Items You May Need!

• Jacket and salopettes (trousers): a weatherproof outer layer of jacket and trousers provides the best defence against the element.
• Ski gloves: these are a must, especially for novices whose hands come into frequent contact with the snow.
• A warm, comfortable hat: with 25% of your body heat escaping through your head, it’s a crucial piece of ski clothing.
• Sunglasses: the sun’s rays are reflected off the snow, so full UV protection is essential.
• Goggles: they are optional, but in snowy or overcast conditions goggles may be necessary.
• Thermal underwear: these need to ‘wick’ away body moisture to help keep the body dry which reduces the chances of becoming chilled.
• Thermal socks: it is recommended that you take at least 2 pairs of socks they can be alternated every day.
• Suncream and lipsalve: protection against sun burn is essential as the sun’s strength at high altitude is very strong.
• Ski ties: a pair of Velcro ties can make your life alot easier. They hold skies together when carrying or storing. You can write your name on them to identify your hired skis.
• Snow boots/après ski boots or shoes: these should have grips on the soles.
• Cotton/microfleece/polo neck top: these form your second layer and keep your neck warm. Cotton and fleece are used as they help to absorb moisture.
• Fleece or sweatshirt: used for additional warmth. Fleece is used more often as it is light and has excellent thermal properties.
• Small rucksack: Especially useful if out on the slopes all day. Ideal for carrying spare clothing, packed lunches and cameras.
• Pocket money: no more than £130 put into separate envelopes for each day. Please remember to put name and day on each envelope and given to Ms Watkins.
