Of course renting skis and snowboards is a great option, allowing you to try before you buy and get some advice from qualified ski technicians, find a rental shop near you >>

With all the sunshine of late you really should be able to get some winning skiing shots and the Panasonic Lumix TS3 is a great camera for skiers.
It's both waterproof and shockproof to about 2 metres; freezeproof to -10 degrees C, and dustproof for when it's sitting at home not doing anything. It even does geotagging thanks to its built in GPS and 1080p HD video.

If gadgets are your thing then a pair of Zeal Optics Transcend GPS Goggles will really make you drool. These Robocop inspired goggles feature direct to eye GPS communication and information. That means information like: altitude, speed, temperature, location, distance travelled and time can be easily viewed directly within the goggles.

Following on from this idea, there are rumours of some Android powered ski goggles being developed which will have built in Google maps!

You can find a host of shops in resort that specialise in ski & snowboard gear so why not treat yourself?
