Baggy, handmade pants hot take

CrunnchyPissFartbig ups to the little guys, fuck off to the big guys, we bringing back local economy 2022

I rly want some Lizard pants but they are expensive for me atm so $20 XXL track pants on Poshmark gotta do the trick for a while. maybe next szn

hi_vis360I definitely think lizard stuff pants are worth it after this season. They are made out of a stiff, durable material, and are baggy but not parachute pants

Jemswhere’s the hot take???

asparagusidk ask the guys whining about seeing too many henrik pants

tanner.harmsI need me some baggy @drinksutter IKEA pants

DensecloudsI see some straight up circus shit up at brighton bro im talkin clown pants

asparagusI’ve started to see some hate on the baggy pants trend, especially the $250 custom ones sewed by unknown skier kids. Stuff like Lids4domes, Lizard stuff, Harlaut Apparel and capeesh (last 2 are a little different).

While trends DO get played out, I think this is one of the best trends to hit skiing in years. Small, skier owned brands are exactly what we need, especially after skiing “failed” to sell out to bigger brands like nike and under armor.

It’s becoming more apparent that freeskiing will never invade the mainstream like skateboarding did, and knowing that these larger companies won’t give skiers the money they really need I think it’s a good idea for skiing to invest in itself.

Obviously stuff like helmets, boots and goggles can’t really be made by small scale operations but we have no excuse not supporting skier-owned business when it comes to certain outerwear items.

Chunder_KhatIsn't Harlaut shit made in a Chinese factory?

Graham0596Love supporting small companies, butttt sorry to break it to you, skiing is already mainstream. Growing up, (granted I’m from Seattle) there we’re only a few, maybe 4, kids I knew that “skied” meaning at least weekend warriors. Now you can’t throw a rock without hitting someone that has an ikon or epic pass. The ads are everywhere.

Eileen Gu made …31 MILLION… in 2021 from endorsements and brands.

No hate, and again SUPPORT LOCAL, but we’re not going back to “underground”.

Also, there is such a thing as too baggy my guys. I wear a bit oversized, its what I like. HH is a bit too much for me but I get the vibe.

asparagusGu is a model and influencer that happens to ski

Christian_BaleDamn 31 million is insane but Gu is the exception not the rule. From what u can tell, most pros don't make that much money. A lot of pros are essential influences who get free stuff but don't get paid much unfortunately.

hi_vis360Eileen Gu has absolutely nothing to do with the type of skiing I care about

living in Seattle might be skewing your perspective a little, that city has always been a magnet for wealthy outdoorsy types.

I've met lots of people who grew up skiing and enjoyed it who would like to teach their kids but can't because it's gotten too expensive.

Graham0596Definitely the exception, just find it funny when people still see skiing as “not mainstream”

i never used to see “ski pages” on insta, or “season pass ads” or the insane crowds that I’ve noticed the last 5 years.

and don’t wanna paint pro skiers as rolling in cash. For almost all I know it’s the love for the thing and the ability to get to do it all the time, not mons.

eheath"happens to ski"

she's already better than 90% of the field in all disciplines, don't let your hate blind you.

hi_vis360Eileen Gu has absolutely nothing to do with the type of skiing I care about, I don't watch comps and don't follow her so I've literally never even seen footage of her skiing.

living in Seattle might be skewing your perspective a little, that city has always been a magnet for wealthy outdoorsy types. The reality in a lot of rural America is that people are getting priced out of skiing, I've met lots of people who grew up skiing and enjoyed it who would like to teach their kids but can't because it's gotten too expensive.

Graham0596Sorry, but tell that to her Olympic gold medals. She’s more of a skier than you and I ever will be. Just cause you don’t like her don’t mean she ain’t a skier. I’m a shlub that happens to ski, she’s a damn Olympian…

Jemseileen is easily one of the lamest skiers in the industry right now 💯💯💯💯💯 idc about her skills all i see is a skier who turned into a lame basic influencer 💯💯💯💯

eheathYou don't have to like her to respect her skiing, she is the best women's skier right now regardless of your opinion.

asparagusFirstly, my point was that her money came from a mix of modelling and being an olympic/high caliber athlete, not because she’s a park skier.

The fact that she’s a freeskier is irrelevant to her career, in fact, she’d probably be more successful if she were such a high caliber athlete in a different sport.

The most valuable people to our sport are the ones who are deeply engrained into it. Henrik, Casabon, Wallisch, Tanner, all of those guys wouldn’t have the same levels of influence in other sports, even if they were still the best. We care about them because of things deeper than “they win all the medals”.

What I’m trying to say is that Eileen Gu won’t be the one hosting rail jams, invitationals, shooting movies, all the stuff I actually care about. Hell, I have my doubts on talented kids like Matej who I’m sure you guys would hate on if he wasn’t stylish.

What I’m trying to say is that it pisses me off when all the money in skiing goes to athletes that won’t re-invest it back into the sport just because they’re the most “talented”.

Tom is using his influence to run a rail jam that is LOSING money. Phil is spending his life savings on an animated project that probably won’t make him money either. Henrik and Tanner have both run invitationals on top of dropping several FREE movie projects that took time out of their contest careers.


TL/DR; Eileen makes bank because she an athlete not because she’s a skier. Don’t care how much better at skiing she is than me because she won’t invest that money back into the sport.

ReturnToMonkeyI have met several people who have lived less than half an hour from world class skiing their whole lives and have never been on skis due to the cost. Now, the industry is making it so not only can't these people afford to try skiing, they can't afford to live in their hometown and have to move. It's sad

Jems💯just watch skiing for the outfits💯💯💯💯 idc about skills all i see is a skier who turned into a lame basic influencer 💯💯💯💯give me some one that wears outfits I like better who cares if they can ski

Christian_BaleIn regard to the type of skiing that we do, I don't consider it mainstream cuz most people don't really understand park skiing or street skiing.
