Top Tips to Help you Pack for your Ski Holiday

滑雪假日打包小贴士

无论是周末去周边滑雪还是长假去远途滑雪胜地，出门前你都需要准备好一些必需品。行李箱里到底要装哪些东西？既然去滑雪，是不是就要带很多很厚的衣服呢？装备怎么办？以下几点小贴士可能会帮到你。

1. Layer up 一层一层把自己裹起来

Although it can be tempting to purchase the biggest, thickest items of clothing for a ski holiday, the best way to maintain heat is by layering lots of thin layers. When you place lots of thin layers on top of each other the heat is trapped between each layer and this keeps you warmer than one large thick layer of clothing. Although you'll still need top layer waterproofs, you should try and keep everything underneath thin and fitted. It is also easier to adjust your temperature because you can remove a few layers rather than taking off one thick layer and becoming cold quickly.

一想到要去滑雪，很多人都想要买最厚实的衣服，不过，最佳保暖方式其实是用很多层薄衣服把自己裹起来。把衣服一层一层穿在身上的时候，热量会被保留在每一层衣服之间，这比只穿一件很厚的衣服更保暖。最外面一层当然要穿防水的衣服，但穿在里面的衣服最好不要太厚，要合身。这样穿也更便于随时调节身体温度，太热就把里面的衣服脱掉几件。而如果你只穿了一件很厚的衣服，脱掉以后，身体立马就会冷下来了。

2. Go for Quality or Hire 买还是租？

If you're stuck between purchasing cheap ski-wear or hiring your top layer clothing you should most definitely hire. Cheap ski-wear is not effective and will not have the durability you need for long periods of time on the slopes. Hiring could also be a cheaper alternative as package holidays often include equipment hire in the price. If you can afford to invest in high quality ski-wear before you go you can feel reassured it will last the holiday and many future holidays to come.

如果你在购买廉价的滑雪服和租一套高级滑雪服之间犹豫不决的话，建议你最好租一套。便宜的滑雪服性能会打折扣，而且可能也经不起你长时间在雪道上的折腾。租一套反而可能是个更加经济的选择，因为很多滑雪度假酒店套餐里面本身就包含了租服装的价格。当然了，如果你有钱购置一套高级滑雪服的话，那就安心购买吧，以后滑雪度假的时候都能穿。

3. Check for Safety and Fit 装备安全检查

If you're taking your own equipment you should make sure it still fits before you leave. You do not want to get to the resort and find your boots or helmet are too small as you will have wasted luggage allowance and have to use your holiday spending money to hire or buy equipment when you're at the resort. You should also check all equipment is still safe, you should check if the equipment is worn beyond repair, cracked or damaged and still connects to any relating equipment properly.

如果是带自己的装备去滑雪，那么出发前一定要确保装备都是正常可用的。你也不想到了滑雪场才发现靴子穿不上，头盔也戴不了，然后又得现场花钱花时间购置或租装备。一定要检查所有滑雪装备都安全可用，看看装备有没有裂痕、或者损坏，还能不能修好，看所有装备是否都能正常配套使用。
