Going against the grain in this thread, I just wanted to say that I like ties, actually. Yes, they are totally pointless, function-wise, but I like 'em, and I think/hope I'm not a stiff.

That being said, I couldn't bring myself to wear a novelty tie, no matter the occasion.

Yes, I agree. But I am such a big skier and it is such a part of my life. Finding the right ski tie was tough since most of them are very corny. But I saw the first run of these on NESM's site in 2006 and rolled the dice. Nice pattern, somewhat tasteful, nice colors, and all for a good cause. But after shipping, these ain't cheap...

Same here. It's business casual where I work...but I sport a tie around this time of year until about May/June.

When I was in high school, (during T. Roosevelt administration) the athletic teams had to wear a tie on game day. Sounds like you are doing the right things. :cool:

Same with when I was in high school..I heard bowties are gonna make a comeback..

As promised, it snowed on Tuesday when I wore the blue ski tie. Well, I am wearing the red ski tie and keeping the fingers crossed that it will snow again today! Ski season is now less than 48 hours away!!!!

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:

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

I am sporting the blue one for the first day of fall and for the upcoming 2010-2011 season!!!!!!!

Glenn--

Last fall they only had the yellow left and were selling them for $20.00 a piece if I recall correctly. Snowmonster said he was able to get his at the Boston Ski Show in 2008. If you are going to the ski show, they might have some.

NESM does have this one, which is not a custom design for them:
