Worst trend in skiing rn

BradFiAusNzCoCaWorst trend - hating. We all look whack af even if we think we don’t lmao

Park skiers look like clowns to people who don’t ski park. No joke.

MoneyMakerMikeI hate this opinion cuz all the time people I know who don’t ski will see a skiing/snowboarding clip and think it’s sick. Maybe you look like a clown to non skiers but not all of us do lol. Keep hating!

BradFiAusNzCoCaI think you missed my point but okay bud

ReturnToMonkeyGogs over a hat look fine but over a helmet don't?

weatcoastYeah

skiP.E.I.less comfortable and goggles don't fit right under the helmet.

FreethaheelIt’s funny checking out newschoolers and thinking woah this crew has grown up and then someone post something like this….get out of middle school and stop hating. We have more important things to be opinionated about…

MoneyMakerMikeUr point: we all look like clowns to people who don’t ski so stop hating




my point: this is not true only you and people who wear woofbiz pants look like clowns

Farmville420Listen up SpongeBob profile picture I’m wearing my goggles over and you will never stop Me. I’m already wearing a helmet (helmets look ugly as fuck don’t even try and pretend they look cool) so how much worse can goggles over possibly make it anyways

Farmville420Also anyone who says gogs under is more comfy is lying

LenntThat first sentence felt broad then that second one came and I felt directly called out. This changes nothing though.

ReturnToMonkeyGogs over pulls harder on my face and my earbuds fall out more often without my facemask yanking on my jaw. Gogs under feels better cus the strap is way less tight and I can wear my face mask in a more comfortable way while keeping my earbuds in

Farmville420My strap just loosens enough to where I don’t have that problem, idk it might just be ur goggles but genuinely have never experienced that

ReturnToMonkeyIdk man my goggles and helmet are both Smith and should fit together well but maybe I have a weird head cus it fits together more comfortably under. Also it's nice taking off the helmet on the chairlift but keeping the gogs on for bright days

Farmville420Can you fit a beanie and goggle straps under ur helmet? Genuine question cuz helmets are pretty much designed to only fit a ninja mask or whatever they’re called (back lava or something) underneath so it might just be a big ass bucket

Maybe not, either way I’m the opposite, I like to have the goggles off my face as much as possible because I hate the filter mine have so it’s super nice just pulling them up

c-friesYea I don’t really understand this functionality argument. I’ve only worn a beanie and goggles under my helmet for like 15 years and have never had an issue. With helmet/goggle different combinations.

Farmville420Because helmets 15 years ago don’t have the tech of these new helmets. I read a full length study about mips and I can link it if you want but essentially you can mitigate concussions and in some cases even eliminate them, which is major.

The whole point of mips is that the helmet fits very snugly on your head and it kind of acts like a gyroscope with two planes that shear, sounds insane but apparently it’s genuinely effective. However it doesn’t work if you isolate the helmet with like a beanie or something, goggle straps probably have no effect but the way I got my helmet fitted I literally cannot fit gogs under even if I wanted to. It’s not tight it’s just so perfectly sized there’s no excess room, not all helmets are like that but mine is.

Sounds like monkey has a good fitting helmet so I honestly have no clue why the goggles would tight around the face, that’s unfortunate though for sure so I can understand that. But to say you’ve been doing something for 15 years when protective equipment had evolved so much in the past 5 years alone warranted the explanation lol

c-friesI see what you’re saying.

However, I got a brand new Giro MIPS helmet last year that fits snugly, especially when tightened (wheel thing in the back, not sure of the technical term). I understand what you’re saying about isolating the helmet. Sometimes I’ll just rock balaclava and gog strap underneath. However, it’s pretty damn cold in Montana a lot of the time and a simple thin balaclava layer under the helmet doesn’t do it for me.

So come get me safety ranger I still think the gog strap makes you look like a narc. Sorry.
