A pair of skis strapped to your feet. And a whole lot of mountain in front of you. Admittedly we're biased, but as far as we're concerned, it's the ultimate rush - and the most fun you can have wearing four layers of high performance thermal clothing.

Ski jacket and trousers. OK, so you're going to need a good ski jacket. Oh, and you'll also need trousers or salopettes (dungaree-style trousers). Unless, of course, you fancy chittering your way through the cold, wind and snow.

Both will need a weatherproof outer layer (obviously), and you can choose between insulated or non-insulated varieties. Whatever you decide on, the trick to happiness is to add different layers underneath keeping you comfy and happy.

Goggles, Imagine driving your car at 70mph in the rain without a windscreen. Bracing, isn't it? The same goes for speedy skiing, or taking off when it looks like it could snow or rain. A decent pair of comfy ski goggles will keep you happy. sunglasses, Think about it - you want to be able to see where you're going, and that can be tough with powerful glare from the sun beaming back from the snow. Then there's the health side of things. All those ultraviolet (UV) rays aren't doing your eyes any good - another sensible reason to invest in a pair of proper skiing sunglasses with full UV protection hat, It's sad but true - every skier has hat-hair. That's because every skier knows that around a quarter of our body heat escapes through our heads. Get with the programme. gloves, Ski gloves are another no-brainer if you're going to be skiing on snow. And on a dry ski slope, they keep your hands comfortable - as well as cushioning those occasional tumbles.

Helmet, Kids should always wear a helmet. It keeps them safe and warm, and it keeps you from panicking about their wellbeing. In fact, lots of adults wear helmets these days. Makes sense, if you ask us.

Skis. Long or short. Wide or narrow. Traditional or space-age. The range of skis is as wide as the range of ski fans - so you're sure to find the right skis for you. Renting makes sense to begin with, but once you're hooked it's great to own your own kit. Modern skis and boards are designed to make learning and progress a snap, so good advice is worth a lot.

Bindings. Bindings are the clever things which fix your boots to your skis.

Let your ski shop guide you to the right type - for example, alpine bindings have an automatic release to help keep you safe when you fall a certain way. It's not quite the same as having a big mattress places underneath you, but it makes a difference.

And you don't just buy a set of bindings and walk out of the shop. Oh no. The shop (or rental place) will set them up just for you - depending on your weight, age, skiing ability and skiing style.
