The first entry has been submitted ... congratulations greenskier :D


Mike :wink:

Greenskier,

Thanks for first post on skier sins. It takes a lot of courage to be the first to throw in the picture. It really is not that serious of a sin but it will help other sinners come out ( if they have your "example" as proof that we all sin)!

I bet you do a lot of "off-piste" skiing!

Are those "adjustable" poles?


Is jacket a hooded winter camping / trekking jacket?

Are your boots rear entry?

Are ski pants with 'into boots" sleeve or the bell bottom types that go over boots with zipper at rear?

Do you wear a long scarf that rolls around your neck?

All of these will give you extra points on the contest.


Again thanks for first step!

I was about to deny that my ski jacket was a camping jacket but after checking the label, I've noticed it's called 'Discovery' (BTW, I have now replaced it with a new pink jacket which is definitely designed for skiing - I keep the old one to lend to friends that I coerce to go skiing with me.)

My poles aren't adjustable but they do have a very old sticker still stuck on them from a ski race I participated in about 15 years ago.

My pants are in the boot. The pink gators are an add-on.

My current boots aren't rear entry but my first pair were. When asked by the ski shop attendant (I won't call him a bootfitter) what type of boots I was looking for, I told him 'white ones.'

As further inspiration to everyone, I've been looking through my photo albums and have found a few more likely entries.


A very enticing ensemble for my very first time skiing (how sexy is that shirt?)


Part of a very sinful group.


Bad jacket, bad perm and bad knee (courtesy of bad binding)

You truly are a "brave" one. I could not dare post some of my "outfits" from my university days.

Let me give you a picture;

Army surplus green jacket= $5
Wool knickers = $8
White woolen socks to knees=$2
Raccoon hat ( from old coat)= $1

Bamboo ski poles = $1
Leather boots = $25

What is amazing was that I did not stick "out"!

PS
My children burned all of these , so I would NOT wear them on retro days at my ski center!


Fellow judges ,,,we just might have a winner!!!!!!!

Green skier,

Perhaps bad perm
Perhaps bad knee

Great smile

( and that is what counts)

I agree Pavel. Greenskier's smile shows she has a great outgoing personality and attitude. I think that anyone who get's the chance to spend a day skiing with her is the winner :!:

I hope your knee is better now greenskier!

Mike :D

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy.

I think I've spotted another winner!

If you look at greenskiers group shot again - the bloke stood 3rd from the back. Great facial hair and superb ski pants!
