The Ultimate Guide to Going on a Ski Trip

Resorts like Norefjell, for instance, can provide you with the ultimate skiing experience and it's only a short distance away from Oslo. However, before you hit the slopes, there are certain things you need to take into consideration. From picking the right resort and equipment, to making sure you stay safe on the slopes – here is your ultimate guide to going on a ski trip. 

What to pack for a ski trip

When packing for a ski trip, it is important to pack both warm and waterproof clothing. Some essential items to pack include:
A heavy coat

• Waterproof pants
• Warm boots
• A hat or scarf
• Gloves or mittens
• Sunglasses or goggles
• Sunscreen

That said, sunscreen may seem like a silly thing to bring on a ski trip. However, there are sunny days even during the winter and you can get quite a tan, especially at resorts, such as Norefjell where most of the slopes are on the sunny side.

What to expect on your first ski trip

Skiing is a great way to enjoy the winter weather and get some exercise, but it can be daunting if you've never done it before. Here are a few things to expect on your first ski trip. 

First, you'll need to rent or buy some equipment. If you're renting, the staff at the rental shop at Norefjell will help you choose the right size skis, boots, and poles for your height and weight. They may also give you a brief lesson on how to put on your skis and how to use your poles. 

Next, you'll head to the slopes. If you're a beginner, it's best to start on a green (beginner) run. These runs are usually shorter and not as steep as the more advanced runs. Norefjell, for instance, has 27 alpine slopes which means something for everyone. 

Finally, don't forget to have fun! Skiing is a great way to spend time with friends or family, and even if you don't stay upright the whole time, you're sure to create some great memories.

How to choose the right resort for your skiing trip

When planning a skiing trip, the most important thing to consider is the resort. Not all resorts are created equal and each one offers different things. Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing a resort for your skiing trip: 

• Consider is the location of the resort. You want to make sure that it is close enough to the mountains that you can easily get to the slopes. As mentioned before, Norefjell is just a short distance away from Oslo, which is an ideal location for your ski trip. 
• Consider is the size of the resort. Some resorts are very large with many different amenities while others are smaller and more intimate. Resort at Norefjell has all the facilities you need.
