A small cable lock for peace of mind.
This small light item has enhanced my enjoyment of on piste lunches more than I could have imagined. No more worrying about whether I have the right skis or l
finding mine chucked aside because some asshole wanted my parking space. Also if you are too warm you can ball up your fleece/jacket and wrap/lock it to any handy upright to be retrieved on the way home.

transceiver, probe, shovel, map, spare goggles or sunglasses, bum wipe, tampoons, sense of humour for busy lift lines, garlic breath for crammed cabine, a really bad bit of botty gas for gondola, mars bars (energy gel), knife etc etc and a bit of attitude for that nasty drop off into the welcoming powder

What's this obsession with taking wallets with you - surely all you need is some euros and 1x credit card - if you take you're how wallett with you then you might loose it out your pocket whilst skiing and you'd be totally bolloxed - no names no pack drill but alanm take a bow

bertie bassett, agreed - I know it's a girl thing, but I have a little purse with a clip that I can attach to the inside of my pocket to avoid it falling out.

Very true. The same is also true for everyday life however, and we all use wallets at home, so I'll take my chances

Mmm.... He won't let me forget it!! He's correct though, just take one card and some cash.

Good idea to have name of resort too, I've known some who were unsure whether they were staying in Les Arcs 16 or 1800.
I never carry insurance or EHIC card arround with me, just more to lose.

It's Whisky, not whiskey!!! (if you're talking 18 year old single malt anyway). Although a hip flask of JD would do in a pinch.

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. |
That's a good shout about the specific pockets. I generally leave the major packing to my other half and we take a backpack between us. I always have the essentials on me of course but additional things like the water/extra top, various important paperwork etc we do take in a backpack as we only ever ski together anyway. Maybe its because I get him to carry the backpack that I dont mind us having one
