Gals,

Post your head dressing routine pre-ski. Balaclavas, buffs, hat - helmet or no helmet - hair down, plaits? I always find that the secret is having the perfect amount of hair poking out. And of course not to have gaper gap.

Also I need a new tube - can anyone recommend?

I throw on a yowie, then a beanie, then goggles, and finally my helmet. My hair is a lil too short to peak out currently, so I look like a dude.

I don't know about you guys, but I was kinda disappointed in the traditional Outdoor Tech Yowie. The fabric is super thin on the cheaper ones ... I do suppose it goes with the territory though.

side pony or braid, whatever your style. before i got dreads i liked to add little wispy hairs out the sides. ya know to look gypsy as fuck
buff
smith maze, or pret cynic,
smith I/O fit my face pretty well, although last years model they changed the foam. the year before last years are perfect for a smaller face without getting the I/OS (cause thats not really my jam, just my opinion)
also oakley goggs fit the maze and the cynic really well!

this is just what i wear! hope it helps

1. French braid my hair down to my neck, then leave the rest in a side pony. This minimizes tangles from helmet hair.
2. SUNSCREEN BECAUSE I LIKE NOT HAVING CANCER
3. Music turned on and one ear listening
4. Face tube
5. Beanie (depending on coldness)
6. Helmet
7. Goggles

I always wear a helmet. Too scared/taken too many falls to not wear one. #helmetsarecool watch the video!:

I worked it out.

I have long hair and no bangs. I plait my hair then pull out the hair that falls straight down in front of my ears/closest to my face on both sides. This is the hair that pops out framing my face when I've got a balaclava or tube and beanie on - and you gotta use this bit of hair otherwise you end up with random hair coming out of the bottom of your face tube (and you look like you have a beard and are stupid).

Pop the plait end out of the tube if its long enough and voila! Certified ski babe look accomplished (even though I look kinda dumb in this photo)!
