To bring:
- Layers of clothing (layers are better than heavy clothing because of the temp changes in the mountains)
- Sunscreen
- Swimsuit (hot tub!)
- Health insurance information
- Credit/debit card
- VHS movies for the ride
- Backpack
- Flask (especially important if you are under 21)
Don't bring:
- Cases of beer/Liquor bottles (alcohol for the ride is fine, but don't stock up for your time there. There are liqour stores, and they will be accessible and inexpensive) If that doesn't convince you, liquor bottles explode in the mountains if sealed at low altitude.
- Excessive clothing (you won't need a lot of clothes to go out every night)
- More than 1 carry-on, 1 suitcase, 1 ski/board bag. Space is very limited on the bus. Packing the aisles with luggage is very uncomfortable for everyone.
To consider buying if you don't already have:
- Goggles
- Performance underwear (there's a huge difference between sweatpants and good quality winter underwear)
- Two-way radios
- Nalgene or other good-quality water bottle
