Last time I checked having amazing ski abilities is not a requirement for wearing a certain type of clothings. I could be wrong though, lemme know

Why do you care what other people wear or how good they are or any relationship between the two?

i just dress like a skier. moderatly baggy pants, siver ten4 coat, bandana (for a neck gaiter, not to be gansta), giro nine9 and a frames. im not that great but i dont suck either.  i think skiers that are good can pull off a gansta look but if you suck you just look like a retard.

this is true, but when you ride up with a kid on a lift, and the two of you start talking and he is dressed to kill the park, and he is like oh yeah i rip this place apart all the time, blah blah bragging, then you see that kid ski and you decide it is best to ski away because you dont want to talk to ski patroll later and try to expalin how that kid did a face smash to rail

Fair enough, in that case I probably look a lot better than I actually am, but that's only because I get a bunch of really dope free outerwear. I'm not saying I suck in the park, I just won't be throwing switch 10's anytime soon yaaaaaaaa know

it doesnt really matter how ya dress. even if kids suck and they got a sweet ghetto setup it at least gives em a little cred.  almost everyone at PC dresses gangster. look at 4bi9, tanner, and millions more. just respect. its all good.

well, i normally wear snow pants, and i think i find enough powder to warrant that. and i usually wear a jacket, and it's normally cold enough out for a jacket to be necessary. most the time i have goggles and a bandana or ski mask, and i think i go fast enough that protection from the wind is needed. i also wear gloves, and as my hands occasionally come into contact with cold stuff or sharp edges i feel these are also justified.
does that satisfy your ability to dress criteria?? because i don't want to overstep any boundaries here.

dumbest thread i've ever seen. Who gives a shit what you wear compared to how good you are? so if your not good in the park you HAVE to wear a gaper ten sizes too small? and as you progress your clothes should get larger and brighter too?  is that what your sayin? you have to earn the right to wear certain things...ridic

Honestly tho, thank god for those people, the companies they support by buying that stuff take that profit and make cool shit for the rest of us.

And by rest of us, I exclude myself, as my best trick on skis is eating shit.

im not sure waht you mean because i see people with baggy 3XL shit killing the park, and i also see kids wearing skin tight emo pants and a sweater and scarf killing the park.  so basically if you wear anything you can kill the park

I like to dress with style outside of skiing, so why change that on the hill? Look good, feel good, ski good. That's my theory.

doesn't really matter to me. yea its funny to go, "omg steve stepp!!!" everytime you see that ronin outfit, but i think its super sick to see someone in like average clothes, ski by and just kill it.  i am not super loud and don't dress super baggy, but like i said, your skiing should do the do talking.

that is the most retarted thing i have ever heard...so ur saying in order to wear sick clothes that you like you have to be good enough?...i happen to wear oakley pants and jacket from last year and yes they are kinda bright they are the harvest gold color but i got a great deal and i love them...i also am def not the best one out there but im not terrible i can hold my own in the park and ski better than most people i come across on the mountain...bottom like shut up you noob and quit worrying about what other people wear.

who are u to say if someone needs to have a higher level of skill to dress a certain way. especially if they worked hard for what they have and paid for it all themselves. i mean i dont dress like a thug really, but i have pretty decent equipment and not a very high level of skill, but i worked hard for what i have, i put all the money i worked for this summer into my skiing, so fuck you if u dont think i deserve my shit.

ok let me inform u. heres a great example. there is a really rich kid at my school k hes realllllyyyyy loaded (i live in whistler)  and his parents buy him  anything he wants like his  $600  holdem snowpants. problem is he cant ride for shit  like he cant even 3 or slide a rail but he looks good right. so what are u going to think of him when u see him up the mountain he looks like a total poser. so in my opinion u should have to earn your gear or else people are going to look at u and say what a little rich shit

You mentioned bragging, something you didnt do in your inital post. If a kid is all styled out in his gear and talks shit and then totally blows its gay. But if he has that shit and doesnt brag i see no problem and go "wow that kids lucky". see what i mean?

So I don't really see how that kid should bother you.  So what if he gets tons of nice gear?  Mabey you should try to talk to him, he could be a nice kid who just has nice stuff.  I don't understand your whole " u should have to earn your gear" mentality.  Mabey instead of calling him out and saying he's a poser, you should give him encouragement and help him out with his skiing.

Heh, i probably wear more rediculus outerwear than i should.  I'm not that great, but i like cool clothing so i bought some.  I mean, i'm not terrible but i'm not good either.  So i don't think it really matters, just wear what you want.

Well I just think if I see someone in a full suit that costs 500 dollars, someone with this year’s newest skis and boots, and 100+ dollar goggles I expect them to be good because they are willing to spend that kind of money on a sport (unless there sponsored then they are def good). This makes me think that skiing isnt just a hobby for them. But you don’t have to be pro to wear nice clothing, people just want to look nice, and that’s def fine, but people will always assume you are good if you have sick clothing, at least that’s how I view it.
