Even items like jackets and salopettes can be hired if you\u2019re a first time skier, through companies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ski-chic.com\/en\/delivery-areas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ski-Chic.<\/a> If you\u2019re travelling at a peak time like Christmas\/New Year, Half term, or Easter, then you will need to book ski gear ahead to avoid disappointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The essentials for skiers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Skis<\/li><li>Boots (if you\u2019re hiring boots, make sure to take ski socks to your local shop when trying them on)<\/li><li>Ski poles (sometimes beginners will learn without poles)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The essentials for boarders:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Snowboard<\/li><li>Snowboard boots<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-ovo-cta-button\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ovonetwork\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\">Follow us on instagram<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover has-background-dim\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-49047\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/karsten-winegeart-iWMd0aZPZkI-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\">Clothing and accessories<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to what to take on a skiing holiday is layers!

holidays offer guaranteed fun for the whole family, however safety on the mountain is paramount. The amount\/ type of equipment you will require is based on the type of skiing you want to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those wanting to explore the off piste terrain for the first time, should always be accompanied by a professional guide. Guides can be booked through your local ski school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend packing the following safety equipment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Helmet- this is an absolute essential, don\u2019t hit the slopes without it!<\/li><li>Avalanche kit for off piste skiing<\/li><li>Walkie talkies<\/li><li>Back protector<\/li><li>High factor sun cream<\/li><li>Water<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it for the essentials! Make sure to pack warm clothes for your time away from the slopes, as well as all your cosmetic essentials. When you stay at an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OVO Network<\/a> property, you don\u2019t have to worry about taking towels, or where to wash your clothes- our partner properties have that covered!
