My 2 are now aged 7 & 9 and we have skiied since the youngest was 5. I have always used coats and thermal trousers or sallopettes. As long as their legs are warm as well as their upper body they should be ok. The all in one suits are great I'm sure but a bit of a polava when they need the loo!! Also they use the coats again after we have skiied and next winter. Rosie wears the trousers when ...

The children wear:
Layer 1 Thermal long johns and vest/t-shirt
Layer 2 Joggers and long sleeve t-shirt/polo neck
Layer 3 Fleece
Layer 4 Coat and sallopettes
Also hat, gloves, ski socks and sunglasses. They both have googles but to be honest unless they are getting up to great speeds and it is snowing then they are a bit of a pain.
I'm a cold bird and to be honest I wear much the same as them. You can strip off if you are too hot but it isn't easy getting warm again if cold.
I only take the one coat for them. The hotels are warm and they dry out over night.
When putting on ski boots make sure it is only the socks that you tuck in. I made the mistake the first day we went of tucking in the top of my thermals and the seam rubbed and caused a sore.
For the feet we all wear a thermal type walking boot. Wellies are cold so make sure you get something suitable, it is worth it and again they can wear them when they get home.

re: what clothing for the kids?????
Oh dear!I've just bought new wellies for the kids, as i couldn't find any suitable boots/shoes for them.
was going to put several pairs of thermal socks on them.
Got an all in one suit for the youngest and ski pants, and a thick warm jacket for the older. Taking thermals, vests, hats, gloves scarves etc, so fingers crossed
