When it comes to getting the most out of your time on the mountain, having the right skiing accessories can make all the difference. From improving comfort and safety to keeping your gear organized and protected, accessories are the details that turn a good ski day into a great one.

Here’s a breakdown of the skiing accessories worth having in your kit—both on and off the slopes.

Must-Have Skiing Accessories for the Slopes

1. Ski Goggles
Clear vision is everything on the mountain. A good pair of goggles with interchangeable lenses for varying light conditions protects your eyes and improves your visibility in snow, fog, or bright sun.

2. Helmet
Safety is non-negotiable. Modern ski helmets are lightweight, comfortable, and often feature ventilation systems and audio integration.

3. Gloves or Mittens
Warm, waterproof gloves or mittens are critical. Consider carrying an extra pair in case the first set gets wet during a long day on the hill.

4. Ski Socks
High-quality ski socks (not regular cotton socks) keep your feet warm and dry without bulk. Look for moisture-wicking, snug-fitting designs made from merino wool or performance synthetics.

5. Neck Gaiter or Balaclava
A neck gaiter or balaclava protects your face and neck from cold wind and blowing snow, especially on stormy days or when riding chairlifts.

6. Backpack with Hydration System
For longer days or backcountry adventures, a lightweight backpack with a hydration bladder lets you carry essentials like snacks, water, an extra layer, and avalanche gear if necessary.

Accessories for Ski Gear Care and Convenience

1. Ski Straps
Simple but critical. Voile Straps®, for example, are one of the best ways to secure skis together for transport or to organize gear at home or in the car. They’re strong, flexible, and endlessly useful beyond just skiing.

2. Boot Bags
A dedicated boot bag makes carrying boots, helmets, and smaller accessories much easier and more organized, especially if you’re traveling.

3. Wax and Tuning Kits
Keeping your skis in top shape with regular tuning and waxing improves speed, control, and the life of your gear. A small at-home kit covers basic edge sharpening and waxing.

4. Ski Locks
On crowded days at the resort, a simple cable lock gives peace of mind when you leave skis unattended.

Storing Ski Gear Between Adventures

Organization doesn’t stop when you leave the mountain. Proper storage keeps your gear protected and ready for the next trip.

While hooks and racks can help, Gravity Grabber offers a flexible storage solution built specifically with skis and snowboards in mind. Gravity Grabber’s spring-loaded arms grip skis securely without putting pressure on edges or bases, making it easy to store skis upright, cleanly, and safely.

It’s also useful for other gear like snowboards, paddles, fishing rods, and yard tools, giving you year-round value beyond ski season.

Bonus Accessories for Extra Comfort

• Hand and foot warmers for cold days

• Action cameras to capture your runs

• Adjustable poles if you do both resort and backcountry skiing

• Avalanche safety gear if you venture into unpatrolled terrain

Each small addition helps make your time on the mountain smoother, safer, and more enjoyable.

Gear Up for Better Ski Days

Having the right skiing accessories turns a good day into a great one. From protecting yourself on the slopes to organizing and caring for your gear off the hill, investing in quality accessories pays off every season.
Whether you’re bundling up with the right outerwear, securing your skis with durable straps, or organizing everything at home with a flexible system like Gravity Grabber, the details matter—and they make skiing even more fun.

Because the less you have to worry about your gear, the more you can focus on the mountain ahead.
