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 co
ntact 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.
50E room deposit: also placed in envelope with name on and given to Ms Watkins.
