Other useful items for ski touring:

Light clothing, thin layers, light colours etc – most people suffer from being too hot!
Silk sleeping bag liner for huts – don’t bring cotton – v heavy
Good idea to have some cash (euros / swiss), and mobile phone for safety.
The main thing is that your bag is not too heavy, there will be a little group gear to share round on top of your personal stuff – which should be as lightweight as possible.
Reading material- for afternoons in huts!

Group kit: 1st aid, tool kit, group shelter, ropes, gps, crevasse kit.
