Planning your ski trip to the majestic slopes of the Republic of Georgia? Whether you’re a seasoned skier or a first-timer, having the right gear can make all the difference. At Adventure Georgia, we’ve got you covered! All of our ski packages include high-quality ski equipment, unless otherwise noted, so you can focus on enjoying your time on the slopes without worrying about gear. Here’s a guide to what you’ll need to stay warm, comfortable, and safe on your skiing adventure.
1. Ski Clothing
Your clothing plays a major role in your comfort while skiing. Dressing in layers is key to staying warm and dry, while allowing for easy movement.
- Base Layers: Start with thermal, moisture-wicking tops and leggings. These will keep you warm without making you sweaty.
- Mid Layers: A fleece or soft-shell jacket is perfect for insulation, keeping body heat close.
- Outer Layer (Ski Jacket and Pants): Look for a waterproof and windproof outer layer to shield you from snow and wind. This will keep you dry without compromising breathability.
- Ski Socks: Invest in moisture-wicking, wool or synthetic socks to keep your feet warm and dry.
- Gloves or Mittens: Insulated, waterproof gloves are a must. Mittens provide more warmth, but gloves offer better dexterity.
- Neck Gaiter or Balaclava: Protect your face from cold winds with a neck warmer or balaclava, especially during harsher conditions.
2. Ski Equipment
At Adventure Georgia, we provide high-quality ski gear as part of our packages, so you don’t have to worry about buying or renting equipment on-site (unless otherwise noted). Here’s what to expect:
- Skis or Snowboard: Our packages include equipment suited to your skill level and the terrain you’ll be exploring. We ensure everything is in top condition for your safety and comfort.
- Bindings: Secure and easy-to-use bindings are provided to ensure your boots are snug and safe.
- Ski Poles: For skiers, we include adjustable poles perfect for tackling Georgia’s varying terrains.
- Boots: Comfortable, well-insulated, and waterproof boots are included in all our packages, ensuring you have the best fit and performance on the slopes.
3. Safety Gear
Safety is a top priority when skiing, especially in mountainous regions like Georgia’s Caucasus. We include safety gear to keep you well-protected on your adventure.
- Helmet: A helmet is a non-negotiable when skiing or snowboarding. We provide high-quality helmets to ensure your safety at all times.
- Goggles: Our packages include goggles with UV protection and anti-fog lenses, so you can enjoy clear visibility regardless of the weather conditions.
4. Additional Accessories
While we provide the essential equipment, there are a few personal items that can make your skiing experience even more comfortable.
- Ski Backpack: A lightweight, waterproof backpack is great for carrying personal essentials like snacks or an extra layer of clothing.
- Hand and Foot Warmers: These heat packs can be handy on particularly cold days.
- Lip Balm and Sunscreen: Even in winter, the sun can be harsh on the slopes. Keep your skin and lips protected from UV exposure and cold winds.
5. Rental vs. Our Included Gear

Our high-quality gear is carefully selected to ensure it meets the standards of both beginners and experienced skiers.
