My cousin never rides in more than a t-shirt and hooded windbreaker,


Oops. I meant a thin hooded sweatshirt. Probably a cotton poly blend.
Dunno how he does it, but he's been riding a long time, and it doesn't
seem to bother him.

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?

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!!

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.
