Bobble hat & furry cap
Oakley prescription sunglasses/goggles

Worst-case scenarios are either getting separated and then knocked-out in an accident or separated an lost in a dangerous area and having to spent the night outside.

The mobile doubles with my iPod. Only in a new resort do I take a map even, but I always know which piste I am on (nearest). My watch also has a compass, barometer and altimeter on it which would no doubt be useful hould I get lost or stuck and hd to communicate my location.

Both are in my wallet. On the insurance note, I found out yesterday that I have been wasting my money. I am fuly insured anywhere in the world for health, loss or damage of equipment and 3rd party, I even have accident insurance so I dont have to claim on my medical and lose the rebate. Thinking this was all to good to be true I asked about what would happen should I need a whirlybird ride, oh thats covered up to 10k as well. So I have increased that to 25k and I will never buy ski insurance again.

In all these lists, nobody has mentioned the only thing you really need.
Lift Pass , woolly hat, sunnies, suncream, gloves, wax, (during March), mobile, wallet.

Mobile has the insurance telephone and local Alpinger tel nos loaded.
Wallet contains EHIC.

Mobile is important for texting, in the Gondola, your mates who are at work back in the UK. (That green smilie, cos I can't get it on my firefox)
