In the past I have seen some wonderful Kjus jackets.

It looks very cute on you........ so if you love it, get it..... what's the back look like?

Well a few years ago I bought a black (why black?) Kjus jacket on sale for probably $300 from $600 and magenta Kjus pants on sale. They are a fantastic product (waterproof, breathable, lightweight, warm, comfortable) but in Tahoe I feel like I should be in Deer Valley. Nobody wears Kjus in Tahoe unless they're from somewhere else.

Yes, I wonder if that jacket is too fancy for Mammoth.
I don't have an opinion, but I'll offer a strategy.
A neighbor many years ago told me that her husband loved to fish. He liked to go on weekend fishing trips. She wasn't so happy about it. So he'd come home and pick a fight. When she was either screaming mad or no longer speaking to him, he'd say "well, you're already mad, so I'm going fishing". He confessed this to her and apologized when he was terminally ill.
So if you can't justify this as a reward for the weight you lost, I say you look around for a dirty ski sock on the floor ....
"And that's when the fight started."

Yes, maybe, but who can recognize them, especially with a mask!
It's fun skiing in the spring. There are all sorts of retro outfits on the slopes.

I guess the fancier brands aren't popular here either, but maybe because I live in a city, where you see so many different kinds of styles everyday, this isn't something I'd worry about.
I saw a woman skiing here recently who had a beautiful flower print ski coat. I'd never seen anything like it, especially not in Washington, and I complimented her on it. We chatted for a minute and I realized it was a Bogner. You never see Bogner at Crystal or Snoqualmie, but I appreciated that she wore such a beautiful coat!

Also have some Bogner plaid ski pants that I get tons of compliments on. The only way one would know they are Bogner is if noticing little B's on the zippers..... Another brand you don't see very often in Tahoe ......
I love those pants!

GIGGLE.
Why would I ask a group whose members would discourage me from doing what I secretly (or maybe not so secretly) want to do anyway.
