Snowboard Packing List: What To Pack For Your Snowboarding Adventure!

Planning to go on a snowboarding trip soon? I just came back from a 5-day trip to wine country in British Columbia, Canada which included loads of wine touring along with snow adventures like dog sledding and snowboarding. I thought I’d share a snowboard packing list to help you prepare for future snowboard trips you may have.
TRIP PLANNING STARTS HERE

HELPFUL GENERAL TRAVEL TIPS
- Flights: Find a cheap flight using Skyscanner or Momondo. I like these two booking sites because they both search all websites and airlines around the globe including budget airlines.
- Accommodations: I use Booking.com or Tripadvisor to find the best rates on hotels. Hotels.com offers a free night after booking 10 nights.
- Travel Insurance: Having gotten sick on my travels in the past, I never travel without being insured. You never know when something may happen. For my round the world trip and extended long-term travel, I use World Nomads. For other trips, I have used Roam Right and they cover activities like extreme sports.

Snowboard Packing List Must – Travel Insurance
With a winter vacation where I am participating in activities like snowboarding, I always book travel insurance. I can try to be careful on the mountain, go slow, and wear a helmet but it’s still impossible to predict what could happen. From past experiences, while travelling and having to go or taking my friends to a hospital, I’m a stickler for travel insurance. Anything from flight delays, cancellations, lost luggage or injury is possible on a trip, so travellers going on a ski or snowboard trip should consider Roam Right Insurance when it comes to travelling.

For The Flight & Day 1 (Winery and dinner)
I always wear the most clothes for my flight. So I wore my Nike Avant pants, white v-neck, and red plaid flannel underneath my Uniqlo puffy. It wasn’t too terribly cold up in the Okanagan region (always check the weather) so this outfit was fine to arrive in. I threw my fleece underlayer on once I got to Canada. I prefer to wear easily removable shoes for the flight since we have to remove them at security so I wore my N.D.C. boots.
For Sleeping
I wore my Nike sweats and a Heat Tech layer for pyjamas I don’t sweat that much in the winter luckily.

Snowboard Packing List + Dog Sledding
Snowboard Gear
- Burton Women’s AK Jacket
- Burton Women’s AK pants
- Champion C9 Sports bra (from Target)
- Burton base layer top and andBurton base layer bottom
- Wine BC gave me a zip-up layer and it was perfect because I needed to be warmer in the snow
- 32 Snowboard Boots
- Burton Party Socks
- Burton Kids mitts (I have baby hands)
- Anon Helmet
- Anon Goggles
I didn’t pack my snowboard this trip and prefer to use my own gear but since we were going to be touring wineries for a few days before, I didn’t want to leave my gear in our van. If I was going directly to the mountain then I would have.
Wine Makers Dinner
The dinner was in our hotel so there was no need for extra warmth!
- H&M Cream sweater
- Uniqlo Heat-tech underlayer
- Zara pencil skirt
- NDC leather boots
- Aritzia socks
Journey Home
We drove from Sunpeaks back to Kelowna Airport to fly home to California. I wanted to be warm and comfortable and then be able to de-layer if I got too hot. Also, remember about space in your back if you want to bring things home. Since I was coming home from BC Wine Country and do not have access to BC wines in California, I wanted to bring some back for my friends.
- Uniqlo puffy coat long
- Uniqlo red plaid flannel (I love their men’s shirts and have one in xs)
- Forever 21 white v-neck shirt
- Nike Avant pants
- Nike circle scarf (this is great for rolling into a ball for a pillow on the plane)
- Soxxy Nighthawk compression socks (for the plane ride)
- Grey Aritzia beanie
- Nike Air Max Sneakerboots (I wore these home b/c they are heavier than NDC boots)
- Aritzia socks
I did pack a few things that were unnecessary but cut them out of this list since I didn’t use them. If you have access to a washer and dryer in your accommodations you may be able to even bring less. Because I brought my snowboard boots and helmet, I had to check in quite a big bag.
