What do you carry in your pocket when you ski?

There is a simple joy to skiing with your pockets empty (i'm not kidding, you should try it) but sometimes you need to carry your stuff in your pockets.

I will start this off

I always have a wax scraper and a small bar of rub on wax
occasionally i carry my phone and I rarely carry my ipod
I also sometimes carry my spare goggles lenses and wallet

So NS What do you carry in your pockets when you ski

I cpmpletely agree, nothing in your pockets is the way to go.

I do have to carry certain things but, I try to keep it very minimal. I only carry Keys and an Iphone for tunes, and that is it.

The parking lot where I ski normally is close enough to grab my wallet.

Whether or not I have my phone depends if I'm going to be able to use it for anything. Often I'll have no reception. If so, I may leave it in the car.

Whether I have an iPod depends if I have my phone. If I'm carrying my phone, I'll just use that for music. Either way I'll have headphones most of the time.

I'll always have my wallet.

Whether I have my car key depends on whether or not I drove or someone else did, for obvious reasons.

The bag for my goggles is always in there somewhere.

I may have glove liners if I'm not wearing them and I think I might want to at some point in the day.

I may have a food item of some sort, like a bag of trail mix or a granola bar or whatever.

Handwarmers. Always have em. Bought a couple boxes on sale. Generally only use them for my ipod though. If my hands get cold and I throw in the warmers, as soon as I start to shovel something my hands are burning and they go to the ipod.
