Packing 101
What do you bring when battling a 50-pound weight limit and glacial temps? A handy his-and-hers primer.
SHE BRINGS
A Super-Luxe Suitcase
Practically weightless, this Rimowa bag easily rolls over any terrain, while the gold-hued exterior masks all adventure-related dings.
“Business Multiwheel” aluminum trolley, $1,375, Rimowa.
A Practically Impractical Jacket
It might not be as toasty as a puffer coat, but this cozy sheepskin number pairs well with an après-ski hot toddy. Better to look good…
“Kilia” jacket, $3,690, Moncler.
Heels for Dinner by the Fire
Cast away those well-worn ski boots in favor of something more appropriate for a romantic evening.
“Tech Knit” fabric booties, $695, Salvatore Ferragamo.
Heavy-Duty Skiwear
This isn’t your first rodeo. True slope hounds insulate with a durable wool base layer.
“Satoro AR” shirt, $119, and pants, $109, Arc’teryx.
HE BRINGS
A Do-It-All Duffel
Stuff it in the overhead and lose all fear of lost bags. Bonus: A cross-body strap keeps hands free for beer.
Filson “Medium Field” duffel, $195, Boston General Store.
The Winter Coat He Bought in College
So what if the zipper is broken and the sleeves are frayed? An L.L. Bean jacket never goes out of style.

Slippers for Dinner in the Room
Because there’s nothing like a T-bone in bed when the weather outside is frightful.

A Heavy-Duty Flask
Another clever way to warm up in the snow? An easy-to-conceal canvas flask filled with your favorite whiskey.
