So I can still remember when I was a kid and my mom always bought one-piece snowsuits- I couldn't wait until I was big enough to be allowed to wear a two-piece snow outfit! So even though it sounds warm, I feel like I'd look like this wearing it: https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/90747?page=infants-and-toddlers-cold-buster-snowsuit

I wore one on April Fools Day a few years ago (totally retro - orange and purple) and we had a surprise. A foot of powder. I was a novice skier and suffice it to say, the constant falling was quite improved by the onesie. Too bad my goggles and glasses couldn’t cooperate. Finally went down without either and could actually see better! (My vision os 20/600.)

I can’t decide if you would look cuter in the green or the purple!

Going to the bathroom is an issue. You have to undo the top half, and it hangs down. Hangs down. Think about it.

Wait a minute. I had several one piece ski suits, some insulated plus one really nice HellyHansen shell with pit zips.
Cons: yes half your suit could end up in the toilet if you're not careful. Also walking around ski lodge with top half of your suit wrapped around your waist.
Pros: So warm you never get cold.
More Pros: Bought a Colmar stretch pants bottom with connected puffy top at consignment store in Aspen for maybe $50 many years ago. It was previously owned by Goldie Hawn.

I think it’s a younger millennial/generation Z thing. A lot of the youngins wear onesies, and not because they’re babies. But more likely to be some kind of animal costume than not.

Perhaps in the east. I've seen senior women in one-piece ski suits in recent years. They are part of the Wild Old Bunch. These are seniors who will ski on groomers if that's all that's good, but are really much more interested in off-piste terrain after a snowstorm. They usually show up early and head home by lunch time. The snow snobs only show up during late season when there is good snow. For a retired couple who is spending the winter in SLC, the snow snob is just as likely to be the wife as the husband.

I agree. I saw people wearing them at Stratton last season and a lot in Aspen. Variety of ages, definitely not all younger people.
