Work washroom selfie. Weird pose because there's only a flash of colour under the arms. I'm a dark and mysterious sort of girl...

Maybe I need @DebbieSue's taffy colored bibs for my new jacket. Or maybe I should just bite the bullet and purchase the foxy beet colored bibs......
And sell some of my other ski stuff...... but, alas, not many my size
@badger , @Pequenita to name a few.

As a fellow owner of the taffy bibs, I love them and would recommend them to anyone if you can find or steal a pair
I really do like the beet colour as well though!! I bet they'd look good with my existing jackets... must not buy more gear

Keep telling yourself that. But, the siren smell of crispy new gear...mmmm.........
No pockets in a shroud, but there are in a new jacket!

Now that's an expression one doesn't hear often and it is much more evocative than "you can't take it with you." Also, there's no guarantee of skiing in heaven. Ski now!!

I nicked it from one of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books ages ago, I think the excerpt went like:
"Making money is good, but there's no pockets in a shroud"
"Then you don't know the right tailor!"
You're right though, it is evocative now you've pointed that out, I always used it thinking it was just funny.

I just stumbled upon this thread and I'm thrilled. I am an extreme jacket slut in all areas of my life, and skiing is just making that more hilariously true. Have been in major debates about what I'm wearing this season and I thiiiink I've got it figured out. I'll post pics once it's all here.

Ski clothes shopping is so much fun! Especially in the off season. We have a pants slut thread too.
That is the pants thread:I'm a Pants Slut!
Ha! I have 13 pairs, mostly Frauenschuh and Authier. Two are Jet Set. They are beautifully made, warm, and not made in you know where. I am it, the ski pants slut! Hahaha. Then again, I skied 145 days last season, so I do wear them a lot. My jet set pants with silver stars down the side sadly...

It says it water resistant on the website but how water resistant I dont know. I generally wear my down jacket on non snowy days and my gortex shell on days when it snows. I know a couple of gals who would love these but granted they do spend most of the time at the bar rather than actually skiing despite the fact that they spend more on their outerwear than my whole kit put together including my ski's

There are a number of down jackets with water resistance on the market - the Flylow Kenzie springs to mind, and I have personally owned a 2116 of Sweden down jacket with a 12k waterproofing rating as well as my current Huffer Superdown jacket which is 10k rated with 650-fill down, has been worn on snowy days, and comes in a Goretex version that I can't afford.
Breathable has been a slightly different story though....I run cold so that has never been my priority on the majority of snowy days.

I just bought another jacket... for its color! But it was only $29.99 before shipping:

I bought blue. If it doesn't work out for skiing, I'll wear it around town.
