As much as we yearn for summer vacays all year round, there’s something to be said for embracing the cold and heading on a snow getaway. Not only does it make for the perfect active holiday, but there’s nothing quite like relaxing by the fire with a hot chocolate after a long day of skiing and snowboarding. Plus, it’s the perfect opportunity to rock the ski bunny look! If you’re hitting the slopes this winter, here are 12 snow essentials you’ll need to stay snug and stylish.
Roxy Wildlife 15K Snow Jacket
If there’s one thing you absolutely cannot do without at the snow, it’s a great ski jacket. This one from Roxy will keep you warm, dry and cosy, no matter how many times you stack it off your skis or board!

We Are Feel Good Inc Signature Sunscreen
Many of us associate sunscreen with warm, sunny days—but the snow can actually reflect up to 90% of UV radiation due to its highly reflective nature, meaning you can get burnt even when the temperature is low. So, packing sunscreen for your snow getaway is a must and We Are Feel Good Inc is easily our top pick. Not only does the non-greasy, long-lasting 50+ formula feel great on the skin, it’s free from chemical nasties like preservatives and parabens.

Oakley Line Miner Goggles
Speaking of UV radiation, protecting your peepers at the snow is non-negotiable. Not only do these goggles look great (as far as goggles go), they feature Oakley’s innovative Prizm technology to keep you squint-free as you glide down the slopes.
