Equipment list

You need a backpack for day trips and overnight trips. An ideal backpack for day trips is about 25-40 liters with options for attaching skis to the backpack. A good backpack for overnight trips is 65-95 liters with straps to attach sleeping pads and the like to the outside of the backpack.

Reversing skirt

You must have a winter sleeping bag. The sleeping bag should have a comfort temperature of ten degrees below zero or colder. A liner/sheet bag to put inside the sleeping bag will improve the comfort temperature. In addition, it can be used on cabin trips.
In addition, you need a good sleeping pad that is designed for winter use.

Sleeping bag and sleeping mat

You'll need a first aid kit with sports tape, chafing plasters, plasters/bandages, scissors etc.
You'll also need a shovel and a search rod. You can rent these from the school if you do not have your own. You will also need ski goggles.
You must also have a compass and map folder. You will receive a map of the tours from the school before each tour.

First aid and safety

You need waterproof hiking boots that go over the ankle. Feel free to buy hiking boots in good time before school starts so that you can wear them for a couple of walks to break them in.
You will also need running shoes for outdoor use and gym shoes for use in gyms and training rooms.

Shoes

You will need training clothes for outdoor and indoor sports activities.
You will need a good shell jacket and shell pants/ski pants. Ski trousers must be thin (shell) - not thick/lined bubble trousers. It is an advantage if the ski trousers have braces.
You will also need a pair of breathable hiking trousers for use on trips in the fall. You will need a hat, buff and good warm mittens.
You will also need three sets of wool underwear and wool socks. For the ski season, we recommend socks that are slightly high. You'll also need a thin mid-layer wool sweater and a down jacket or thick wool sweater.
You'll also need gaiters for when it snows in the fall, and we recommend foot bags with soles to use when we camp outside in the winter.

Clothing

You need a water bottle that can withstand boiling water (e.g. Nalgene). You'll also need a headlamp, dining set, thermos, knife, sunglasses and sunscreen.

Other

You need mountain skis/touring skis. In addition to skis, bindings and boots, you'll need traps and telescopic poles or other poles with good pulleys. If you don't already have skis, we recommend that you talk to your teacher before buying skis. We don't need ski equipment until after the fall break, and we have an agreement with a local sports shop for a shopping day with good discounts at the end of October.
