Ended up getting another Marker jacket, they seem to fit me pretty good and at a decent price. Got last years Helios model shell.
I noticed the other day that the jacket has an odd pocket on it. It is on the back right side and the pocket goes all the way across the back of the jacket, anyone know what this is for? Just an odd place and if you were to put anything in it it would probably be uncomfortable once you sit down.
Pics?

Will post one later.
Maybe its for when we ride the lift together you can put your arm around me while keeping it warm and dry?

Don't decide before you try!
That's where you pack the parachute. You deploy it at the bottom of your run to help slow you down.

How did I miss this? TwiggyOnhisknees swoops in and scores!!!!!
I have no idea what the f is going on. It might be a little bit of Monica!!!!!!
Just don't deploy the chute in the woods or on the lift and you'll be fine. You could even have it out for the entire run if you're worried about going too fast...

Starting from the right is the side pocket, pit zip, then the zippered pocket that goes across the back of the jacket. Can fit a lot of snacks in it but will crush them on the lift.
I need new pants this year, ripped the shit out of mine last day of the season last year when I fell and the ski popped off and sliced right into the thigh. Luckily it just took out fabric and not my femoral!

Eek! Talk about luck. Good thing you're ok. No bumps or bruises?

I'm super excited for winter. I've mastered snowboarding, and now I'm going to learn to ski. Snowboarding was almost identical to skateboarding, so it came very easy to me. But skiing is a whole other can of worms, I'm ready to open. But I do need some new gear, its been about five years. I'm keeping all of my gloves and goggles, but I need a re-up on ski pants, fleece, and a brand new jacket. I was relieved to find a post about finding good necessities at TJ Maxx, and other discount stores. Who doesn't love a bargain?!

Is the pocket mesh? Maybe a pit zip for your back? I can't imagine any other reason for having a pocket on the back of a jacket, that is bizarre.
Y generation fanny pack apparently :lol:
