Going Skiing! (what to bring?)

Ok, so i'm leaving tuesday morning for my ski trip. Me and a few of my college buddies. I'm just trying to plan on what I need to gather up today for the trip! I know i'm going to forget something but i'm going to try to make sure it is just something small by making a list and letting you guys add to it! So help me out if i'm missing anything...

2. Ipod- bought a jacket with ipod buttons on it
3. Computer for nights in the hotel
4. PSP for long trip there for anyone who gets bored
5. Toiletries
6. Cell Phone
7. Chargers for electronics.
8. Daily clothes to wear.
9. Moniez & Credit Cards
10. Snack Food for trip, AKA Candy
11. Beer and Peppermint Schnapps to warm us up on the mountain top )
12. What am I forgetting? (Besides my camera and my two way radios which i stupidly left in my dorm room)

Lol @ Skiing noobs ;) How long are you going to be gone? When you get up there definitely find someone with a season pass and have him buy you buddy-passes (cost about 50% less) or find scalpers (volunteer ski patrol are often payed with lift tickets) you can save a ton that way. If you are going to be skiing for 5 days or more, it actually would have been cheaper to buy a season pass last summer (approx. $250) lol Have fun!

BTW Get some goggles, sunglasses suck.

i found someone who would sell us tickets for %40, so we are getting each day for $20 instead of the $49 at the ticket counter...

As for the goggles, I will probably do that, i remember from the past that sunglasses tend to fog over and that really sucks...

thanks for the help! I'll check this once more before I leave in the morning (or maybe tonight after I get done drinking)

It shouldn't be too cold, but sunglasses always suck, especially if you fall. Also, they make you look like a tourist (trust me). You can get pretty cheap goggles as www.steepandcheap.com, but it's too late for that now. So I would just check places along the way, and try and stick with Oakleys or Smiths, because if it does get cold, cheap goggles show their true colors.
BTW I think a Monarch season pass is only like $175, maybe less (for future reference)

Some resorts do not allow the ipod on the actual slopes. Apparently it a hazard to all of those around you. Have you ever skiied before. If so, what class skis are you going to get?

I have never heard that before, and I ski at least once a week, I think that policy only stands for those wearing 12 year old University of Texas jackets ;) If you suck at skiing, don't listen to your iPod lol

A/S/L?

I spent 2 years living in Lake Louise Alberta skiing every day. I think I skied a total of 320 over the 2 years. I still work part time as a ski instructor. Unfortunately, after you have a family, the skiing at fun mountains stops!

P.S.
Have fun on the trip.
