Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Goggles - Aldi if they have any left £8.50 duel lens (dont fog). Factor 25 suntan lotion Proper UV 800 sunglasses not the crappy ones on the market. Lipsol or vaseline UV Water bottle - tesco or any cycle shop, I use water bag in a napsack with energy drink in it from powder like rise and shine. Spare gloves for if it is wet. Thick (KNEE High) socks not short or you get blisters. Take blist ease plasters in a small first aid kit. Orange bivvy bag. Swiss army knife with file, incase you get sharp burs on your edges from rocks. Spare laces, you can cut them up to make tabs for your jacket zips, tie up trousers if elastic breaks, or tie a broken leg to a ski or poles for a splint. Spare bobble hat, incase you lose your other. Arctic Buff is handy to cover neck and chin. DONT wear Cotton under gortex, you will die of hypothermia if you get caught on a skilift due to a power cut. Cotton doesn't remove moisture from the skin, if you are sweating on the way down, get on the lift, then end up at -8C for 40mins with sweat soaked cotton under a gortex jacket your body temp will drop because the moisture next to your skin will act like a refridgerant. marino wool and polyester(damart) underwear take the moisture away to the gortex immediately keeping you dry. Helmet? up to you.
