Thank you to everyone who has posted a response! There was nothing there that was too surprising but really helps as I'm starting to pack!
I just hope that all the organising & money is worth it!!

Thanks again, I'm very excited now!

Hi,

I am off to Val D'isere for my first ever ski holiday on Saturday with my boyfriend & his friends (none of which are beginners!)

I have had lessons, level 1 - 4 here in a snowdome and I feel confident I think! And I have lessons booked for when I arrive.

I also have lots of clothing & after reading alot of the messages on here there are some things that I will now take that I hadn't thought about E.G blister plasters, energy sweets & tissues!

I have seen recent pictures in Val and it looks to be thick snow, what do you wear on your feet in the evenings going to bars/pubs? I am planning on taking Timberland boots & jeans but should I take my beloved UGG boots? Do people dress down/more casual in the evenings on a ski holiday? The temperatures are varying from -3 to -12. I cannot see how I am going to keep within my baggage allowance!

I think I am all set with my ski clothing (plenty of layers as I feel the cold, socks & hats etc) but is there anything that I should take that I may not have thought of?

Thanks!
