This weekend, I’m heading West to ski both Vail & Steamboat Springs with my best friend & our families! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been to Colorado & I seriously can’t wait. I’ve never skied Vail but I learned how to ski in Steamboat when I was 6, so it’ll be nice to experience both new & familiar mountains during this week-long adventure!

For those of you who ski/snowboard or learning how to this season, I’ve shared some of my ski & après ski essentials curated from many weekend trip experiences up to Vermont. This post is relatively similar but includes a few more things I’m packing & the travel items I’m using, given I’ll be away for a longer trip this time around.
