Thanks everyone for all the help, Ive quickly popped into Millets, (Yes I know some of you will shack your heads at the shame) and purchased a snood/buff/headover/neckgaiter thing. Already on the case with the sunglasses just fished out the pair I use for cycling (not metal). Just got to buy the wheelbarrow for all the euro's.

Thanks again everyone

P.S just checked out the Les Menuires webcam, it looks great.....Im so excited!

PPS can anyone just confirm that jeans and trainers are all right for walking around in?

Hi all,
Just found this forum, (wish I found it 3 weeks earlier!)
I'm 36 and finally off to learn to ski for the frst time on Saturday at Les menuires. I've got some Ski Pants, googles, gloves, North face Plan B jacket (Is this any good?) Some HH base layers, hat scarf etc, Im taking some jumpers and my timberland boots for when im not learning. Is there anything Ive forgot to get?
Some shops seem intent on trying to sell me lined cargo style trousers? do I really need these for non ski days?

Can anyone give me some recommendations, or have i got most things covered

many thanks
from a very nervous beginner
