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 :-)

Stretch Ski Pants

Where can I buy those stretch ski pants that I see all the French and Spanish wearing? and, does anyone know if they are as warm as sallopettes? Puzzled

No, they are not as warm, and unless you're racing, DON'T WEAR THEM!!!

*This advice has come from Tranny & Suzinni

Snowbird, "stretch ski pants that I see all the French and Spanish wearing"? I must be going to the wrong resorts. I have never tried them myself, but I always thought them serously impractical. No insulation, and no pockets. You might be interested in Warren Millers take on [url=http://www.skitheworld.com/warren's_journal/sex_sells.html] stretch ski pants [/url].

Snowbird, I'm afraid they're right - don't do stretch ski pants! I've only seen them in traditional family French resorts where they haven't updated their ski wear for the last 20 years......I first ventured onto the slopes about 15 years ago and I had a pair of them - but don't tell anyone!

Stril preferable to one-piece Elho or Nevica ski-suits circa 1980.

I think Prada do thin(ner) ski-trousers than the norm. You can find them in the Snow and Rock catalogue. snowHead

I bought a pair second hand when I started skiing and loved them. Unfortunately the only similar pair I could find when they wore out cost over 200 quid in Lilywhites. So I made do with some cheaper ones from Debenhams.

I have to disagree with Jonpim - they were stretchy but sort of foamy and I never felt cold in them. And my ski jackets have so many pockets it was nice to have no pockets elswhere to lose things in!

Thanks for all the advice - think i might save my money and stick to my old faithful sallopettes.

For the love of god NO! Please men, whatever happens in your life, no matter how good you think your body is, PLEASE don't inflict upon us your lycra clad "tackle". Confused

Alexandra, lycra clad tackle is OK this season as long as a codpiece is used. Off-piste skiers, especially those who like to ski through the trees are advised to use the Armored or "sausage o' steel" codpiece.

Now this isn't all entirely fair. I remember a group of us in ski lessons sabotaging each other in order to ski behind the very nice Dutch girl and her black stretch pants.

Admitedly there is a quality pre-requisite . . .

, not to be confused with this, which really will frighten the girls. One plus is: your religion will not be revealed by the tightness of your lycra.
