(Spark notes at end)Ok sorry to make another thread but im going on a 3 day ski trip this weekend and ive have never been on a ski trip where i have actually stayed over night so im kinda at a loss of what to bring. All ym freinds who im rooming with( who weant on this trip last year) arent being helpful on what to bring. their just like, 'uhh you know just some snacks and stuff, a couple of shirts"

I know this may not be the hardest thing to pack for but i have a bad habbit of over packing so i need to know.

Heres whats going down:

we leave friday morning ( 5:30 am) drive 5 hours to our destination, ski friday, ski saturday then go to down town quebec saturday night( Unfortunatly i cant go clubbing because im to young and with my school but atleast they let us go around where ever and ill probably get into a bar) ski sunday, leave sunday afternoon.

they provide 2 dinners and a breakfast, soooo

how much clothes and food should i bring?

SPARKNOTES: 3day ski trip, im an idiot on packing, how much food/clothes to bring??

As long as your not hiking anywhere with your stuff i would say it would be better to overpack then under pack

toothbrush, toothpaste, soap/shampoo for showering, a towel, a pair of underwear and pair of socks for each day, 1 set of clothes for going out and 1 set for travelling (can use the same clothes for both if need be-hoodie, t shirt, jeans and beanie do the trick in most cases) extra cash, ski gear (obviously, just make sure not to forget stuff like gloves and goggles). Snacks, reading material, music device, camera, sunglasses, swiss army knife, plate or bowl ; fork and spoon, unless you are eating out every night.

flip flops and mesh shorts
seriously, these are a must have for any trip, good for lounging around your room and walking to the pool. you can wash your ski socks in the sink with warm water and shampoo so they dont stink btw haha

when i go on sub 5 day ski trips i just bring a big ski bag and put all my ski gear except boots in it, so skis, boots helmet, etc. then there's always a considerable amount of room so just stuff in your outerwear and like 2 or 3 pairs of pants and shirts and then like a hoody or something. then just bring a small pack and carry your boots with the straps over your pack like racers do. then voila, all you brought was a ski bag and a pack. if you're flying that works the best, otherwise i guess it doesn't matter

to make it easier. its like camping in the winter, plus skis. so bring what you would wear to a hill, just multiply the number u usually bring times the number of days+1/2, depending on how many pranks your friends pull.

bring like :
two or three sets of clothes and some comfortable sleep wear
a couple pairs of ski socks
maybe a bathing suit for your hotel?
  & all your regular ski gear
food wise:
  bread and or bagels are good
  cream cheese,
  peanut butter and jelly
  maybe some sandwitch meat if you think you have a place to keep it cool
  anything easy to make in the microwave
  any other snacky foods that you like to eat

& your ipod
