I'm thinking of getting a locker in the lift station to save walking around with skis / boots. Does anyone have any nifty tips to hold up the hems of your ski trousers, so they don't constantly get trodden on??
Very annoying when bouncing around to terrible Austrian euro-pop after a bucket of schnapps.

Cycle clips. If you’re worried about looking naff remember that you’ll be dancing to Europop

Are you vertically-challenged? The hem of my salos does not reach the floor...

Do they have a velcro flap / strap you use to seal around your boots? That might tighten them around the ankle...

Turn up the ankle snow skirts and fold them over so they hold the hems in place.

I always do this and my mates laugh at me, except I'm the one with the non-trashed salopettes at the end of the session

Those things with the velcro that hold skis together. If anyone asks just say your drinking is sponsored by Salomon etc.

Rule #1. It's not apres ski if you're not still in your ski boots!
Rule #2. Salopettes and apres ski don't mix - salopettes are not known for their convenience for toilet breaks, the need for which increases exponentially as the apres ski consumption gets going and one initially breaks the seal.
Buy some ski trousers. Unless of course your going to wear the salopettes with the upper bib and should strap part undone and hanging loose down around your knees in some sort of hipster fashion statement, in which case you won't be worried about the hems anyway

Yeah well when I say salopettes, I mean ski trousers and yes they are a couple of inches too long when I'm not wearing ski boots.
I sort of agree that après isn't après if you're not wearing ski boots. But when you're "out out" and still in your ski gear, you need dance floor shoes!
I spent a load on Patagonia Powder Bowl trousers and would prefer they didn't get trashed.
So far I'm liking the cycle clips and duct tape ideas

wear shiny disco tights underneath. Stash salopettes with ski boots and rule the dance floor.

Couple of swift beers then just take them off. Nobody'll notice!

@TopGooner, check your pockets! I discovered way too late that inside my thigh/knee pockets there were pull cords that performed exactly this function! You could pull the cords tight and they would lift the back of the trousers up. No more crud on the back. Amazing eh?

Just go with the flow - last year I discovered the hems of my favourite ski pants (Salopettes?Trousers?) were all chewed up so I just chopped them off - no problem!
