Planning a vacation is tricky right now. As non-essential travel is currently not recommended by the CDC, it’s important to make sure you’re not putting yourself — or others — at risk. Luckily, the winter season does present opportunities to go skiing or snowboarding!

Heading out on the slopes is an outdoor activity, and it’s not necessarily a social one. For the most part, you’ll likely stay with your pod — and the sport itself is inherently distanced. Plus, many mountains may be in driving distance from your home — so there’s no need for you to take public transportation. If you’re thinking about embarking on a ski vacation, make sure you have everything you need. If you’re not sure about what to pack, we have six useful suggestions for you below!

This Portable Charger

Anker | PowerCore III Sense 10K Wireless Portable Charger
Anker | PowerCore III Sense 10K Wireless Portable Charger LifeToGo

Keeping your phone fully charged at all times is a must in everyday life — but it’s especially true if you’re planning to be on the slopes for extended periods of time. In case of emergency, having an accessible device is key. Plus, you may want to listen to your favorite tunes on the mountain!
