Have a great time skiing, but be aware, you will appreciate the NHS if you need to use the "Emergency" service !!re: Emergency treatment

I agree that they do have restricted access to many drugs that are freely available back home and you are right to make people aware of this, but everyone should stick to the golden rules of basic self-care when venturing forth on any activity holiday that holds risks.
On a skiing holiday that means ..... be dressed accordingly, and don't ski alone, or beyond your capabilities.
