Went to Apen Snowmass for the first time yesterday, and I have to say there were very few stereotypes that were quelched. If I had a dollar for every piece of bogner apparel I saw, well at a minimum my lift ticket would've been free.

I will say though, a lot of the bogner skiers were pretty good, not gapers like they are made out to be. I spoke with one of these bognerites on a lift who told me he'd only been skiing for 4 years, but he skied 3 weeks a year including a week worth of private lessons at aspen each year :eek:. I asked what he did which he told me he was an anesthesiologist.

Did I mention that there weren't any stereotypes defused?




(Not complaining though, as there as still 3 feet of powder left over in spots from the storm last week :) )

The one thing about Bogner outfits that people tend to forget, is that while there is a certain stereotype of person who wears it and at what resorts is often scene on a regular basis, if you actually do a little research into the materials they use and look at where they put pockets, etc, it's really techy stuff. (Which given the stereotype that most Bogner wearing skiers/riders {and yes I saw a snowboarder wearing Bogner in line for the Gondola at Stratton when my daughter had a race there a few weeks ago!} don't hit the hill in weather conditions where those techy fabrics excel! :lol: )
