re: what 2 wear on slopes?

Hi been to Pamps two years running so no expert but....
take thermal underwear (long johns and vest) in case of cold white out days. There are not many of these so use a layering system - initial layer, fleece top then your jacket and salopettes. I would take two pairs of ski trousers in case you get dirty/muddy. Sunglasses are a must - preferably not glass in case of falls! Pamps is quite a sunny resort we were able to sit out and have lunch 3 days.Warm gloves with grips for the pull lifts ...
