Ski holiday, what do I need?

Am going skiing to France in Jan. Have hired the skis, poles and boots. What else do I need to buy??

Ski holiday, what do I need?
You need a skiing jacket (one with a good warm lining and a hood), salopettes (skiing trousers), thermals - to go under your salopettes and something to go under your jumper or whatever, skiing goggles, good sun glasses, special skiing sun cream, lots of layers like jumpers and t-shirts, a little back back to carry all your essentials in, proper gloves or mittens, walking boots (or something similar) for walking about in the snow (for when your not skiing). I think thats about all. Oh actually you'll need some good thick socks. And a tight fitting hat (so that when your skiing it doesnt come off). Have fun. Oh also you could wear a helmet for extra protection.

Reply:Here's the list: You will need





a jacket (with a snow skirt),


scarf (optional)


ski pants or a bib,


goggles,


gloves,


hat,


underwear and


socks





I would also strongly recommend a helmet. You can spend a fortune on this, so I would recommend that for everything but the pants and goggles (which are ski specific), you buy general cold weather attire that you can use for other things- just make sure the jacket has an appropriate shell for skiing and snow skirt.





There are several buying guides on the web. Here's one example of a buying guide:

Hope this helps. Bonne chance et bon voyage!
