couple years ago Eisbar hats (especially the ones with long blond hair on the top) were majorly uncool... and IMO still uncool, kinda like wearing goldstar jackets.

Lacroix skis as pricey as German cars - seriously uncool. Scrabbling about in the snow, wearing your Prada jacket, is not a dignified way to spend your time in the snow. Likely to happen when some tosser on skis as wide as snowboards scrapes across the front of your planks, knocking several thousand pounds worth of diamonds out of them.
Thinking about it, doing anything in a Prada jacket in a ski resort is not dignified...

Oh, 1991 Kastle WC slalom race ski in 207 length! That one rocks the cool tables.

Unless you are in Megeve where the ESF is (at least was) dressed in Prada.

fatbob, are you suggesting I'm an ordinary punter, therefore uncool for ripping huge lines on race room SL skis?

johnDUB, xscreams ?? not sure about them being cool, i used to ski them all the time and were the weapon of choice until everyone else caught em up and now they feel floppy and horrible..
|
|
|

yeah, loved mine, still have a 187cm pair for hooning flat out. If it wasn't for hiring a pair i'd a quit skiing in 2002.

You know it makes sense.

johnDUB, I just saw on Ebay a pair of K2 Fours for sale £40
As for all this coolness I really dont have an idea - my skis are the Elan ripply wave spice bought because I couldnt have what I wanted K2 phat loves or Volkl auras I was hormonal and needed to buy something I dont like the orange colour but they are ok to ski on !
I really have no idea about gear I just put my skis on my feet and go ski ! I cant afford to be cool 
Edited to add if anyone would like a pair of K2 two's you can have them or maybe they should be £20 on ebay ?

Mountaineer look (rugged with technical gear and fat skis): cool
Ski park nuskol look (huge, hanging, lowcut): super uncool
Boarder looks and snowboards: totally 1990s and uncool (only exception board and hard boot bindings pre-1988)

demos, I take umbrage at that: I'm a bit on the hefty side and usually fairly hanging in the AM. I thought the casually dishevelled look was in?

You can't have ski tails wrecked in lift lines, unless you queue next to a pistenbully
Oh you meant the topsheet!
Perfect topsheets on skis used for more than a week - uncool.

Cunners, I meant clothes, mainly pants. Anything relatively fitted is better than loose.

Cunners, my wife occasionally calls me a dolmadaki (you know the greek stuffed wine leaves) when I have too tight stuff on... Don't worry, it's still cooler.

I'm may be showing just how uncool i am, but since when were long skinny skis cool again? Does this mean I can dust off my Course SL's (not that I think they were ever cool) and start terrorising the slopes again?

James Bond on skis - particularly the 10m drop to crevasse is a classic piece of cinematic history. |
If you have alook at the videos section on MSPs website you'll find that it's so cool that there's even a Shane McConkey cover version

Cunners, it's just that his gear is no way near as cool as Mr Bond's. James would never ski in twintips.

My Apache Chief's have been hand custom painted the same as James Taylors '55 Chevy from the film Two Lane Blacktop. No colour, no graphics, no one will ever nick 'em!
