Here's a thread for people heading up to MHSSC or Windells this summer. If you know any tips just post 'em and help a fellow skier out. I know there's been anti life hack threads, and windells packing list threads, but as far as I know there's never been one like this.

I'll start.. (some of these you might already know)

1. Dry out wet gloves in the hand dryers in timberline's bathrooms
2. Wear basketball shorts and a tshirt under ski clothes so you can remove wet clothes after skiing
3. Bring a couple articles of clothing that you are trying to sell or get rid of, it will be nice to have some extra cash while at camp.
4. Bring a power strip so that you don't have to constantly fight over power outlets.

at momentum you can take the hangers from the closet and stick them in the a/c unit vents. put your wet liners/gloves on the other end and you have yourself a boot dryer / stinky ass room.

put the rock in at the back door of the hotel so you have a way back in if you sneak out.

-Don't get kicked out for doing something completely stupid or pointless, such as sneaking out and partying, drinking or blazing.

-Start wearing your boots around the house one to two days prior to actually skiing.

-Take into consideration what the weather/snow conditions have been like during that summer, bring gear based on that knowledge.

-Don't over extend yourself on the first day, ease back into it, and pace accordingly.

-If you're younger, try not do something that could potentially get your coach into trouble.

Can't think of anything else, I will if I do though
