For some perspective, I bought a pair of billy basic goggles in a French resort [admittedly, a few years ago] for 20euros. Not bankbreaking.

Is your bank 24hrs?

Awesome, won't panic about that then

No idea. It's taken me long enough to find the number for the right department. At least I can ring tomorrow.

Thought I'd add my checklist here for anyone else who's not sure what to bring:


Essentials
• Passport
• E-Ticket (check emails)
• Proof of insurance if not bought through SA
• Euros (300-400 approx)

What you need to bring
• Ski trousers/salopettes
• Ski Jacket
• Animal fancy dress
• Pirate fancy dress
• Ski socks – Snow and Rock are doing 3 for 2 on these at the moment or Sports Direct do them fairly cheap
• Ski Goggles and/or Sunglasses
• T-shirt/long sleeve polar neck type top to wear under ski jacket
• Jumpers/hoodies
• Joggers or other comfortable trousers for lounging in
• Sun cream
• UV lip balm/sunblock
• No need for thermals, it’s going to be hot
• Ski Gloves
• Scarf
• Hat
• Warm clothing for the evening
• Grippy shoes
• Pillow case and sheets – Or hire from reception for 15euros
• DVDs for the coach
• Travel plug
• Towel

True - but if they do have one, they need to remember to bring it

[kinkajou]

No idea where my EHIC is :/

[Classical Liberal]

European Health Insurance Card.

Oops!

I ordered a replacement and it came in a couple of days - ordering today might be pushing it

Actually I think I felt more organized about this trip a couple of weeks ago!

Same! Started packing on Monday, got as far as my ski stuff and thought I'll dpi the rest later. I have work tomorrow and on Friday and I haven't even finished shopping. So glad it's a really late meeting time!

is the EHIC essential? I have a national insurance card, never heard of that though :/

although according to my dad, i'm covered under natwest black card family annual cover, he just said take the relevant phone and card numbers

Should be fine (although I would strongly recommend if you can bringing a copy of your policy document or similar in case Ski Alpine want to see it), with my insurance then I don't need to pay any excess with medical related claims if I have an EHIC as it entitles you to cheaper or free healthcare in Europe (the same level that a citizen of the country would get).
