    Question: Montec

    My son wore the sister brand, Dope Snow, last season and loved it. He had shells and layered with down midlayers and capeline baselayers. Montec is a bit less trendy colors and patterns, IMO, and a bit higher price point. Both are similar in wind and water resistance. I do think there are better...

    Has anyone had an MRI on their Lumbar spine ??

    I had a lumbar and Thoracic MRI both - face up, on my back. They put a pillow behind your knees and give you ear plugs. I am a little claustrophobic too and was worried about it ahead of time, but it was no big deal. There's constant airflow in the form of a gentle fan blowing through the...

    I'm such a Jacket Slut!

    I wasn't going to do it. But I did it. With my favorite pants????

    Plus-size skier chat

    Hey ladies - I just came across a new brand, Halfdays, that seems to offer styles that fit us up to a 2X (which appears to be a generous 2X). Anyone know this brand? These are definitely pricey from what i see, but perhaps a worthwhile investment? I like the option to have colors other than...

    Does anyone wear stretch ski pants these days?

    I wore the old school wool stirrup pants from Schoeller in the 90’s. They sucked then but looked amazing. I needed gaiters for my boots. I do have these North Face STH stretch pants and they are the most comfortable to ski in ever but not especially warm. Better for balmy days. Boring black but...

    Prada skis (and gear)

    I've seen Shaun White wearing this on his instagram. The goggles look like Oakley Flight Deck - I swear he is wearing the Prizm torch lens.

    I'm such a Jacket Slut!

    That is so cute on you! I am loving my Prowess jacket. Its a little longer than your pillowline, but I think I am taller than you. The color Folkstone Gray is definitely grayer than the Foxglove (I saw a couple styles online that used both fabrics so I could definitely tell the contrast). The...

    I'm such a Jacket Slut!

    I wish more brands would size beyond a juniors cut fit model. Burton finally goes up to an XXL in most of their styles, and one style comes in a 3XL - they also changed their fit to be a bit more generous in the bust-department. Most of the brands seem to stop around a 40" bust, which in my...

    I'm such a Jacket Slut!

    Does buying snowboard gear to wear skiing count as jumping the proverbial shark? I ordered two jackets from Burton because they FINALLY changed their size profile from Juniors cut to normal human women body types. I have always loved the longer length and more relaxed fit of the snowboard...

    I'm such a Jacket Slut!

    White would look really good, though dangerous. I wonder if a wildcard neon would be cool too - for some reason yellow comes to mind, maybe because its on the other side of the color wheel?

    Baselayer addict/slut

    My husband has one of those and loves it. I think I will give it a try too

    Baselayer addict/slut

    Do you know which one it is, or if they have a similar style currently? I love Athleta.

    Baselayer addict/slut

    I sure do! Great big vents under the arms of my shell jacket and from mid-thigh to lower calf on the outer leg of my pants. They help (though I wonder if I would be better off with inner thigh vents on my pants, but love my pants too much to try anything else). Thanks for the recs! I may need to...

    Baselayer addict/slut

    I think I've run warm for a while but never to this extent for sure. Its grown progressively worse in my mid-40's. HRT does not help. Helmet vents were totally open. My insulated jacket would be damp-ish at times on warmer days, but nothing compared to how sweaty I was this past season with the...

    Baselayer addict/slut

    Seems like the best place to ask this question: What weight wool baselayers do you think should I invest in based on the below? I usually ski Breckenridge in January and February. DSG shell jacket (this one) with Eddie Bauer Microtherm 800 fill power down puffy jacket or 800 fill down vest...

    Masks for skiing

    Oh fantastic! I am heading to the mountains this week (finally) and am so glad to hear they worked out well! They are washed and ready to go for the flight - god willing, no maskne - and for our first ski day.

    Masks for skiing

    I have very sensitive, fair, acne-prone mid-40's skin. They do not itch me. I did pre-wash them in my regular laundry detergent and air dry them ahead of time. They are very soft, just like the merino wool buff I wear when skiing.

    Enable me or don’t. Cashmere sweater for skiing

    I have skied in cashmere in the past Its quite lovely, actually. I had a heather gray cashmere turtleneck my husband bought for me at Saks one year. I think I lived in it for at least 5 years - it was in heavy rotation for sure, but because it was decent quality it seemed to hold up. Then I had...
