I think shells suck. They all trap sweat like crazy, even the "breathable" ones. Unless it's raining, I'm wearing fleece with a wind vest, much cheaper and tune-able. In the rain, it doesn't matter, you'll get wet either way. You just want to keep running water off your body. If you leave word where you'll be skiing in the backcountry, we can collect the body in the Spring. The idea of wearing the same stuff for cycling and snowboarding is really dumb. It's hard to think of any other 2 winter sports with such different requirements. |

You got to be kidding. Or your "unless" should include "cold and/or windy". Where do you ski? In the rain, it doesn't matter, you'll get wet either way. You just want to keep running water off your body. Not true. I boarded in the pouring rain last season wrapped in good shells (jacket - Salomon Somatic, pants - Arc'teryx Minuteman) and all of my layers other than the shell were dry after two hours of this misery I'm with Dmitry. I use a shell and up to three layers underneath plus balaclava, if necessary. I carry a daypack that I use to stash layers as the day goes on and retrieve layers for the last few runs, as necessary. The shell and the 1st layer remain constant, but your shell should have good pit vents to give you that warm and fuzzy feeling. Skiing with a daypack is a whole other subject, so those of you who are about to dis me for skiing with a pack inbounds... bite me!! RAC RAC |

I don't really understand how one can survive the entire day on elevation close or above 10K feet in dry cold air sweating like crazy without constant use of a camelbak. |

Well these days it seems people can't understand how people ski without a helmet or carve on skis longer than 150. Believe me, it's easy. But I didn't really sweat that much. |

I'm curious as to what Dmitry does understand. I've never needed a camelback. but then again a couple runs to the lodge during the day cover that. |

It depends some on what you're doing, and also on where you're coming from. I'm from New England, and I find that I'm pretty parched my first few days in CO. I don't carry a hydration pack, though -- just hydrate before and visit the lodge a couple of times. -- Mary Malmros Some days you're the windshield, other days you're the bug. |
