• Helmet (It's your head, nicer the helmet the safer you will be)

• ID (Photocopy is fine, if you become unresponsive you want patrol to know who you are immediately)

• Skis

• Skins (recommend 2 pairs if race skis)

• Boots

• Poles

• Gloves (Is the extra weight of warm gloves really worth frostbite?)

• Pants 

• Shirt

• Eye Wear (doesn't have to be worn)

• Backpack (Skis on Backpack during booting)

• Extra Top Layer (Anything can happen when Ski Mountaineering)

• BSP (Beacon Shovel Probe) - Just do it... it isn't that heavy

• Ski Retention Device - (leashes, brakes, invisible high-tensile dental floss)

• Headlamp if racing before sunrise or after sunset. 

• CELL PHONE (for Meadow Mtn Backcountry, if you get hurt this is how you call for help)

Recommended - Not Required

• Brakes or Leashes (runaway skis are no fun for anyone)

• Wind layers

• Neck gaiter/ Headband / Hat

• Extra insulating jacket

• 2 ski straps (race boots like to break)

• Warm Gloves (this race isn't worth permanent finger damage)

• Food & Drink
