Im trying to compile a checklist for things to cover when planning a ski /
board holiday I wonder if anyone can add to the list any that I have
forgotten or if there are any links to such on the internet

Accommodation
Yeah, a place to stay is good.

Insurance + E111
Insurance? Doesn't your regular insurance
cover your? WTF is E111?
Travel
Yes, getting there is half the fun.

Transfers
Um, plane transfers?

Lessons
Always a good idea, can double as
area familiarization.

Equipment Hire
I'd bring my own boots and hire skis.

Clothing
Regardless of what others say, coed
naked skiing is not all it's cracked
up to be.

Lift passes
Unless you are heavily into walking uphill.

Travel to from accommodation to slope / Apres ski (if needed)
Public or rented. I'd prefer a public transport
where available.

Currency
Of the local sort, yes.

Catering (if not provided)
Say, are you from the UK? What does "catering"
mean to you? To me it means hiring an outfit to
put on a big meal for something like a wedding.

Apres ski
Beer.

Passports
With particular attention to safekeeping while in
transit and when you are at your destination.

I suppose all this planning is a "good thing" but I
just prefer to have everything close at hand, because
I'm using it several times a week all winter long
except for the passports, anyway. If my holiday is
further away than a ways up the road, I only need to
pack my toothbrush and clean undies, and my passport
if it's away from the US or Canada.
