Reminded by the oldest jacket thread - does anyone else get superstitious about what they wear? I love buying new gear, from socks to outers, but on skis/board (as opposed to walking or mountains) I am really, really cautious about wearing it for the first, sometimes subsequent, times. Same old tights, old t-shirts, base layers, same old jacket, trousers, scarf, buffs, even gloves... (Then again, I was still wearing them when my ACLs went ski-about )

No
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Nope, love the new stuff, if I could disregard "save the planet" and afford a butler and chamberperson I'd have fresh and new sheets/gloves/socks every day.
Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

@Old Fartbag, I believe they’re called Hus-bands nowadays.
You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Why do you think I want one!
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I want a Butler, so I can send him into the Ski-Through Mc Donalds and pick me up a Burger at lunchtime.
So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

My 'I-have-to-do-it-like-this ' routine is about where everything I carry goes in my pockets. No changey-mindey- all the bits have their exact place!
You know it makes sense.

Me too...otherwise it becomes a game of Pelmanism.

@Old Fartbag, Jeez! Just tryin' to be sociable.
I'm really very surprised: everyone I know who's seriously into their sport, music, art etc is no less "obsessed" ( most much more so) by trying to understand and get it right, get better, think it through, learn, etc. Clearly Snowheads are in a different league though and never need to do any of that in order to be as good as they can.
Many people whom I know, and other well-known ones whom I don't, including very good extreme sports and motorcycling people ( and my butler and chauffeur), are highly superstitious about their clothing, equipment, routines, the order in which they put things on or get ready, etc etc. Again, really really surprised that no-one here is.
Or maybe not...

I was taking the Michael...but you do me the power of good, as you are even worse than me - and I wasn't sure that was possible.
I leave the superstitious routines to elite athletes (of which I am not one)....and most of my kit is so old, that even the moths find it unpalatable.

Nope, not superstitious about my clothing, but I do get worked up about hire skis; are they too soft, too wide, too long, too short, right for the conditions, etc.

Those "Goldilocks Skis" are hard to find.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

No clothing superstitions or any superstitions come to that.
Love buying new gear, just justifying to the OH is the hard bit.
