Kit list: Whilst Skiing 
     
 •    Ski Jacket – this should be water proof, wind proof and 
      breathable. 
 •    Ski trousers – These should be made of the same material 
      as the jacket. 
 •    Long Johns or thermal underwear – we are skiing in February
      and it will be very cold. 
 •    T-shirts – to go over thermals 
 •    Thin jumpers/fleeces – to wear under jacket and be able to
      take off if it gets too hot.  It is better to have several 
      thin layers. 
 •    Ski socks – these are not cotton, they should not absorb 
      water easily and they need to be knee length (2/3 pairs). 
 •    Warm hat – that covers the ears. 
 •    Ski gloves/mittens (2 pairs) – must be waterproof and 
      breathable (same as the Jacket) also mittens keep fingers 
      warmer. For additional warmth buy them a size too big and 
      wear thin inner gloves inside. 
 •    Scarf and/or Snood – a snood is a tube usually made of 
      fleece material that keeps your neck warm.  It can also be 
      bought up over your nose and mouth when it is really snowing. 
 •    Goggles – absolutely essential and more important than 
      sunglasses, they are useful in all weather conditions.  
      Orange/red tinted lenses are especially good in poor weather. 
 •    Sunglasses – Must be UVA and B filtered.  The sun is much 
      stronger in the mountains and it is reflected at all angles
      by the snow. 
 •    Sun cream/block and lip salve with protection – the sun 
      cream must be of a high factor (25+) whatever your skin tone, 
      because of the intensity of the sun. 
 •    Helmet – compulsory this year.
