someone messaged me about this, and i typed a lot, so i figured i'd post it


clothes-warm and cold, i took SO many, and needed like them all
shoes- like a pair for chilling and a pair for sports, plus i brought flip flops
ski wear- from coats to layers to tee's, everything
googles- MIRROR LENSES, i take 3 pair of goggles, just because i'm that cool
poles- since i'm sponsored for poles, i'm taking 2 pair, plus 1 or 2 pair of skis, and boots
boot dryers (electric ones)
camera, still, video, digi, whatever
sunscreen
sunglasses
music
coolness-everyone is so chill
money
maybe some munchies or something
enough batteries, film, etc.
toiletries
i stay in a hotel, so i'm not sure if you neeed towels and stuff where you are
swim suit
shorts and pants, like i said...you have NO idea what the weather will be
waterproof shit
possibly spare boot liners
possibly more than 1 snow pant pair (definitely) light and heavy ones
hats, beanies, bandanas, du rags, whatever's your style
sunscreen
sunscreen
sunscreen - it's the truth
aloe vera
condoms
whatever you like to have for partying...
headphones, maybe speakers
wallet you won't lose
ATM card
keep your receipts
enough space so you can bring shit home too

you're paying all the money for camp, don't cheap out when it comes to like souveniours like i do

addresses of friends for postcards
calling card

wow, i've typed a lot of stuff

ski bag with enough room in case you win skis (me) or poles, or boots, or whatever

room for all the free stuff you get


i have these bags:
soft line ski bag
soft line boot bag backpack
spy cargo bag-huge on wheels
northface backpack- carry on

sweet stuff? what do you mean?

i take a boot bag that has my boots, and i throw gloves and hats in the storage, maybe a pair of snowpants

spending money: I think ATM card is the only way to go. last year, my friend, before he went, got 300 cdn and that was about perfect. he spent without thinking really though...spending easily.

Be prepared for all weather basically - today its ~hot~ up there, and has been for a while. Hiting 70 degrees is common, and often hotter, but the last day the glacier was open last year - foot of fresh. Expect rain, snow and sun, but hope that you just get the sun.

Bring a back pack to cary your gear to the snow (3 lifts and one bus ride at Blackcomb) so you can ride the chairs just wearing your ski pants, a wife beater shirt and your flip flops. It gets way hot coming down at the end of the day, and you'll be happy that you can carry your gear instead of wearing it.

yeah man that's what I'm wondering, how the fuck am I supposed to pack all this stuff into few enough bags that I can actually carry the damn things? It's not that I don't appreciate the advice on what to bring, it's just that I don't know how the hell I can pack it all.

a few things i forgot
HOODIES since you pretty much never wear a coat to the glacier (when it's nice) you still always wear a hoodie because it can get cold on the way up

backpack to take up to glacier with you every day


do you mean a big enough bag for the trip or for glacier daily?

you're welcome guys
when i went for my first time last year, i would have killed for someone to do this for me


well, about the gear.
like i said, this is what I take:
Carry-on backpack that i also use for on the mountain...it's a northface atlantis, mid-sized, and i carry (just a pack...no frame...not a backpacking backpck): on the plane i have my music, maybe some paper, whatever...
on the wayhome (bring a folder) i put my stickers and stuff in it

up mountain every day i bring my music, some different layers,gloves, helmet, sunscreen, goggles with both lenses, sunglasses, water bottle

another thing to bring if camp doesnt give one: water bottle


line boot bag backpack: my boots with liners, i might put my boot dryers or socks right in the boots for flight - use all available space
in cargo i'll put some gloves and hats, maybe a pair of snowpants. this is pretty well padded in the middle, so a good place for goggles/glasses (if no, put in carry on bag)

line ski bag: skis with poles (1 or 2 pair of each) and since it's a soft bag, i pad it with sweatshirts, which is good, because they take up a lot of room in my bag

spy bigass wheeled cargo bag:
helmet? i don't know wher this will go. put goggles in it, it'll prtect them!
clothes
shorts
pants
shoes
any other snow gear
hoodie
razor
toiletries
anything else i take. pack tight, but leave room for new hoodies or wahtever- or just layer a lot on the way home

remember- who knows what you could win/end up bringing home!

if your ski bag is under 6 feet you're good
and you get 3 bags to check

this was for...i think ...continental last year, i think it was them.

i need to look into it for whoever i'm flying with this year (my mom handled that)

take it from an experienced traveller. Buy a good sized hockey bag on wheels, throw everything you could possibly imagine in it. Step two, buy a ski bag on wheels that can hold at least 3 pairs. Put two in, and stuff the rest with anything you could not fit in your hockey bag. Boots fit perfectly into the hockey bag if you pack them first. Most importantly, when you travel around the globe like this, everybody knows that you are a true canadian dirtbag who likes to play puck, instead of some wuss american with a line bootbag who needs these ski brand names so people will think he is sponsored. Take that, booyah!

Helmets?
Yeah - if you are hitting any tables, difficult rails or difficult spines in the camp terrain, you *must* wear a helmet. The camp coaches and patrol will mostly likely both be enforcing it.

It might seem like a drag, but its all about the insurance companies, who frankly, rule the world. If the helmet rule wasn't there, camps and Whistler Blackcomb would either A) not be able to get insurance, and therfore NO PARK AT ALL, or B) Premiums would go way up, and you would be paying way more to play.

Besides, its just smart to wear a helmet, unless you like intercranial bleeding.

Yeah man,
It was last year too, but that was the first season for the policy, so it was a bit loose with enforcement. So that ~doesn't~ mean that you have to wear the lid 24-7, but it does mean that if you are rocking the hard stuff, you do.

Just a word about your ski bag-

I traveled a bunch this year, some airline associates who check in your bags for you will charge you extra if you have more than 1 pair of skis...if you stuff clothes in your ski pair you can just say you have 1, but if they check you might get charge up to $75 for an extra pair of skis..but it depends on who checks your bags in..

i calleed my airline, united

normally you're allowed to have 2 bags checked

but if you have a ski and a boot bag, they count as one bag (separate bags though) and my cargo bag counts as another bag, the second, plus my carry on, so it's cool.
