It is advisable to bring your own warm/waterproof clothing (jacket & trousers) as although this can be hired out from the Ski Hire department during peak times there will be an extremely high demand and there will be no guarantee of availability. You will also need a warm/waterproof pair of gloves, a hat and a pair of goggles to protect you during adverse weather conditions however, the gloves and goggles can be hired from the Ski & Snowboard School office for £5 per item.

Denim jeans are not suitable to wear alone or under waterproof trousers as they do not provide adequate warmth or waterproofing.
