The trend is dying, but the functional aspect of this isn't - I think superfat pow skis are going to stick around, for the people that like them.

Pros stopped wearing tall tees this past season so probably in 1-3 the tall tees will disappear

tall tees make you look like a fucking idiot on the ski slope. Atleast buy a waterproof one if that even exists such a dumbass thing to wear.

Bandana's are ok, hit or miss usually noobs where them to act cool

one peices rock especially on a powder day....though i don't wear mine to often.
and
i love reading ski mags especially powder great articles

another huge trend i noticed which is dying is the younger generation of park rats who can't fucking ski for their life besides the terrain park. Pisses me off when i see 10 year old lapping the park allllll day but make the most horendous looking turns ever

Quoting for emphasis. This shit bugs the hell out of me. Especially when I see kids bomb straight down a hill, way in the backseat, with their hands tucked up to their crotch.

Hahaha, if you think Sean J isn't considered a "pro"...

well, you're wrong.

tall tees aren't out, there's just more variety, and more people wear hoodies than before, because people make them large now.

Not dissing him, but he's not exactly the first name that comes to mind when someone says "pro".

Sincere apologies either way OrangeName.

More importantly, just because he's wearing a tall tee at Hood doesn't mean pros aren't wearing them way less than they used to.

I feel like the baggy pants will die (excluding hardcore followers like B&E) and skiers will follow in boarders footsteps with tight pant and tall hoodies.

To all those people saying that bandanas are going away are stupid because bandanas have been in style ever since skiing started they just have never been huge

i wouldn't say tall tee's are dying i think they're just being used as layering rather than on top over a sweatshirt. Gorilla steeze will never die. I disagree on that one Henrik still shredding with mad gorilla style.
