Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bring COMFORTABLE casual clothes. Girls leave the high heels at home, only will only kill yourself trying to walk around especially if it has snowed recently.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Bring some deep heat rub or spray incase you hurt your muscles on the slopes.

Photo Equipment: A camera is a must, just for the sceanery alone.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Dont bring a ski jacket with an elasticated waistband. Cos when you fall on the slope, the band will ride up and you'll get snow in your navel!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Deep Heat! Muscle pain relief after your first day on the slopes.

Suncream. It may have been snowing and it may have been February, but yours truly here got a very sore, sunburned face at the end of the week. (I'm fine now, thanks)

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: I cannot emphasise enough how important it is to get well-fitted ski boots and skiis. It will hinder your progress in class so much, it's not worth rushing the fitting in the ski-hire store.

Miscellaneous: Piero & Barry modelling this seasons ski-wear in Arinsal's main st. :-)
