Sinful ski outfits Contest

If you are a "regular" to this site you, I am sure have read to many sinful ski outfits we see on the slopes!

In order to encourage skiers to be "green" and blend into the skiing context I am offering a "prize" to the skier that presents the most sinful outrageous ski outfit he or she wears!

We are not talking here of costumes, or film "props". No we want the "real" thing. The prize will be a pair of Avalanche ski pants size 36-38! The judges will be Mike and Ellistine.
Not that they as ski fashion "experts" but they know what sins are, they know what ski garments to wear and Ellistine just got a Spyder jacket thus indicating he has taste AND need for speed!.

In order to breal any possible ties I will also judge.


Here are the basic rules.

Sent picture of your wife, friend or yourself on this site.

You must have worn this while skiing.

The deadline for this contest is end of September 2007.


I promise to send to the winner a pair of Avalanche ski pants or act a "fashion consultant" on their next ski clothing purchase!

Well fellow skiers, Pavel is at it once more !!! If there is anything ski related on this planet better than a "Pavel Springtime Quiz", it is the Pavel Mid-Summer Ski Fashion Contest"!!!

Ellistine, it will be great to co-judge this contest with you and Pavel. My mind wonders and my heart skips a beat at thoughts of what may be submitted. We are going for the worst fahion statement here I think. But all in good fun - of coure. :!:

Mike :wink:

Luckily, as I've only been skiing for four years, even my oldest gear ain't that old but I can still recognise a splendidly awful 'one piece' when I see one.

I see a problem ahead. People will want to know what criteria we used to allow someone to win.

Can we "propose" at least 3-4 criteria for that sinful outfit!

It can be;

1. Color ( or colors )

2. Design ( or lack of...)

3. Fit

4. Date ( a 1874 tweed jacket a la C. Doyle just does not "fit" in the ski scene today)

5. Functionality ( does it help or hinder the skiing movement)


Is this acceptable to both of you?

Whatever you say Pavel is good on my front!

But I think anything that is just plain "tacky" should qualify as being in the running for a strong "winning" possibility. Some of the older Warren Miller movies had outfits which would qualify these days as being retro retro. But then we must be careful not to offend since beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Something that ellistine, you or myelf may think as sinfully outrageous may be something the wearer feels is his/ her garb in which they preform the best. But then if they thought this they will not enter it in this contest anyway. I do recall seeing a young gentleman pictured in a tweed jacket and I believe black leggings. I believe his leather ski boots had long thongs that wound around his calfs. He struck a striking pose on the freshly fallen sunlit snow. Possibly his attire would qualify in this modern day contest? :wink: Perhaps this picture should be entered by Mr. Annon!

Mike
:D

I think I maybe wearing one in my Avatar!

Greenskier,

Are you submitting a picture or just making a comment?

By the way Big White is a great place to visit and ski!

Yes I am submitting my picture. And yes they are stretch pants. And I'm ashamed to say, I only replaced them this January.
