Skiing and safety equipment
What to bring:
A shell-type jacket and waterproof and windproof trousers, such as Gore-Tex, are best, so you can adjust layers to suit changing temperatures through the day. Your first layer should be breathable - merino wool is particularly good for keeping you warm and dry.
Gauntlet gloves that pull tight around your forearm are good, as they let no snow in. Goggles rather than sunglasses are essential, as is a warm hat. It’s a good idea to carry a spare pair of goggles, so you can swap if you get snow in them.
A pair of simple ear plugs (available at any pharmacy) are a good idea, to protect your ears against helicopter noise.
Bring your own ski boots (ideally well worn in).
What you don’t need to bring:
Fat skis and poles are always available to rent and are usually included in the price, though snowboarders need to bring their own board and boots.
We provide all the safety equipment that you will need, such as avalanche transceivers, shovel and probe and ABS airbags
