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.

Along with mobile phone, camera and piste map, a litre of cold water and a couple of mars bars and thats all you need.

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.

Can I ask what kind of skiing you do?

Must admit, take a couple of asprin with me but for a completely different reason.

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.

Caron, have you considered hypnotism?

Rather worryingly Saalbach Hinterglemm stopped updating thier webcams on Friday :shock:
