I prob had that same CB jacket...but I kept my pins on my bball hat...and used to wear the bball hat skiing...backwards of course...stretch pants, rossi 4Ms... I was so cooool :roll: Wish I still had the jacket for some 80s flashback days in the spring!

Nice!!! Just can't beat the CB jacket and stretch pants. Just need to add a pair of either iski or Vuarnet cateye style sunglasses and it's 80's retro nirvana there! Those 4M's were also awesome 80's with their white and "paint brush strokes" of green and magenta!

Yup, had both the ISKI shades and Vaurnet cat eyes at some point in the 80s! By 90/91 I'd graduated to my Scot Schmidt wanna-be yellow TNF powder suit...I was moving to Squaw Valley, it was the unofficial uniform!

Did you have the matching Schmidt bright white with neon pink and blue trim Soloman Sx91 Equipe rear entry boots or did you just goto the Schmidt in the Raichle Flexon days?? :)

I think it goes with out saying that you weren't skiing on anything less than a 210 back then! ;) :daffy:

I was in a Heierling. Concord..their version of the Salomon SX91...luckily I broke them halfway through the season and got into some Lange XRI Race...the neon blue ones...two shell sizes smaller. Yup, Dynamic VR27 Geant (GS) 210cm...and a pair of 200cm Elan Ultimate Ms for my bump skis. We'd watch blizzard of ahhhs for breakfast then go play at Squaw.

You might be a gaper if everytime you suit up you have to take one last trip to the bathromm before you head out
