number one bit of kit

Good pair of gloves!!

my hands really feel the cold quite badly!!

my lancome powder puff AND my Reusch ski mittens, which are shot to pieces. Does anyone know where i can buy these FAB gloves (minus 15 inners, fingers, and a leather mitten outside). I bought mine for about (at the time) £35 from the skischool in Niederau in 1990/91 and they've never been able to buy them in since. L.

There it is again the N word, it must be one hell of a resort the amount of mentions it gets. :lol:

I have been sorting out cupboards and wardrobes sorting out what ski stuff we still need, the main things for us will be base layers, thermals, silks etc.
I have found all our rash vests, you know the neoprene tops for under your wet suit.
Would these be suitable for a base layer or is this just not right. I know they keep you warm, they dry very quick but may-be they are not breathable, I dont know.

I didn't realise Marker bindings ran an 18-30din (not holiday)... I must have them.

In a pinch. I find rashguard material feels cold next to the skin in winter. It pulls on my hairy legs (I know that's not a problem for you Rose). I don't mind it in a water sport situation, but is not comfortable for me as part of winter layer insulation.

I don't think so, you could try Aldi though. I think a lot of stuff is European wide and the one here's been doing some really rather good thermals.
