Do you wear your ski pants in the Car?

[BMac]

I'll always wear my ski pants but never my ski socks. I never get swamp ass but I gotta avoid swamp feet.

+1. Changing socks is a must right before and after skiing.

 

[Anklebiter]

Yes

Most of the time, yes. I usually change into sweat pants on the way home.

 

[Shock]

My ski pants are way more comfortable than my jeans. I wear them on the way up and back, no matter how obnoxiously bright blue they are.

 

[Smellytele]

local hill or less than 20 minutes pants are on at house. As are the kids' boots. Any further away I ride in my long johns

 

[Geoff]

I boot up in the condo.

On a road trip solo, I usually multitask for the last 15 minutes of the drive so I hit the parking lot ready to go except for ski boots.

yup

never wear my ski socks on the way to the hill.

I wear ski pants the whole day, from leaving my house to returning to it. I don't care about "fashion", I'm not likely to forget them and have to wear texas gortex, and it enables me to have a beer and relax when we get there and get acclimated to the cold outside, while I wait for the fashionistas in my group to change in the disease hut.

So you 'ski' in jeans?

Wha? When are you getting there?

 

[BenedictGomez]

If I'm staying <= one hour from the hill, then yes I wear my pants in the car. If it's a 3 hour trip to the Catskills, hell no.

 

[jaja111]

Wha? When are you getting there?

4pm usually. I like a beer to end the workday and begin a ski night. I'm not gonna lie and say I've never had a beer for breakfast at the hill too.

 

[Warp Daddy]

skiing my home hill 75 miles away yes , if we're going on our extended trips for several days to Tremblant or Gore or elsewhere no

 

[Brewbeer]

I wear a poly pro base layer and a pair of shorts for the car trip. Change socks and pull on ski pants (and boots) in the car in the parking lot. Schelping a bunch of stuff to change in a hot crowded lodge is unkind.

 

[jimmywilson69]

I live 10 miles from my local hill. I absolutely wear ski pants. I tried driving in ski boots, and it obviously didn't go so well. My son is fully geared up except for jacket and gloves.

I can be walking to the lift within 5 minutes once I park.

 

[Riverskier]

Always wear ski pants in the car. My legs don't tend to get hot in the car or cold on the mountain.

 

[billski]

Nobody will car pool with me when I'm not wearing pants. :roll:

 

[VR17]

Always wear ski pants on the way to a ski area if the drive is one hour or less, never wear ski socks, put them on in the lodge. Used to live near a small local hill that was 10 minutes away, wore my Alpine boots for the drive but it was a little tricky with a Tacoma 5 speed but managable. Could be on the lift within 2 minutes of parking. Always change into jeans for the ride home/ not a big deal about getting into the house fast for dinner.

I just wear all my snowboarding gear on the way up and down. Same pants, same socks, same everything. I did once drive for a short distance in my snowboard boots too.

I absolutely hate waiting 30 minutes for the idiot who insists on changing completely in the lodge. What a nightmare.
