Did Someone Say Thredbo? Our Essential Snow & Après Ski Checklist

Stay frosty.
Our Essential Snow & Après Ski Checklist for Winter 2022Our Essential Snow & Après Ski Checklist for Winter 2022

With Instagram feeds overflowing due to a swell of Europe ‘22 content and a very real sense of FOMO setting in, we cast our attention to a toasty trip of our own. One that’s a little closer to home. It’s not exactly a beachy, island hop or a European cultural immersion, but there is plenty to like about the unique blend of action and relaxation afforded by a trip down to the snow. As always, one of our favourite parts about planning a getaway is planning the ‘fits, so without further ado, let’s get into our snow gear essentials.

First things first, a puffer jacket, down jacket or some kind of heavy outerwear option is a must-have. For us, The North Face Nuptse is undefeated when it comes to all-weather winter wear. Em Rata, Kanye, Kendall and plenty more of fashion’s frontrunners are on the same page, turning to the classic style season after season. While the all black is an obvious style staple, we’re also all over this year’s colour-soaked seasonal offerings, like the adventurous Apricot Orange, calming Tea Green, and the icy Beta Blue cropped version of the iconic Nuptse silhouette.

We could honestly après all day, but for those more inclined to hit the slopes hard, an outerwear option with less bulk could be the way to go. ROJO Outerwear is a real contender in the ski wear space, best known for its playful takes on technical pieces so you can serve looks with plenty of personality while flying down the mountain. For more traditional ski wear, homegrown hero Yuki Threads is very much a for-snowboarders-by-snowboarders brand that specialises in snowboard jackets, snow pants and bibs. Something about the idea of stepping into a snow-proof one-piece and fastening the shoulder straps feels very official. We’d recommend this option if you’re considering a late run to qualify for the next winter olympics.

Thermals

On a more serious note, once you’ve got your pièce de résistance (in the form of a snow jacket) sorted, it’s time to think about base layers. When the temperature is hovering around the zero mark and wind comes into play, thermals are your best friend. Icebreaker, as its name suggests, specialises in cold weather wear of the highest quality. AKA high-performance warmth. Where do we sign? As well as base layers and a technical apparel line that spans t-shirts, knits, outerwear and more, you can also put the finishing touches on your après ski style with essential snow accessories – we’re talking gloves, scarves, beanies and compression socks.

Snow Goggles

Finally, no ski trip checklist would be complete without snow goggles (side note: also a great accessory for parties) and sunscreen. Don’t be the person who does one and not the other: seeing where you’re going is important, and equally, a goggle tan is NOT a vibe. That’s all from us.
