Whether you use a covered track, a dry road or have never tried a snow sport, a brief guide to your first trip to the mountains can make the experience even more enjoyable.

• Renting equipment is cheaper and more accessible.

If you do not have ski or snowboard equipment, the rental is usually cheaper and more accessible than transporting it to your first destination. In most tourist centres, there are not many pawnshops, so you can quickly pick up skis, shoes, poles and, often, helmets when you arrive. In many cases, you can receive an offer when you pre-order your rental equipment online. Having your kit is great, but it can be expensive and transportable!

It is a good idea to take classes at your local snow centre or on dry hillsides before leaving. As you spend time learning, you will learn about the skiing essentials like snow shoes, bags, and other accessories that could come in handy.

• The right ski holiday insurance is a must.

When planning your first ski trip or any ski trip, it is vital that you have the appropriate travel insurance and all the skiing or snowboarding activities you want to participate in. As for summer vacations, a ski tour requires standard coverage to cover your trip in case of illness, loss of luggage or unexpected medical expenses. However, you also need insurance to protect you from hillside accidents, commonly known as winter sports.

• The fewer expectations, the better the experience.

Each authorised skier can tell you how the weather and snow conditions can be unpredictable in the mountains. However, this does not mean that you will not have good times at all times. During heavy snow, you can enjoy the fluffy snow-covered slopes. On a bright, cold and icy day, the Bluebird sun can be impressive.

On your first ski tour, you will learn new techniques in the snow and discover the mountain. However, there may be ups and downs, advances and setbacks. If you just enjoyed the trip, you’ll have a good ski vacation!
