| Dear Parents |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Modern
skis, ski poles and ski boots are all included in the holiday package. Lake Tahoe can be cold at this time of year
and students require plenty of layers of warm clothes. Many thin layers is better than fewer
thicker ones. I tend to wear a thin,
thermal top with tracksuit bottoms. A
second layer then comprises of a thin woollen jumper, fibre-pile jacket. Ski salopettes and ski jacket over the
top. |
|
| While
it is possible to hire ski clothing, TK Maxx, Decathlon in
Stockport and other discount retailers often enable
the purchase outright of suitable clothing for a similar price. I have attempted to offer some advice below
of what to wear. If you have any
questions please do not hesitate to contact me. |

This can be with or without a
hood. Some jackets are insulated but
summer walking jackets are fine provided enough layers are worn underneath. Approximate price £35.00-£70.00 |

Sufficient clothes for
the journey, time in hotel and around the resort. Two pairs of trainers are sufficient and
will dry if they get wet in the snow.
(Moon/snow boots are NOT
required). Suitcases / Luggage must

onto public transport. (Maximum Weight 16Kg) |
