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 :-)

When will it end ......

We are now seemingly entrenched in an 80's revival and the old saying ..."if you were wearing it first time around, you are too old to wear it now" (or something like that) just isnt being adhered to !

What Neon fad? Don't recall seeing any more than usual out there. @limegreen1 are you sure you're not trying to justify the regrettable purchase of some eye-scorching luridwear under the cover of being 'on-trend'?

Neon's great. Black is for funerals, brown is the colour of mud, and grey is the colour of old people's hair* ghosts.

We saw loads in Tignes when we were there last month. It's pretty glowy anyway, but with goggles when you see it, it's extreme! I quite fancied getting some for the children to make them easier to spot Very Happy

Pink, orange, yellow and green. I admit I loved it when it was in style in the 80s so I'm obviously going to still love it now - caring about fashion trends has never been my thing anyway..

I've just mounted some FKS bindings in flouro orange and first time out with them it was a bit flat light but they were glowing soo bright! Also on another set of skis the bases are flouro pink on one ski and flouro green on the other, the reflection on the snow when you are skiing is quite impressive.

I always wanted lumi yellow trousers as a teenager in the late 80s. Couldn't afford them or wasn't daring enough by the time I could (or maybe they'd left the shops by then). Stuck with black for years.

Finally in Andorra a couple of years ago, in a shop with heavily discounted gear, decided to treat myself to bright orange trousers, and a helmet (not so bright) to match. My family can recognize me immediately in a crowd. The joke is that I have an orange car (and don't drink alcohol, = orange juice) so the colour is taking over my life, hence my username. I'm still a fashion disaster with my mid-90s (dull blue) Couloir ski jacket, but frankly too old to care.

I'll look even stupider when I use that gear to start boarding again....

There is a difference between stuff that's just "bright", à la @spyderjon – nothing wrong with that, I have a pair of yellow trousers myself, and the proper "dayglo" stuff which makes the standard brights look rather desaturated in comparison. I'm not sure if goggles make the luminous gear look brighter, but I saw some on the slopes last week and it was horrendously bright Shocked

No idea where you get it from though, I'm not sure I want to know!

Many years ago I went on a tea club trip to Val T. The rep had devised a game to rate ski outfits on a scale of 1-10 for outrageous bright colours. He stated at the beginning that he'd never seen a 10. Well the week went on and we'd seen the odd 8-9 but the elusive 10 eluded us.

On the last day I just glanced something that changed the whole game. There was a Japanese man in the most glaring striped one piece with so many different bright colours that I was sure warranted the true 10 points.

Ok, Tim, I've spotted a 10. No way he said. When he looked round he said, game over. That's not just a 10 but more like a 15. I've never seen a better one. It was truly a wonder to behold.

I'm thrilled bright colours are back. I started skiing in the Neon Nevica era - it was fun to dress up for skiing.
Then the clothes became boring: black, black, black - even brown!
Result: everyone looked the same.
Skiing is fun. Lets have outfits that shout out loud.

@gad, I found this website whilst looking for a new suit http://willyfinder.com/product-category/buy/mens/ski-suits/
Some cracking options on there! I didn't order anything from them so have no idea about their reputability (if that's a word).

The new stuff isn't neon, the original round of neon kit - face paint, and clothing was truly painful & great fun. I got a Elho neon hat for Christmas in 88 or 89 from my brothers. It made my eyes bleed when I was wearing it, never mind what it did to those around me. The current stuff is just "bright" Very Happy

@stevepick, there is definitely some proper neon about, it is considerably brighter than the "bright" stuff. Those wearing it look like they've been lit up.

I think it is a pity that everyone is going with moss green, blacks and browns, it was fun in the 80s when the blue sky, white snow, and multi coloured skiers were on the mountain..lol
