Fun! Back in the 70’s it was quite cool to ski in jeans and gators! I can picture myself now!

I don't teach that day so I just might if the weather and vibe are conducive. Thanks for sharing @ski diva ! I work for the resort and did not even know about this!
There is so much to unpack, or just go with the flow, with this attempt, I can't even wrap my head around it, but I suspect it will be quite the wild and raucous day. A tad envious of my friend with the ski pants that have jean print on them.

My Swedish cousin's wife visited from Europe and proudly wore her two piece blue jean cotten ski outfit she had sewn herself! She is a ripping skier FYI. They all BC ski toured in cotton thermals and cotton socks. Maybe they know something?

The Remarkables had a Denim Dash on their closing day this year here's a cut and paste job from their FB page -
A huge ka pai to all the Jerry's who shredded their hearts out, head to toe in denim for the first-ever DENIM DASH!
Huge success and we even broke a world record for amount of shredders in denim!
Not sure how many took part and if they did indeed break a World record but the pics look great.

Guilty in the 80's also - jeans, red gaiters, and a black trash bag tied at my waist so my butt didn't get soaked. so cool!

Never tried the trash bag over the butt, we were way too self conscious back in high school. But I did use wonder bread bags over my wool socks in my boots to try to keep my feet dry/warm ( that never worked)!!
I skied in jeans, myself, when I was in high school and college (late '60's, 1970's), and lord knows how I did it. Yes, I wore thermal long johns beneath, but in retrospect, I had to have been FREEZING, especially when the wind picked up! Wearing cotton for skiing is just plain awful. Today's technical fabrics are way, way better.

LOL! I forgot about the bread bags! Funny- I use them on my feet to slip into my wetsuit.
Skied in jeans too (70's). Leotards underneath. No base layers back then. Also I had a pair of ski pants that we would consider a shell with full length zippers to wear over top if it was snowing. We also didn't have chairlifts anywhere back then. The problem with the pants was they were made from shiny material that was more slippery than the jeans. I'm thinking they were White Stag or Pedigree.
