If your trousers are very thin / poorly lined I'd recommend putting a pair of tracksuit bottoms or pyjamas bottoms underneath (unless you like ugly long johns ;) ) You can hire your boots and skis when you get there. Otherwise just all the usual stuff you would bring on holiday to a cold location. I recommend borrowing the ski clothes, gloves and goggles if this is your first time going, see if you like it before you fork out lots of cash! Essentials:
Snow-proof jacket and trousers / suit
