(No, it doesn't matter that we're in a car.) OTOH, a popular rule is "take half as much stuff and twice as much money as you think you'll need." There's also a rule that says "better to have and not need than need and not have". That's why my handbag weighs 6 pounds before I add the CP800. Every once in a while I try to eliminate stuff, but everything I have in there is essential. Doesn't every woman carry 3 pocketknives and a fake leatherman? Real women have a real man who carries a real leatherman in a belt-loop scabbard. I figure it's a fair trade if I carry them and he uses them. For some reason, I amd reminded of when Hank Hill got out his miniature belt-loop can of WD-40 to loosen the cap on his full-size can of WD-40. Good one. I have a miniature real leatherman and a tiny Swiss Army knife in my butt-bag, along with a smallish-but-not-SMALL Buck knife. And a lipstick, of course. -- Cheers, Bev ------------------------------------------------ There are 10 types of geek in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't. |

Checklist
You can add the following aswell:
- Most importantly - start conditioning/exercising a few weeks to condition the "boarding muscles" so you don't strain/break anything on the first outing - your own fitting helmet, especially if you'll be park riding - ass-pad if you're prone to dumping on your butt - comfortable goggles or sunglasses - camera, film/memory cards, batteries - small tool kit for adjusting bindings, etc... - Hydration pack - You get real thirsty in that cold dry air - FRS radios - keep in contact with friends/family - sunblock if you're prone to burning - neoprene face/breath guard for those real frosty days - Quality Clothing: jacket, pants, gloves, hats, neckwarmers, knee/elbow/wrist guards, etc... or pick them up at the skishop for $$$ - if you're beginner - rent the board/boots rather than travelling with them. This way, you'll also get to try out different brands and systems before you buy your own. For advanced riders, take your own, my boots fit like a glove and are soooo comfortable. - Check into your travel package - lot of places have a ski&stay package that includes the lift tickets aswell and cheaper in the long run. Man, I cant wait till the first snowfall here (Ontario, Canada). Wonder how many of us go into snow-withdrawel during the summer months. Luckily I discovered kitesurfing/boarding. Will be kitesnowboarding this winter for sure! Cheers. "Frazer Mountford" wrote in message ...
