What to have with you
When you're out skiing as a beginner there's a few things you
should have with you. Many people now use a bum bag but a small
rucksack serves the same purpose. Here's a list of some of the
things you should consider having with you on a short day trip -
very different from the list of things you would have with you if
you were skiing in the high mountains, especially off-piste.
Useful things to carry with you:
- Extra wax & cork (assuming you've got waxable skis)
- Warm drink (thermos)
- Cold drink (water bottle)
- Some food (sandwich, chocolate)
- Extra hat & gloves (particularly if you're skiing in thin
ones)
- Sun cream/block & sunglasses
- Whistle (to get someone's attention)
- Spare clothes (especially if you start out skiing with
little on due to weather conditions)
- Map & compass
- Mobile phone (switched off - for emergencies only!)
