Helpful Hints
Clothing:
Nothing ruins a day on the slopes quite like ill-fitting or inappropriate ski wear, especially if it leaves gaps where snow can get in. Shoes - comfortable but snow proof, ski jacket\ski suit is necessary to keep out the cold and snow.
Salopettes or Ski suits are necessary as it is important that legs are kept warm and dry. Do not wear bulky heavy knitwear, it will restrict your movement and you will probably find it too warm. Cotton style polo-neck/sweatshirts are much better under your jacket. Remember two or three thin layers of clothing are much better for skiing rather than one heavy article.
You will need thick wool ski socks as this will give you more protection between the boot and the skin. Waterproof thermal gloves are a must. A wool hat is also essential to keep the head and ears warm as you lose more heat from your head than from any other part of your body. In Norway, at certain times of year, a woolen balaclava to cover the face is recommended.
Bring a pair of decent sun glasses (with plastic frames for safety) as the reflection of midday sun on snow can be very strong and also everyone should pack a sun block cream for the exposed area of their face and lip salve.
Also please remember to bring some comfortable shoes or boots that have a good grip for wearing in the snow whilst not skiing.
