My ski mates and I often like to while away cable car and chairlift trips with a daft competition to spot skiers in 1970s/80s dayglo gear etc.

That spot would have been worth 10 points!!!

Up until last year I was wearing my daughter's old, cheap, black teenage size salopettes, and my normal everyday waterproof jacket, because ski clothes are so expensive, and I was walking around Borovets in welly boots (came in handy when the snow all melted and there were huge puddles everywhere!). I dare say if you'd seen me I'd have been worth a photo.

Up to date designer ski wear is very expensive. My daughter made me buy some new stuff last year, because I was an 'embarassment'.

What's wrong with old stuff, as long as it functions O.K.?

Ally, riding down on the chair at the end of the day I was getting a bit cold and damp, my ski stuff isn't exactly 'the best designed gear' but I would bet he came near to being soaked through if he skied all day and cold too. Ski stuff that old and that well used probably doesn't work as well as it could.

Your sallys were black, hardly worthy of a photograph. Welly boots are awesome.
