Note:
Bring what you comfortably normally ski with if not already on this list.
Also, if you have any questions as to whether you have too much or too
little, be sure to call or write. For general reference, if you can't
carry everything you will bring, you probably have too much. Clothes can
be purchased in Argentina, though selections and quality are probably
better in the United States for most outdoors items.
