Equipment Checklist EQUIPMENT All equipment and clothing should be clearly marked. The most effective way to keep track of all gear is to use a waterproof marker to write your child’s last name on masking tape. Label all loose items including skis/snowboard, boots, bags, jackets and helmets. SKIS AND SNOWBOARDS Ski and/or snowboard equipment must be obtained prior to each Saturday’s departure. For safety reasons, we require every participant to obtain modern ski/snowboard equipment, including: Skis or snowboard with bindings Ski or snowboard boots Snowboard leash or ski brakes Ski poles (skiers only) Special lease and rental packages are available to Blue Angel participants at participating retail outlets. Each of the participating shops will have a listing of all Blue Angel participants. CLOTHING Participants are also required to come prepared for all weather conditions. Temperatures in the mountains range from below freezing to 65 degrees. Required proper ski/snowboard attire includes: Ski/snowboard pants and jacket - insulated and waterproof Thermal underwear Ski sweater or heavy sweatshirt Ski/snowboard gloves or mittens - waterproof and insulated Blue Angel helmet (provided at orientation) Face protection - scarf and/or neck gaiter Ski/snowboard socks SUN PROTECTION It is imperative that all participants have proper protection from the harmful rays of the sun. The sun’s rays are more powerful at high altitude (even on cloudy days), and can cause permanent eye damage and severe sunburn. Sunglasses - Select sunglasses or goggles guaranteed to protect the eyes from the ultra-violet rays of the sun Sunscreen - All participants are required to apply sunscreen to all exposed areas of the skin (lips, face, ears, etc.) Your child will get the most out of the program if he or she is dressed in the appropriate attire and is constantly protected from the natural elements. Please consult your local shop for additional advice regarding equipment and clothing.
