 Poster: A snowHead

Ryanairs list of items prohibited in hand luggage is here No mention of a skiing boot. They could argue that it is a blunt instrument I suppose but it is hardly in the same category as a rice flail or knuckle duster.

Jakes Daddy, you don't want tube socks anyway, so they can all go 
Good idea to have a cheapo jacket for evenings. I've heard too many tales of lost/nicked/cigarette burnt jackets to be happy risking wearing a decent one out to a bar.
Agree that slippers are a good idea, then you only need one pair of boots for the evenings/travelling in.
I washed 1 x baselayer and 1 x microfleece and they dried overnight, but had another set just in case they didn't (temperamental radiator).
I found those compression bags (the ones you either vacuum or squeeze all the air out of) to be really useful. Cut down on bulk.

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

Suggest you only use a base layer NEVER a tee-shirt under a fleece. It will trap the moisture and you'll feel like a sauna. Same goes for cotton shirts - OK for evening, not for skiing.

Jakes Daddy, one advantage of squashy bags is that they can be crammed under your bed, or into a corner of a cupboard, or something when you arrive. Some rooms on ski trips are VERY small! A second pair of gloves is always a good idea, one might get wet enough not to dry overnight, or you might lose one. I hope you'll report back with a de-brief on briefs.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Seems to be lots of favour for canvas holdalls / ruck sacks / whatever over and about a traditional suitcase - do you not worry about them getting damaged by heavy-handed/light-fingered baggage handlers?

They can still mangle the traditional suitcase, our big one that is used for skiing has lost 2 'feet' over the years. We also use a rolly holdall as it's easy to change from shoes to boots from it depending on snow conditions.
Don't skimp on the changes of skiing clothes that are nicer to wear when fresh. Choose evening clothes, then take half of them. 'Slipper type' footwear is useful, use it to bags your space on a boot dryer when wearing your boots, saves soggy feet when in the boot room. You don't mind so much if someone moves them and looses one, imagine the inconvenience if they did that with your one pair of shoes.

You normally keep them on a leash then? Do they get out and maraud around the chalet causing mayhem?
