Racers need to bring their skies, boots, poles, helmets, and gloves/mittens. Make sure their skies are tuned and sharpened the night before. Most kids wear their race suits, but some don’t own them and just use their ski pants/bibs. If it is cold make sure they have layers, hand/toe warmers, and neckies – all of the usual clothes. But for a race, you strip down at the top of the race course. Racing is a timed sport, the less bulky clothes you have on effects this. Don’t worry, their jackets/ski pants will be brought down by coaches in batches and piled up at the bottom of race course. So just hang out for couple mins to retrieve your racer jacket/pants.
