Wer warm hat, färt besser…good advice in any language

This is the equipment list I use for my own ski tours. It is not a definitive list, but in my experience it covers the essentials for a hut-based, multi-day tour. There be items here you neither need nor want to carry, but the list can be a useful aide-memoire when preparing for a tour.

Given that you are not self-catering, your packed sack for a week-long ski tour, including your share of group equipment, should weigh between 8 and 12 kilos. Obviously there will be some variation in the weight and warmth of the clothing depending on whether you are touring early or late season and on anticipated weather conditions. If your sack weighs much more than indicated above, you need to take a close look at what you are carrying.

Personal Kit List

The Three Essentials

 Shovel – ideally a large metal-bladed shovel suitable for digging in hard snow.

 Transceiver – to be worn at all times when skiing. All transceivers should be a single-frequency 457kHz model. Some earlier models had a different frequency: avoid these. Take spare batteries.
