A school ski trip can be one of the most memorable experiences pupils have. It can also become one of the most admin-heavy events in the school calendar if the planning is not broken down early.

A ski holiday can feel like a packing test before it feels like a holiday. Skis, boots and outerwear get most of the attention, but small accessories often decide whether a day on the mountain feels comfortable or frustrating.

A ski jacket or pair of salopettes can look the right size on a label and still feel wrong on the mountain. Too tight, and it restricts movement. Too loose, and cold air gets in, sleeves slip over gloves, or trouser legs bunch awkwardly around boots.

Cold hands, damp socks and a sweaty base layer can turn a brilliant ski day into a long wait for hot chocolate. The good news is that ski clothing is not complicated once the layers make sense.

Ski clothing is one of the easiest parts of a ski holiday to underestimate. Flights, lift passes and accommodation get the attention, then jackets, salopettes, gloves and goggles suddenly turn into another big decision.
