SKI GEAR
Note: If you are snowboarding or learning to ski expect to spend a lot of time sitting on your
bottom. Therefore your pants must be warm and waterproof.
Ski pants (or warm pants covered by overtrousers) NOT JEANS
Ski jacket or waterproof rain jacket
Waterproof gloves (can be hired on the mountain for an additional $5 - $10 per day)
Woolly hat (an absolute must have)
Scarf
Thick socks
Sunglasses or goggles (a MUST!)
Polyprop top and bottom
Polarfleece
Ear muffs (optional but will make you look cool)
Sunscreen (very important)
FOOD
Sat & Sun breakfast and dinner will be provided. You can choose to buy your lunch on the
mountain however, as it can be very expensive, you may want to bring it with you or at least
bring snacks to help keep the price down. For example:
Muesli bars
Chocolate bars
Fruit
Cans/Bottles of drink
Chippies
Rolls/Sandwiches
WHAT NOT TO BRING
Our accommodation is not particularly secure. The vans will also be unattended with our gear in
them on the Sunday. Therefore, we highly recommend you think carefully about bringing any
items of value – everything is at your risk. Do NOT bring large electronic items (eg ipads).
