Posted July 2, 2024
Heading out for a family ski trip can be an exhilarating experience, but it requires some serious preparation, especially when it comes to gear. Having the whole family in the right equipment not only enhances the fun but also keeps everyone safe from kids to adults. Here’s how to get your family geared up for a perfect day on the slopes with the help of My Epic Gear memberships.
1. Assessing Your Family's Needs
Every family member will need different gear based on their skill level and preferences. Start by making a list of the essentials:
- Skis and/or snowboards
- Boots for your sport
- Helmets
- Poles for skiers
- Goggles
- Warm clothing for layering and protection

With child memberships for kids ages 3-12 and adult memberships for ages 13+, everyone can be set up to shred regardless of age, size, or skill level.
