Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Snowboard pants

 Poster: A snowHead

Hey,
New to forum and sort of new to the sport. It's been awhile since I have been skiing and I'm going to for my 20th anniversary. Very excited!
I needed gear and I really liked the look of snowboard pants vs ski pants. Will snowboard pants fit over ski boots? Sorry for my ignorance. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome!

In my experience they probably will fit over your boots but tend not to be reinforced around the ankle so can get cut up by wayward ski edges...

Horses for courses , a lot both skiers and snowboarders wear snowboard pants, they definitely will go over a ski boot , but as Pynch says , a lot more ski pants have a reinforced patch around it .

Enjoy your anniversary , I would be more concerned with the fact your skis now will be a lot shorter than back in your day lol

Enjoy and welcome to snowheads too

@Scout331, What is it you like about the look? There are plenty of baggy ski pants out there. Going for the full teenage boarder look may not be appropriate for your age/style Twisted Evil

@Scout331, baggy trousers are need to go over the padded pants that snowboarders needs to protect their hips when they fall

I hesitate to give anyone fashion advice, but pants have been somewhat less skinny for the last few years - see the Burton TWC range for example. Major back country brands (Arc, Pat) do not differentiate at all. What differentiation you do see is largely branding only.

Good back country riders don't generally use park/ pipe protection in my experience. Falling's rare and the landing is soft.

Oh yeah, I ride race boards with race (hard) snowboard boots, so although I snowboard in snowboard pants, I think that answers your question.
