Heading up to Tahoe or your local resort? Well we're pretty excited for you (and a little jealous) so we put together a list of the gear you'll wish you remembered, so you can spend less time on preparation and more time enjoying all that pow.
 

THE ESSENTIALS

Winter weather is never predictable so it's important to be safe and prepared. Besides tire chains, Caltrans recommends you stock your car with the items below:

☐ Snow brush & ice scraper - keep your windows clear of snow so you can see it all
☐ Shovel - a lifesaver for when your car gets snowed-in
☐ Blankets & extra clothing - stay comfortable with warm blankets and your favorite hoodie
☐ Gloves - especially helpful for when you're installing chains
☐ Water & snacks - great to have if you're snowed-in, even better to have if you're not
☐ Flashlight - don't forget the batteries!
☐ First aid kit - always a necessity, whether you're snow-bound or not

THE FUN STUFF

Here at Sports Basement, we also recommend playing in the snow, a lot. So here's a list of the all gear that'll help you make the most out of those snow days (and keep you comfortable while you're at):

☐ Sleds & saucers
☐ Snowball makers
☐ Snow boots
☐ Warmers (for your hands & toes)
☐ Insulated bottles (maybe for some special libations...)
☐ Winter headwear & scarves 
☐ Sunglasses
