That going out with the better skiers brings my skiing on. So to stop worrying about holding them up and get on with it.

A rucksack is a bonus rather than a hindrance and a well designed one didn't have me stuck to a lift as I feared.

I still rather think A rucksack whilst skiing is a hinderance although I did meet some one recently who carried their slippers in their rucksack :shock:

Mine is rather small. Surprisingly flat to my back and has a lovely lime green flash. With a lack of strappy bits. Obviously I went for technical details and not the pretty colour ;-)

It's made my pockets much easier to manage.

Anything I don't need to hand, in my pockets.

Water, extra tissues, camera, spare map, extra layers and croissants. Due to the croissants I left the slippers out. Pipe's ok as long as it's in a grip seal bag. I hate bits of baccy at the bottom of my bag.

The only bits I really want are the camera, water and extra layers. The rest is there cos I've got space now.

Bottle of water, chocolate for snacks, spare hat/gloves, sometimes packedlunch depending on our plans for the day and lastly wet wipes and tissues - for those awkward moments in mountain loos!!

Seen a few ski teachers with a pair of Crocs in their packs. Great if you have a yomp to the lift, saves the boot soles.

Wickers, we did this not so long ago, have you forgotten )
