lately i noticed that when i fall on a rail, i get markings on them and sometimes little rips, this kinda annoys me cause my pants are a few hundred bucks, any ideas on protecting them from damage

nothing you can really do to prevent it. id suggest either stop falling, or putting oil on them so they slide better

The marks go away after a while. Just rub snow on them, comes off pretty easy for me

little rips are from the edges of your skis. paint comes off with snow.

yeah, just get a nice shell pant and layer, i find they're the strongest. i would use clear hockey tape on areas below ur knee to protect against rips. painted rails are dumb.

Well you could use pants that are old or cheaper, and wash 'em if the paint's that bad. Im assumin its leavin paint on the base of your skis too? cause if its not and leavin it on your pants, then that's some weird shit man.

well, it happend in the pipe, I skiid down to first aid, they almost threw up and told me I had to go to a real hospitol (for some reason I didnt think I needed stitches). I went to the hospitol, and they wouldnt let my friend in with the camera so I had to take it with my phone. so yeah, thats pretty much the cut an hour after it happened.

that nice little gash should be proof enough that R.E.D. rail guards are a jibber's best friend. paint on ur pants means that you try, and u push, which people like. if u dont have it then it just means u either dont do rails, or ur like pro and ur too good to crash lol.

duct tape. u can duct tape the inside so noone sees and be sure to melt it real good with a hair dryer so it will stick longer.
