Or more precisely, what do I NEED to take up the mountain? It's been a while since i last went skiing so i'm appealing to your charitable advice again! :D

So far I've got -goggles (wear sunglasses usually), hat (buff thing), camera, sun block (not keen on the panda look!), glove liners, a cheeky bar of chocolate and that's just about it.

I don't really want to have to wear a ruc-sack but noticed that some of you do- so what do you take to warrant it? I was thinking about a bbq and some sausages- how cool would that be! :wink:

Have I missed something obvious and am therefore likely to die up there?

You laugh at a BBQ and sausages, well we actually do take sausages and some rolls in our rucksacks. In Finland every so often is a Kota with a blazing fire and a kettle and toasting forks and we warm up, cook our sausages and have hot dogs. Heat up some hot berry juice, get warm and then off we go again.

Depends what you up to if you gonna do a a bit of hiking to get some nice lines you might want to pack ski skins to stop you falling back and some snowshoe bindings, also another good thing to take with you if you have good ones are some sort of comm's e.g walkie talkie

I take: Camelback otherwise I "forget" to drink water (for that read can't be arsed to get the bottle out of husband's rucksack), camera, walkie talkie, ipod, sunblock, lip balm and sunglasses. But I'm a girl so you won't need half of that stuff ;)

Sunglasses, goggles, iPod, wallet, dual sunscreen/lipbalm, gloves, camera, hat & cigarrettes.

All of which have a pre-designated and anatomically conforming pocket to be placed into.

BTW, the Super G from Aspen is a bit lively.
