We’ve looked at the types of clothing you should take with you as essentials for a trip to the slopes of Meribel. Now we’ll take a look at the essential equipment; the things that will make all the difference to your success with the skis.

Eye Protection – Those harmful rays are more potent the higher up you get, so make sure you purchase good quality goggles and sunglasses to protect your eyes.

Specific Ski Equipment – If it’s your first trip, rent your equipment to figure out whether it’s something you want to spend your money on in future. If it is figure out whether you want to ski or snowboard and speak to specialists for advice on specification to fit your needs.

Helmet – Whether rented or bought, a helmet is an absolute priority for your time at a ski resort. Even the most experienced wear helmets and it does make the difference between life and death. Be warned. It can also look cool and protect from the elements.

Protective Gear – Take heed of the warnings and buy some padding to wear. Especially for snowboarders, padding around the knees, joints and bum will make a huge difference as you land on your bottom time and again!
