Starter Jackets and Jeans

Just want to pose a question, why do so many of you losers out there
wear played out Nebraska Starter Jackets and scoth-guarded jeans on the
slopes. Look, if you are financially strapped I can dig that. But I
spend time at some of the most expensive resorts in North America and I
see tons of people who still wear this carp. What can possibly be the
reason?

Perhaps they do it just to **** off anal-retentive losers who care too
much about fashion and think it's their gawd-given right to tell
everone else how to dress.

Of course, that's just a guess... I really wouldn't know for sure cause
I don't wear jeans to ski.

Good point Armin but I was not referring to the fur wearing, Chanel
sporting, stretch pant loving tourons (tourist - moron) but rather the
nitwits who bust out the Dallas Cowboy or Denver Bronco Start Jackets
and think they are looking smooth.

I personally have more of a problem with people wearing one-pieces on
the slopes but this just totally escapes me when I see it on the
slopes.

I think they wear them so they'll be easy to find in the backcountry.
They just call the rescue folks on their cellphone and tell them to come
pick up the Nebraskey Cornhusker, and ignore all the rest of us in our
goretex. Otherwise the heli would have to get close enough to each of us
in turn to recognize the bird and fly off to the next potential victim,
and the Cornhusker might miss the kickoff on the telly.

Hahahaha, that is awesome. Going to find myself a new sweet Husker
jacket after work. Screw my Marmot.

Fur, one-piecers, Chanel, jeans, Denver Bronco Start Jackets...
whatever floats their boat is fine by me... as long as they don't have
a problem with what I'm wearing then they can wear whatever they want.

Maybe I'm missing the point but why should anyone be bothered by what
someone else wants to wear?

Let's not forget stupid head gear. Horns and those spikey things.
The ones who wear those never seem to be decent skiers.
At least cowboy hats went out of style around here. Just a couple of years
ago but at least they're done.

Cool, so my skiing improved because I didn't wear one of those spiky hats?
Actually, I like them. Nobody can take himself too seriously when wearing a
jester's hat, especially with little bells.

Wouldn't the chin-cord take away some of the studliness? How can you keep a
brimmed hat on your head with a 35-mph wind in your face?

Fold the front brim down over your eyes so the downward pressure keeps
the hat on while you're going 35mph. Seems to work for the snowboarders
(can't think of another reason why they can't see where their going.)

Haven't seen many cowboy hats here. Mostly depressing dirty gray knit caps
pulled down over their ears even when it's way too warm. I haven't worn a hat
for several years, and only a few times ever -- but I have pretty thick hair.
