Do you know what also works?

These essential Lifehacks for your (ski) holiday:

1. This mind-blowing folding technique for packing your clothes like a Marie Kondo Guru:
Watch this quick video to learn the most compact packing techniques out there. Using the methods taught in this video will allow you to take more clothes with you on your trip, or, leave more space for souvenirs.

2. Learn To Walk Like a Penguin
Most winter holiday accidents happen not on the ski slopes, but in the village (and mostly after apres-ski —> continue to lifehack #6).
To walk safely on ice and snow, walk like a penguin. Point your feet out, and hold your arms out slightly to your side. Shuffle, and take short steps. Also, lean forward. This is the most important tip! Stay safe kids and take 45 seconds, to watch this video to learn to walk like a penguin, and check the image below.

3. Gas up!
During cold weather months, it’s a good practice to keep at least half a tank of gasoline in your vehicle at all times. Not only does it prevent you from being stranded, but it prevents any water in the tank from freezing, which can damage the fuel pump.

4. Mifi-routers
Not just for ski trips, but for any trip; Mifi-routers. MiFi (Mobile Wireless Fidelity) is a cellular SIM card connection. It’'s basically a device that can get you a portable internet connection over a wireless signal. In my opinion, one of the better investments you can make as a traveling entrepreneur because here is often no WiFi connection in your apartment and Hotel WiFis are often too bad to stream, download and upload properly.

5. Get a portable charger
There are many reasons to buy a portable charger as a digital nomad. First, your phone is your lifeline to the rest of the world. If your phone breaks, you're cut off from everything. A portable charger keeps your phone alive and connected, even when you can't find a power outlet.

6. Après ski - Don't order schnapps, and Jägerbombs, every round. 😅 
Although apres ski is hard work. Because have you ever tried to dance the polonaise in ski boots, in a thick ski suit in a smoky room? In all seriousness: Do not order schnapps and Jägerbombs every time. Keep it simple and drink beer, or even better: Radler, because it has less alcohol and will save you a Headache … 😉
