Ski gloves are fine AS LONG AS they are the type that keep your hands dry if they get wet. I think most ski gloves are leather oor waterproof arent they. Obviously a question from a non skier. Always wear a glove liner underneath so you can get your gloves on and off easily.
I have asked that dress question SO many times and never get a definite answer. Let me put it this way. Last time the ONLY time it was not 100% casual was the welcome aboard. I saw dinner jackets and I saw open neck golf shirts. If you WANT to bring a jacket this is the night you would wear it. If not then you wont need one. Probably not bringing one for Ken. If he wants one it will be with a silk tee underneath - not a white shirt and tie. I keep hoping that the tickets "when they come" will have definite directions on this issue.
They have pills at reception. I did not need them last time.
