 Poster: A snowHead
|
Following on from the Daily ski check list thread, it got me thinking.
We are packing for our Son at the moment, he is off for his 4th season. OK we have all the normal stuff covered, skis x2 pairs, poles x 3 pairs, transceiver, shovel probe, airbag, etc etc O and a role of Duck Tape  of course.
BUT what else should he take ??
From previous seasons experience a good first aid kit, full with as many prescription drugs as possibe, pain killers, anti inflamatories, shoulder brace(he has popped both shoulders before.
Can we add to the list, what are we missing?, as many of you know when your stuck in the bubble for the season, its difficult to get stuff or its really expensive

Carte Neige
Decent water bottle which won't split or get crushed (no point in paying hundreds of Euros across the season for bottled water on the hill)
Non-prescription drugs (eg cold remedy, Immodium, etc). Always shocked by how expensive that stuff is in resort pharmacies
Laptop and collection of DVDs to last the season
Only two pairs of skis?

Ok does depend if he is driving out, though from the sounds of things Daddy might well take him:)
Push bike - I take mine and I only go for 6 weeks!
If you crock yourself like I did at least you may be able to get out and do some riding (on the road obvioulsy if they are clear) or good to get back from the bar.
Major shop in the UK, ironic how we use to go to France to do the shopping - this year we took wine & beer to France as well as stacks of every other food & household items

/\ To be fair he has done all his own packing so far, except the first aid kit as it has a supply of drugs which in the past has cost a small fortune to get from the pharmacy in France.
Weathercam, He is driving out but I am not taking him
EvilWeevil, he had to repay the 700 eui and YES was hung out to dry big time.

For some destinations I'd suggest a blow up doll. Not going to happen otherwise.

livetoski, beat me to that - but along the same theme "other fancy dress" items
Oh and Gorilla is spot on with some of the kitchen items - we take all that out - plus 22" flat screen with inbuilt DVD and speaker system - appartment has one but it's tiny & crap - then we buy box sets of things like the Sopranos in the Jan sales which we never have time to watch here at home - but do that in the appt as we don't go out every night!

Depending where he's going this is a stupid post tVoR, some European ski resorts have some of the worlds best drugs already there.

On of our chalet staff got busted in a spot-check at a peage on the coach on the way over a few years ago. He went home on the same coach and without the block of hash he thought was going to fund his season.

Indeed, but let's not forget that this is for someone whose Mummy still packs his bag for him. If he don't take his own, he's gonna be smoking a lot of Oregano and crushed Oxo cubes.....
