Today is the first day of fall. I am marking the occasion by wearing one of the official Trailboss/New England Ski Museum Ski Ties:

I own a red one:

As well as a blue one:

Be sure to get your official ski tie from the HERE at the NESM site.

I don't wear a tie to work, but if I had to, I'd get one.

Admittedly ski ties may be a bit tacky, but these are probably the most tasteful ski ties I have seen....they have some class and are fun. All proceeds help the museum as well...which I have YET to visit

Those are pretty cool. I try to avoid wearing a tie -- day #9 in a row in ignoring my Mon-Thurs business formal dress code that started back the day after Labor Day (I was out the week of Labor Day, so I'm 9 for 9). If I were to wear a tie to work, not sure whether a ski tie would be appropriate though (says the one not wearing a tie at all

).

If I have to wear a tie, I usually wear one of the Jerry Garcia ties. I do however like the ski ties!

Alternately...
* I've been wearing my Steamboat sweatshirt all summer.
* I wore my NASTAR fleece vest one chilly morning last week.
* I put my MRG sticker on my lawnmower last summer.
* My daughter wore her MRG "Ski it if you can" sweatshirt to school last week.

Looks like a nice tie. Can't justify it though. I rarely wear ties, probably less than once a year on average, and I already have a few to choose from.

i have a bunch of suites and a ton of ties from my corporate training days. not that i switched over to testing the back end of our software i can't remember what my suites and ties look like. lots of jeans and polos for me.

i do have a sweet vineyard vines lacrosse tie that i love. that gets busted out more times than not when its needed.

in HS we had to wear ties on game days for basketball. my bud used to wear a tie that was one large pen15. very funny... if you don't know what a pen15 is, use your imagination.

was he awarded with after-school detention and the tie confiscated. I can't believe the administration was naive...

nah, never came to that. this was waaaaaaaaay back in the mid 90s. :lol: things were different then... ;-)

Thanks for the link, TB. Been looking for a skier tie -- to go with my soccer tie. If I'm not mistaken, the skier on the tie is Dick Durrance -- the man on the medal.

You've never been to the NESM? Cross the border into NH, man!

GrilledSteezeSandwich · Sep 22, 2008

People still wear ties...lol..and of course I have a ski tie for when I hit up a funeral or wedding..

If I had to wear a tie, i'd get that one. None of the places I've ever worked have required ties, and at 29 I still don't know how to properly tie a tie, and I don't care to, and i'm proud of that.

Yes, the guy on the blue and cranberry ties (bottom) is Dick Durrance. As to the other skier guy, it may be as well.

And I was thinking of you, Professor, when I put this up. We are going to have to start a ski-tie lawyer club or something....
