there is no getting the stink out. its almost as bad spring boot smell. although the new agis liners are no where as bad as my old boots.


And where might you be sticking those hands of yours before you put them in your gloves?? ;) :eek:

I never ski without gloves, or without long sleeves and full pants. It isn't snow... It is frozen ice crystals. :-o

I don't fall a lot, but gravity is generally in effect. :spread:

The other day, I realized that it was colder than when I was skiing, but I was now in a t-shirt and shorts. I almost never fall... when hiking. :razz:

Gloves always - this year I started wearing x-c ski gloves - worked well.

always pants and I'll go with a t-shirt and some sort of shell. always a helmet and sun screen starts about March 20th

protects you from snow and sun!

I usually like to wear gloves, just in case I fall I don't want to get cut up or anything. I have gone gloveless on occasion though.

I too always wear gloves. In the spring, I breakout my old motocross gloves. Vented on the grip side, and padded on the knuckle-side. Cheap ice-rash insurance!
