Required Equipment

Required Equipment

Rent or bring your skis, boots and poles.  Instructors will be available to advise you in equipment for your ability, age and weight whether you wish to purchase or rent from an outside rental store.  The Mountaineers does not provide you with equipment, and we do not have equipment to rent at the Lodge. 

Helmets are strongly recommended.

Handwear: The rope tow wears out gloves and mitts quickly, so we recommend wearing leather work gloves over glove liners.  Welding gloves also work well.  Meany also has several styles of leather over-mitt protectors available for sale.   Most people stay plenty warm while skiing.  We recommend bringing a separate pair of warm mitts to wear while you are not skiing.  

Wear an old jacket.  

Lodge fees and Washington State Parks Sno-park permits not included.
