Funniest Ski Outfits

[Black Phantom]

When I went back country in 2001 I could really tell the benefit of the 1-piece in the powder... I was full of snow, even with the elastics in the waist of my jacket pulled tight.

You should get one for this season for seeded bump slaying and your pow daze.:-o

This one has articulated knees.

Passion for a sport goes beyond knowing the language or having great technique. Being passionate about a sport borders on obsession. Wanting to know more about different aspects of a sport is a starting point. For many of us, skiing is not just an activity we do every now and then during the winter. It's a way of life. Skiing is the reason for winter and, when the snow is gone, we look forward to the next winter. We don't ski because it's cool. We ski because we love it.

Because the general population only skis occasionally, message boards like these were born to feed the passion of skiers and boarders. If you tried to talk about skiing in your office during the summer, you would be looked at as a freak. In here, you find like minded individuals who were probably thinking of the same thing. That's why I like this place.

I have skied with only a few people on this board and they have shared their love of the sport with me. However, there are many more that I have not met but I feel their passion solely through what they have written. I respect their passion for their passion fuels mine. That's what I am talking about.

I've said my piece and I'm dropping this. Time to give the guy more rope. I think you all know where I stand. On to other things I'm passionate about -- like the Red Sox. Someone just wrote a post on Boston.com that's eerily similar to something I said on AZ. Hmmm... At the rate I'm going, I'll have to join the Fight Club!

Skied in corduroy a few times in Jr High , early 80's, they did a nice job of collecting snow.

I had a CB ski jacket that was gray corduroy in the 1980s.

Weren't we all unknowledgable newbies at some point?

Hit the nail on the head. None of us started out killing it on our first run with the best skis and the best attire....ripping down the run like we've done it before.

I'm not a big fan of the whole "Look at that gaper!" terminology. Reminds me too much of epicski; where if you don't have a dozen skis in your quiver, live/make 12 trips out west a year...you're a gaper.

I got back into skiing after a number of years off. I had no idea what the hell a gaper was either until I read about it on the internets. Does that make me less of a skier? Hell, I still sometimes call a "3" a 360...or even a helicopter.

Style is a funny thing.:grin:

I loved that jacket. It was so different from every other ski jacket. It was pretty warm and unless it was raining I did not get wet. CB stuff held up pretty well. My 17 year old son found my old CB down jacket in the closet and wore it all last winter. The thing looks hardly used and I skied in it for many years. I still have some black CB warm-up ski pants with full zips on both legs that I still use.

I am sorry, but that is freaking awesome. I assume he's wearing some nice toasty thermals under that, given how bundled-up everyone else in the photo is.

I thought they were loud when you walked, people must've heard you coming from 50 yards away.
