Ultimate Ski/Snowboard Interest thread!!!

I know I'm just busting on you lol

I've taken my wife out a few times a winter. I like to get her out with me because it's my favorite thing in the world... Besides her of course

 

YAY! This thread is back! It only highlights what is to come of this year and the beginning of next.

I am SO excited!!!

 

Then you need to get her to step her game up!

 

Lol, she's def not a skier, but it's fun to get her out. I want to get her a little better so I feel confident sending her down the blues and meeting me at the bottom.

 

Ouch yea that's bad. My gf rides whatever I want to ride.

 

Ski gear question:

I need new ski pants, TNF makes a pair that is not insulated, how many people here rock those and just layer up underneath?

 

I do, I have oakley Gore-Tex and wear base layers. I find it more comfortable and easier for body temp regulation

 

Yeah I am from the east coast and have an older pair of cheap insulated pants. I sweated my ass off this past year in CO. I ditched the insulated jacket as well. TNF has a pair for $100. Im really short so its hard to find a pair that fit.

 

Any Gore-Tex non insulated pant will be great. You can adjust base and mid layers as needed.

Use only synthetic, breathable mid and base layers. The last thing you want to do is sweat.

I have these: http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/men-39-s-nfz-pant.html

 

Get yourself a Promotive hookup and get some good deals!

I'm on east coast as well and ski at the coldest Mt around... Whiteface haha I layer up and I'm the most comfortable that way, both temp and maneuverability

I run TNF non insulated pants. I live in NC and only ski NC and WV. So I go non-insulated that way I can wear them year around. Just adjust base layer. I usually run Columbia omni-heat leggings underneath when it get pretty cold.

 

Anyone ski App Ski Mountain, Sugar Mountain, or Beech Mountain in North Carolina?

 

I get up there sometimes but my domain is mostly Cataloochee.

 

I've used a pair of "uninsulated" powder pants for several seasons (I think they are North Face...), never really had a problem, ..on really cold days i'd have an extra layer... assuming you have a thermal layer (thermal underwear or whatever it's called now) underneath, and as long as moisture from a chairlift seat doesn't bleed through, you should be ok..

 

then this happened...







work sucks a bit more right about now after seeing these
