Winter Camping Packing List

Snow pants and jackets

• You will probably do most of your activities in snow pants and jackets, including horseback riding.

Wool layers and socks

• Multiple layers are your best bet for staying warm. A wool-base layer with fleece, flannel or down as a secondary layer should guarantee you a toasty, warm vacation! We recommend SmartWool products.

Snow gloves or mittens with a waterproof outer shell

• Fleece is only comfortable when it’s dry, so fleece gloves are not a good option for snow play.
• If you prefer something thinner to ride in, we recommend Burton glove liners, which provide some thickness and warmth without the bulk of a ski or snowboard glove.

Snow boots

• You’ll be doing just about everything in snow boots. We recommend Sorel or North Face boots. (Please note: UGG boots are very fashionable, and most people love that they have a wonderful shearling lining, but their soles are slick and provide limited traction, thus making them impractical for walking around the resort. In addition, UGG boots are not waterproof.)

Ski goggles

• You’ll use these for a myriad of ranch activities, including for tubing and sledding, dog sledding, snowmobiling, etc.

Warm hats, scarves, headbands and balaclava

• Make sure your hat covers your ears!

Paws Up provides:

• Ice skates and hockey skates (and hockey sticks!)
• Non-insulated slickers for riding (such as windbreakers)
• Helmets
• Hand and toe warmers
• Yaktrax
