Make sure you take plenty of warm stuff! Loads of warm jumpers, make sure you have ski trousers, skiing glasses, warm shoes, thermals, big socks! Also remember to pack suncream the sun relfects of the snow, giving a bigger risk to sun burn, and plenty of moisturiser! Everything else is just basics like cosmetics etc. Hope this helps :)

Assuming u plan on renting skis, boots, & poles (and a helmet if available), here is a list of helpful items:

1. hat
2. gloves. Even better, mittens. They keep u warmer.
3. goggles, or at least high quality sunglasses.
4. if u r going to a place that is at high altitude (Colorado or Utah), pack aspirin. Some people get headaches if they r not used to the altitude.
5. long johns (top & bottom)
6. ski pants
7. jacket
8. some type of pant that u can wear under ur ski pants. Stay away from jeans (you can wear them in the lodge, but not recommended for skiing). l wear a quick drying, sweat wicking, hiking pant when l ski (under my ski pants). They r loose fitting.you want something that u can flex in. Heck, even pajama pants might work.but if they r cotton, they will absorb the sweat, & u get cold & clammy.
9. several types of tops to wear under ur jacket. l would recommend having on hand a nice long sleeve turtleneck, & maybe a fleece jacket or pullover.
10. a neck gator (if it might be cold).
11. sun block & lip balm/chapstick (get the stuff that acts as a sun block too for best protection).
12. a quality, athletic sock. This sock should be thin. People wear thick socks, or two or three pairs of socks, end up cutting off the circulation to their feet. The sock should be able to go at least mid shin on ur leg. My ski socks go almost to my knee.
13. Lots of $$. You will need to pay for all ur stuff, & make sure u have money for lessons if u have never skied before. Get those lessons the first morning, so u can enjoy yourself safely!

14. Have fun!!

(hopefully l remembered everything). If l didn't, l am sure someone else will fill in the gaps.
