Have you ever worn a fun costume while skiing?

[liquidfeet]

I don't mean 80s ski clothing.

I mean some kind of costume to celebrate a holiday, or when you're just feeling frisky.
How about a helmet cover?

Describe what you wore or post pictures please!

Personally, no. But Years ago I crocheted a helmet cover for DD. She wanted a yellow helmet so she could sharpie a black “happy face” smile on the top. She ended up with a white helmet, so I got to work with my crochet hook. We would go into the lodge and people would tell her they saw her skiing under the lift. If I come across it, I’ll get a pic

Years ago I belonged to a traveling ski club. We usually did something different at the mid February trip to Owl's Head.

So as one of the instructors, I dressed up as a clown for the afternoon. Even skied on a old pair of skis not many people had seen. It was a blast, because no one could figure out who it was.

When I worked for Nestle, I always wanted to dress up and ski as the Quik bunny. Never got to do it. Thing is you would never have been able to keep the head on as you looked through the mouth to see where you were going. I did it once for the kids Christmas party and your vision wasn't all that great.

I used to sew my own customes. Many, many, times on snow in custome. The most memorable was probably an exceptionally early snow year, where we went Backcountry skiing on Halloween. Let's just say that I was not having my best day and 2/3 up the skin, I took my outfit off and stuffed it in my pack with tears in my eyes and kept skiing in my non costume. The photo below is of us , D H & I in our ape masks which we have worn many many times skiing. The two vests we're wearing I had made to add a little Pizzazz to the outfit. Kids kept asking their parents if the monkeys were real which was hysterically funny to us.

I haven't, personally, though I did run across these guys once. They said it was in response to a bet:

I haven't yet but I might be going to the Whiteface Santa ski event this year. If you wear a Santa suit you ski for free so I'll probably do it for the sake of getting to ski for free.

Will that be a Mrs. Santa suit, or a Mr. Santa suit? Post pics, PLEASE!!!!!!!

 

[newboots]

Aww shoot. I thought I could post my 80s ski outfit picture here. Nothing more creative than that so far!

But the spring crowd at Killington. Wow, that’s another story.

Good question! I was going to see what I could find on sale and go with that.

I haven’t but I think it could be so fun! I especially love a great pond skim costume!

I’m thinking about a helmet cover too. I used to ski in my ladybug and Olaf (frozen) hats but studies show they don’t protect the noggin
