Some advice on some things you need to do before you go.
1. Make sure you have pre-booked a lift pass with your travel agent.
2. In fact anything you plan to do that can be pre-booked should be. ie. lessons, skis/boards/boots/etc.
3. Take some Levs for arrival. (Suggest £50 worth)
4. Take Sterling to change whilst there. Notes do not need to be new, but they must not be ripped or have any writing on them as these will not be accepted.

5. Take travel plugs, standard 220 volts European 2 pin round.
6. Make sure you have all thermal gear. ie. gloves/socks, plus good eye protection.
7. If you intend staying in touch with others over there whilst skiing, (kids or friends) then think about buying some walkie talkies as they are much cheaper than using mobile phones. (Available on E Bay)
8. You may want to pack a couple of toilet rolls as some hotels only supply poor quality ones.
9. Take some lip salve as the conditions can play havoc with exposed lips.
10. Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months.
Thanks Pete, was wondering what to do re: ££!!
Got the walkie talkies - thats for the tip about the toilet paper, i'l go and pack that now! GOING ON THE 7th!!!!
Cheers!!
Going on the 7th as well. Can't wait. Heard different things about money, some say change over here and some say change over there. Was going to change here but not sure again now.Didn't think of toilet paper got everything else though. Also bit worried about it being only for beginners. Going with group of mates who are beginners, but im quite good skier/skiboarder. Just hope theres enough there for the more advanced skier.
