I was wondering what types of things folks carry with them, in addition to their EDC gear, when they go skiing? (SDC - Ski Day Carry?)

Certainly, your clothing needs to be able to handle skiing conditions. I also consider, however, that more severe sometimes, are the conditions going up the ski lift, particularly on windy days, and/or if the lift is stopped for any reason. Although I don't usually ski with a hood, it's nice to have one on your parka to pull over your hat or helmet when going up the lift. It would also be helpful if you fell, got hurt, and had to hunker down for a while. Appropriate layering, gloves, neck gaitor, hat, etc.

In addition to my ordinarly EDC kit, I tend to carry a couple extra things when skiing. (I'm assuming we're at an organized downhill ski resort, not wilderness backwoods skiing, that would dictate much more, probably a pack full of stuff.) Typically, I'd have a couple energy bars or a bag of GORP in my parka, along with a couple of hand warmers. I'd have some kind of Chap Stick, or equivalent. Sun glasses and/or goggles. Usually I'll have a small container of water or gatorade in a flat flask canteen in my jacket pocket. I think it holds about 8 oz.

Since I'm usually skiing with a family and maybe a group of families, we all carry FRS radios. I will also have a cell phone with me. No PLB, at least not yet. I'd also have a whistle for getting attention, in case I was off trail, but, that's EDC anyway on my keychain. I don't EDC a compass, but, there is one on the ski parka zipper pull.

My EDC will give me light, fire, signalling... usual stuff. Do you folks take a lot more with you to augment that for skiing?
