The one that made me feel more bulky was one like this:

And the current one that's flatter is looks like this one:

It doesn't look it but the outdoor one (the first image) has that front clipped on section that pokes way out when you put things in the bag. And that was what was making it feel bulgy on the lift sitting down. But the second one doesn't have that so things either sit at the very bottom (heavy/irregular shaped items) and the flatter things like another layer I'm carrying just sits flat against the back. And for some weird reason, I feel like I carry less things because there isn't as many separate compartments. Plus, I get the option to carry skis/snowboard and other equipment on the bag if I venture off-piste or is just hiking (up a hill or to/from parking lot).
@Lilywhite Does that warm entire boot INCLUDING toe area? Cold toes are my nemesis.
Was just talking to my boss about skiing when it gets wicked cold and he said he uses Vaseline. He puts it on his face, his hands and his feet. The thought of slimy gel on me with gloves, face masks and socks over it kinda grosses me out but maybe I shouldn't knock it until I try it..................
Yuck hate slick toes, can't stand when they do that in a massage either. I do put spf lotion on my cheeks even if I'm covered by balaclavas and the lotion does help prevent wind burn.Was just talking to my boss about skiing when it gets wicked cold and he said he uses Vaseline.

I get a REALLY cold backside when I ski or just go out at night in the ski resort. I think it's the extra layer of fat that gets really chilly.
After freezing my butt off last week, I have come up with a solution to avoid the arctic arse. I get the adhesive toe warmers that you are supposed to stick to your sock and I stick them to the outside of my undies - one on each cheek. The result is totally toasty cheeks!
An added side benefit is that if I sit on one of the benches on the side of the runs in the rest areas I melt the hard packed ice on the bench seat! lol[/QUO
Is this one of those east coast-west coast differences? I've never considered locking my skis and I cant really recall seeing anyone else lock theirs either but I've only ever skied the west. How common is locking your skis in the east?I have a Ski Key because I don't ever like to leave skis unlocked.

Indeed much discussion! Sorry to have tortured the deceased equine :-)
