i think 95% of this website is kids who think if you dont have the right skis, the right gear, the right clothes what ever else you will look bad while skiing. i say fuck it. just ski to ski. wear what you want to wear. not wear what looks cool becuase you dont want to made fun of by other guys on what type of clothes you have on. ski on what skis you want to have. not the skis that everyone say you got to have cause they are so cool, fuck that shit. just get skis that you like. not what people say are cool. before i go on and go i will end it hear with this message; just ski to have fun, dont try to impress everyone in the park or where ever. Just ski

this is a gay thread, who would ski to be cool? we all do it to have fun. its just like any thing else, people always want to think they look better and make you feel worse about your self. did you need to post to know that?

i personally like to have nice outerwear and stuff just cuz thats what im comfortable in, not because 10 other kids have them or because someone will make fun of me if i dont. i ski for fun 100% what else is there too it? all the kids on this site don't wake up every possible morning to ski and bust their asses for a sport they kind of like.

if you were in it to be cool, you would be on a snowboard.

I'd rather be a snowboarder thinking I was cool, then a skiier that dresses like a boarder and rides like one.

whats so sick about skiing is that you can create your own image, like look at the dudes from ninthward, theres nothing set in stone like there is for boarding so just make your own style because those who do get more respect than those who dress up like every other boarder you see

skiers have zero to no style compared to most snowboarders. im not talking 'shit, he didnt move a muscle' style, i mean clothes and what not.

wow, i cant believe all the stupid replies in this thread...half the ppl who replied didn't take the time to properly read the post, so wat i suggest doing is actually reading wat he said and not wat u think he said, becuz wat he said makes lots of sense and is very much true

I totally agree with this thread. I saw a dude this weekend wearing an old beat up north face, duct tape on his pants and riding the old yellow Rossi 7X's, (if any of you kids are old enough to know what those are) and this dude was skiing with more power and style than I even see in movies. This cat was up there skiing not to be seen, but skiing totally for himself and I respect that 110%

please, people wouldn't ski if they weren't doing it for fun. and yes people try to look cool in the park, but thats their deal. Why don't you just worry about yourself and not what everyone else is doing.

and i like to buy good looking ski clothes, shott me

THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN TRYING TO LOOK GOOD AND SKIING FOR FUN

^Very true statements. But this site has become a trend whore factory. New Oakley this, new Armada that. Kids are going to buy new skis just because they are the cool new thing to have, without ever demoing them, or even knowing how they hold up.

^ your wrong..if you ski to have fun and ski hard in park your going to ruin your skis...trust me
i used these skis for a month and a half...sometimes you do need new skis every year depending on how hard you use them...and most people wouldnt ski if they werent having fun

I think even the kids that ski to be cool still have tons of fun, because it's skiing.

Not true. I know alot of people that don't ski to have fun. I know a kid who has been in alot of the magazines last year, and he's a descent skier.. But he let it get to his head.

He only skis if there is money involved. When he skis he wants to make sure that you know how cool he is, and that you saw the last trick he did.

He doesn't do it for the love of the sport and the fun of it.
