Sorry I spoke! I pack my ski bag and boot bag and thats it. Saves worrying about my suitcase being stolen.
And on the theft issue. Is there not a lot of scaremongering going on here. I have been ski-ing abroad for a number of years and none of the parties I have been with have ever had an item stolen.
Maybe its an English thing?

Sorry, cant agree less. If you have your own boots, you have to take them with you. Otherwise, there is little point in owning any.
Racist.
You could be right. Heard this little exchange after the bus ride to Zinal today. Slightly off topic, but it does show just how easy it is.....
The Scene...
English man goes to rack on the back of the postbus picks up a pair of skis and walks over to English woman waiting with poles....
"Are these your skis dear?"......
She replies.....
"Mine are white and very light".....
It was a white (ish) pair
Maybe they are still there trying to decide, didn't see them on the hill.

I find that an offensive and ignorant allegation. I'm sorry you feel so sensitive and insecure that a light hearted remark affects you so.
If anyone else agrees with Tony on this I would apologise most sincerely for any hurt or distress caused by my innocent remark.
I was merely suggesting that thefts seem to happen more to English people.
