Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: Since this is a resort, your bags will be handled for you, so bring whatever you like
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Layers of clothing allow you adjust for your personal comfort. Footwear is mostly ski boots or some other warm boot.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Everything is available at the resort, I do recommend that you bring your favorite lib balm, and skin moisturizer.
Photo Equipment: Bring an extra set of batteries, the cold weather drains them quickly. It is good to keep them near your body, underneath your clothing.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Skis, SnowBoards, or Snowshoes are the rage in winter, also bring your goggles and helmet if you are going alpine.
Miscellaneous: Don't forget your swimwear for relaxing in the whirlpool after a day of skiing.
