Ski stuff help please

[turquoise]

I know nothing about skiing and am trying to buy stuff for ds's school trip on the web.

Should I buy jacket, trousers etc larger than him? Because of all the fleeces and thermals underneath?

Also are the fancy ski socks with padding etc vital?

I could phone the school and ask but they already think I'm a halfwit.

Hellooo !!! Charlotte was Fab thank you ! DD has improved hugely and Charlotte even took her up to do a green run - which I thought was pretty cool at just 6 !

Charlotte was incredibly patient with me - I was a squealing quivering wreck and by the end of the week she had me doing drag lifts and traversing down the virtually flat nursery slope on my own - unfortunately I don't think it's me - so I think I will probably retire now !

Charlotte was great - was it you who recommended her - I can't find the thread now - Thank you if it was !!!

yoohoo scatterbrain

Helooooo foxtrot !!! Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up !!! Did you have a good time ?

DH wants to go to Whistler next year - says there will be more for me to do !!! Apart from looking after dd and carrying her ski-stuff around for her !!!

all this ski talk got me all again

sorry aDad, not sneaked in a sneaky couple of days yet?
I had a great time, by Friday lunchtime i could hardly move for being knackered! I'm sure whistler will be lovely, plenty of spas and the like. Did you brave the open air pool in Les2Alpes? Surreal!

no foxtrot. I stand by my decision to not go this year.

Anyway I'm glad you all had fun!

well, there's not much snow anyway

thanks!

North america has been the place this year hasn't it. I think whistler and the like have had about 3 metres of snow, and temperatures around zero.

Although it's snowed in a lot of europe in the last 2 or 3 days now.

This was the cheapest thermals I could find british thermals . £10 a set for my boys but your ds might need adult - still only £14 I think.

Where are you - the outlet place at Braintree has some good sales on ski stuff at the moment.

He may get the balaclava under the helmet - but might be a bit hot, but if it works as a neck thing you have best of both really.

Not sure whereabouts you are but Decathlon does good quality budget stuff too, if there is a local one.

aldi have fab 2 piece ski suits in at minute i got age 5 one for £14.99!

if you need adult size Tchibo thermals are excellent value - £7!

Thank you very much for all these.
