Useful Tips • Bring a packed lunch and some snacks for the coach; your first meal will be dinner at the hotel on Saturday • Bring a pillow for the coach journey (or a pillow case and use your coat – saves space in your luggage too!) • It is a good idea to bring a selection of your own CD’s/DVD’s/MP3’s • Pack your belongings in a soft bag or holdall to make packing the coach easier • Pack a pair of ski socks in your hand luggage ready for the ski fit as you arrive
When you arrive • Your Resort Manager will meet you at your hotel and help you get settled into your rooms • Time to go to the ski hire shop and collect your equipment!
