If you are already planning a skiing trip to St. Tropez, you need to pack the right things. If you've never been on a skiing trip before, you might find the items listed below helpful.
The first thing you need to do is find out which equipment is provided at your ski resort. If the answer is not very much, then you will need to pack boots, skis, and poles. But if you are lucky you will be able to hire them there.
Suitable clothing for skiing - this includes thermal underwear to keep you warm, and long-sleeved shirts and turtle-neck sweaters that you can remove when you start to feel hot after skiing for a while. Thin socks are also a good idea, with a slightly thicker pair on top for the beginning of the day. You will also need a ski parka, hat, gloves, and muffler, all of which you will probably remove as the day warms up.
Take sunglasses or goggles to protect your eyes from the glare of the sun and the snow. You'd be surprised how bright everything is when you you're out on the mountain and the sun is out.
Many ski resorts are not just great venues for your favorite sport, but are also high-profile areas for social gathering. Depending on where you are going, keep this in mind when it comes to the clothing that you will wear off the slope. Casual is fine for going to the ski lodge for a drink once you have finished skiing or need a break in the middle. But in the evening, depending on the bars and restaurants that you may visit, you will probably need more formal wear.
