Headtorch and small group shelter to fit in your rucsac, in case the chairlift breaksdown in the cold.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Do like to bring my slippers, nice to be comfy after a day in ski boots. And I always forget a padlock for my skis

I have a checklist. Electronic, obviously. .
The checklist has some structure mostly so I don't take too many layers if I'm going somewhere warmer. I have a separate "go bag" for non-snow stuff which I just have to chuck in. Separately I mentally check that I have all the bits I need, from the board up.
ETA/ ESTA etc are becoming more common and are definitely things to watch.
I'm particularly careful with stuff I can't easily replace, which in my case are bindings and some boot accessories, of which I have two sets packed in different places for that reason.

Lifting back over from La Thuille to La Rosière in 2nd week of January, could have used something there and it didn't even stop. Just very slow and wow was it cold

I bought the family tinfoil blankets that fold into the size of a squashed cigarette pack. Goes in pretty much any pocket.

I always carry one of those. The one time it would have been handy - waiting with an injured friend for a blood wagon which took ages to arrive, and my friend got very cold - I completely forgot I had it. What a muppet.

Forgot my new frying pan that I'd bought in the UK to bring out here, still sitting in a cupboard in the kitchen back in the UK

Lip salve/balm mentioned once already. Not many items I would trade for it if skiing more than a few days.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

We have gear in a family home up a mountain.
It falls out of cupboards when you open doors.
Climbing, MTB DH and enduro, ski and snowboard.
So the mindset is ....don't worry ... we've got stuff.
So.....
Mighty cold Christmas with snow in the Jura, through which we will be passing.
Driving to Dover for the ferry, just as we go down The Big Hill
The Grom and Grommette were maybe 8 and 10.
My partner asks....'...do we have any coats at all in the car?...'
I am in T shirt and jeans.
Er...'..no...'
Luckily we had no glitches on the journey.
Add to list.

Didn't one of our previous Prime Ministers forget his young daughter in a pub and leave her there. TBH I thought that was where your story was leading.

You know it makes sense.

@valais2, through the winter (in Hampshire, not just when we spent them in the Alps) I have a poly bag of warm stuff in the car. An old coat, scarf, hat, gloves, bottle of water, bar of cheap chocolate (it has to be really cheap and nasty stuff or I'll just eat it). And a pair of old comfy, dilapidated, boots, just in case the Day of Judgement arrives on one of the rare days I am wearing smart footwear.
