1. Technical Clothing for Skiing or Snowboarding

The most important thing to enjoy a day in the snow is to wear the right clothes. Below, I'll detail the essentials:

• Thermal shirt: Ideal for maintaining body heat without being bulky.
• Fleece jacket: Adds an intermediate layer that keeps you warm.
• Waterproof jacket and pants: Outer clothing should be water-resistant to protect you from snow and wind.
• Ski socks: These are not the same as regular socks. They are designed to keep warmth and protect your feet from friction with boots.
• Gloves: You'll need waterproof and insulating gloves to keep your hands warm.
• Hat or balaclava: Important to protect your head and neck from the cold.

2. Protective Equipment

Safety comes first when you ski or snowboard. Here are the key protective elements:

• Helmet: Essential to prevent injuries in case of falls.
• Ski goggles: Protect your eyes from wind, cold and sun reflected on snow.
• Wrist, knee and back protectors: Especially recommended if you snowboard, as falls are more common.

3. Equipment for Skiing or Snowboarding

If you don't have your own equipment, don't worry. There are many rental shops in Sierra Nevada where you can get everything you need. At CaranvaSports we work with the best, and you can discover where to rent your equipment here.

If you decide to bring your own equipment, here's what you need:

• Skis or snowboard: Depending on the activity you prefer.
• Boots: It's important that they fit well to ensure comfort and safety.
• Ski poles: Only if you're going skiing, of course.

3.1. Don't forget the accessories

In addition to the main equipment, make sure you bring:

• Sunscreen and lip balm: Snow reflects the sun's rays, so sun protection is essential.
• Small backpack: To carry water, snacks and anything you need while on the slopes.
