The only essentials are your ski gear, money, tickets and passport.
Some things i always bring are suncream, carmex lip balm, a camera, power adaptor and a towel. I guarentee that if your this excited then you will not have forgotton anything. If your like me your imagining every possible scenario and preparing for it. My packing list is hilarious!! Colour coded and unbelievably precise.

I always make a list of clothes working from feet up, then a list of things like toiletries. Then a list of the things like car parking, travel documents etc etc by making a mental "trip" from door to door after forgetting my driving licence a few years ago and only remembering when we landed in Geneva.
My friends were not impressed with having to shell out for a return taxi as well as losing the money we paid for the hire car.

ickabodblue, I will make a packing list. Not something I've done before but I always end up forgetting something, so it seems a very good plan...
Libertine, I'm off to Courmayeur in Italy...

I do something similar, only I pretend I wake up (pyjamas, alarm clock), get washed (more things) go skiing (...
you get the idea

Think all I did was telling the wife "We are going to Switzerland this year".
Mind you this morning I did the same by saying "I am going to Yad Moss" and she forgot to pack my goggle and scarf! That may have something to do I went solo this time.

We're off in four weeks too. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Three valleys this time, cant wait! Getting Uber excited.
Went to pamporovo in Bulgaria to check out a mates property. Not a bad warm up but won't be rushing back.
We've heard nothing but praise for Meribel and the three valleys.
As for a packing list.... the thing i find is that i always take too much. It'll be minimal this time!

I suffer from excitment so im usually packed 3 weeks prior to take-off and i have a packing list drawn up months in advance. I also send several emails to my ski gang giving them info on the resort and anything i have discovered when reading the small print on accomodation and flight. I also am highly bossy when it comes to my ski holidays. I have to book it and organise everything or i'll usually freak out. bit of a control freak really

4 weeks for me too!! Have started randomly chucking stuff on the spare bed that I won't need before I go but want to remember to take but no list yet. Anyone fancy adding their list here by way of reminders?? I have got the obvious stuff in there, plus socket adaptor, hot water bottle, the Euros left over from last time, and that's about it for now
BTW Queen Bodecia, I managed to arrange to pop into Langley with the skis tomorrow morning on my way to my meeting in Warwick. Will be a quick functional stop & then have to get underway as the roads might stilll be iffy where I need to get to.

I definitely won't pack until the day before, but the packing list is getting some consideration...

6 days, till the first, then then 7 weeks till the last.
Seems crazy, but thats another ski year gone!
It must be age related but the year has gone by so fast since the EoSB 08

I'd like to say i'm packed for next week but that's far from the truth. I've never been so unprepared.

I keep saying I'm determined to do two ski trips next season but it's reliant on so many things; keeping my job, saving up two grand (can't imagine how), only get three weeks annual leave so it means I can only use one week between April and December, although I do get 5 additional days to be taken separately. It all seems a bit of a tall order...
