Every holiday season, I pack up my things and escape the craze of the holidays in NYC to head to my family’s place in Colorado. I look forward to it every year—seeing family members I don’t normally get to see, making holiday cocktails with my sisters, and, my favorite part, busting out the ski clothes I store in my grandparents house to head up the mountain for a little après-ski. After all, that is why people go to the mountains, right? After years of spending my holidays in Colorado, when it comes to packing for my annual winter trip, I have become somewhat of an expert. I have learned several tips and tricks that make packing up all of my essentials (and, trust me, it’s a long list) easy and stress free, which is exactly how you want your packing experience to be. I listed 35 items that I’ll be bringing with me this year on my winter travels, including packing cubes, my favorite cosmetics cases, travel fragrances, aprés-ski looks, and everything in between. 

Trust me, you’re going to want to take a look at these. Keep scrolling to see which 35 items made my list.
