Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Daily ski check list

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Am just working on the information sheets that are given out when people arrive.

As some people (believe it or not) have not skied before I thought, for the 1st time, I'd put a Daily Checklist in the pack. i.e. Stuff you need to take out of your hotel when you set off for the slopes each day.

We're not talking DIY'ers here, we're talking humans. So, no gaffer tape, sandwiches, flask, tool kits, fold away shopping trolley, ect.

So...
Gloves
Sun Cream
Hat
.....

Feel free to fill in the spaces

Note this isn't a holiday packing list as they will already be there, just what to take onto the slopes

As others have said, credit card. ie, more than just a bit of cash for lunch but in case of medical emergency.

If you're reminding them to take their skis, then you probably need to remind them to take their ski boots too... And ski socks.

Wayne, that's getting close to requiring a backpack to carry all that stuff, especially the extra layer and if you add water to the list. How many people ski with a backpack? The minority I think.

Nope, I have seen someone wearing all the gear in a gondola holding their skis and wearing moonboots.

In fact that was such a good suggestion I have changed the website packing list to add it into the Top Tips section
(See the download list at the top of the page) Here

Thanks

What's the jihad against gaffer tape - wraps round the top of your poles and takes up no space?

Whre does everyone put all this stuff? I find if I always put things in the same pocket I'm less likely to forget them.

Here's my checklist:

Upper left jacket pocket - wallet - contains money, ehic, insurance details, credit card, ski-pass.
Upper right jacket pocket - phone (decent one that doubles as a camera) and sunglasses
Lower left jacket pocket - smokes, lighter and mints
Lower right jacket pocket - apartment key.
