WHAT TO WEAR
Here at June Mountain the weather can change quickly from calm and sunny to cold and windy. For clothing, think about layers. From December to February you will want to have a base layer or thermals to keep you extra insulated when the high for the day is 30 degrees Fahrenheit. After that, a sweatshirt or flannel under your waterproof jacket will suffice. Waterproof pants are also key. If you are new to the sport, chances are you will spend a little time sitting on the snow before starting to glide smoothly on top of it. Overall, having the above on hand is generally a good idea. We do not have waterproof clothing to rent, but we do have some for sale at June Sports inside the Chalet.

SKI & SNOWBOARD EQUIPMENT
For guests bringing gear from home, we offer day-use, overnight, and seasonal lockers in The Chalet. If you'd rather save yourself the hassle, you can rent directly on-hill from the Rental & Demo Shop. Advanced reservations are required.

PARENTS CHECKLIST

• Warm waterproof/resistant pants and jacket
• Beanie

• Eye protection, sunglasses or goggles
• Neck gaiter (for cold or stormy days)
