Long Johns (if you're a bloke) or thick woolen tights (Female!!). Ski suits are fine but the extra layer underneath is essential. 2. Long sleeved vests. Same reason as 1. 3. Ski socks - ie. thick socks which come up to the knee 4. Sun glasses. Without them on a very sunny day you can get snow blindness which is VERY VERY painful and will put you in a dark room for 10 days. 5. Baby oil and chap stick. The wind, the cold and the sun will make your face cold and your lips chapped without it. If possible, get your own ski jacket and trousers from a shop selling last season's outfits. Nobody on the slope can tell how 'new' your kit is, so why spend hundreds on something you might only use once. Good gloves and hat are well worth spending money on. A cold face and cold hands will quickly drive you off the slopes. (See 5. above) Rent your skis and boots in the resort. Make sure that they adjust the ski bindings to reflect your skiing ability, sex, height and weight. And finally....... the most important.......... Get holiday insurance to cover winter sports. Nobody in the mountains will touch you until they see your insurance details. Then............ go and Really enjoy yourself. 99/100 people do.<br><b>References : </b><br> Here are some things that not many people think about.

You need a goo pair of gloves and a good woolly hat all for on the slopes. When you going out in the evening you'll need a good pair of boots (like hiking boots) cause you won't get very far walking around in your jimmy Choo's. Just pack good warm clothes for the evenings and you'll be sound. Have a good time, you'll love it. I went to a place called Westendorf in Austria ( amazing) this year we're going to a place called Livigno In Italy. Your ski's and boots will probably be included in the price of holiday.<br><b>References : </b><br> how ya doing Kaishia, you'll need a ski suit , you can hire these but you can also but them fairly cheap if you look around,.
