Reply:skis that would help !
Reply:I hope this reply isn't too late for you. I would definitely recommend bringing a camera - group ski trips always offer abundant photo ops. Aside from that, be sure you have plenty of cash and outer clothes that will keep you dry - warm too, but especially dry. Also, bring an extra pair of socks to change into for the bus ride home. New skiers always end up with wet socks. If it's a long bus ride, bring an ipod or cd player too.
Reply:base layers- something that can be warm and breathable. Icebreaker are the best but some good running tops or cheaper base layers are fine. Also a thin fleece. You can layer these with your ski jacket so you can take off layers depending on how warm you are.


Ski gloves and sunglasses or goggles,
Reply:Hat, gloves, jacket, sweater, turtle neck, long johns, ski pants (not jeans unless you have W/P over them) ski socks, sun cream (SPF 45+) money, lunch, and a smile for the good time.
Reply:it is all about your layers and how you wear them





Upper Body layers





A base layer: under armor, or thin warm layers


First Mid layer: A thin cotton long sleeve


Second Midlayer: A thicker warmer Longsleve


Outer Layer: A Wind proof water proof jacket





Lower Body layers:

Other Items to have:


A warm hat and goggles


Thick gloves or mittens


Hand warmers and toe warmers.


If skiing get thin very thin socks otherwise you get blisters easily.

Keep Well hydrated and that is all
Reply:You've had some great answers here. I'll add few more things:


1. "Walkie Talkie" (if there's poor or no cell phone reception in the mountains.)


2. Some "Energy bars". It will come in handy when you're hungry.


3. "Hydration pack" or "plastic water bottle". Believe me, you will feel thirsty when you skiing for a few hours in the mountains.


4. Your "first aid boxes or bags".


5. "Tire chains". Check the weather reports and forecast before you go. You may need to put the tire chains on.


6. Your "lift tickets". (If you already have purchased some before you go.)


7. Take some "Trail maps" from the ski resort and bring it with you. You need to check the runs and trails from time to time. You don't want to go Black Diamond by mistake.





Hope this helps. Have fun!
Reply:Congrats on getting out for your first time!! Here's how to dress:





The inner layer (goes over your underwear) is long underwear. Long pants, long shirt. It's best if this layer isn't cotton.





The middle layer is for warmth. You'll want to wear something fleece or wool. Something warm and preferrably not cotton again. Wear as many or as few middle layers as you feel you need depending on weather.





The outer layer is protection from the weather - wind and snow. Pants and jacket.





Wear one pair of good quality non-cotton socks. Some people might say two but that's unnecessary. Boots are built to keep your feet warm and they should fit snugly (so your toes just touch the end of the boot) and two pairs of socks will change the fit and feel.





I usually wear two layers as my middle layer, but will wear more or less depending on the weather. Generally I wear long underwear, fleece pants %26amp; snow pants on my legs and then long undershirt, fleece jacket and snow jacket on top.





Avoid cotton whenever possible. When it gets wet it's heavy and won't keep you warm. "Cotton kills."





Also you'll want good gloves, a hat and probably some goggles. Wear sunscreen also.





Don't carry anything extra in your pockets. You might be falling and it'd suck to break your cell phone / iPod / camera. I just carry a few dollars and some ID with me on the slopes.





Take a change of clothes (sweats!) for the ride home and you should be good to go!
Reply:Warm clothes! Hats, gloves, heavy jackets, heavy snow pants, and also layer your clothes and socks.
