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 :-)

Ski Chic - One Piece

 Poster: A snowHead

Whats your thoughts on one piece suits?

I fancied trying one so I bought one from ebay, brand new with tags, it had been sitting in a wardrobe unworn for some time, I think its from the early/mid nineties.

Its metallic dark green with brilliant white flashes. I've bought a pair of white carrera glasses to finish the look which I think will come back into fashion as a result of the new government.

The problem with one pieces is that you either think you look 1.) Cool, in a retro sort of way or 2.) Think you are the funny, wacky japester who everyone wants to ski with.

You are neither. You are merely tragic. People are embarrassed for you, and your family are humiliated. You dance with your thumbs up, don't you? And probably wear novelty socks.

sean1967, get thee off to La Plagne - you'll fit in just fine.

But, there again, I can't talk. I'm sat here with my Wallace and Gromit socks on and my Berghaus one-piece (circa 1990) hanging on the back of the bedroom door. Oh, and I'm off to morris dance practice tonight too!

I don't want to fit in! Fitting in is for The Voice of Reason, it just a bit of fun. It started when we bought one for my friend who organised last year's trip to say thanks.

Ah the eternal Fartbag question! undeniably practical for the gent on the hill, but stigmatised by those 70's colours and bodyhugging fits and the delights of polyester fabrics.

Like wearing shoulder pads to the office, but then if you are so worried about fashion and your image your probably a boarder Toofy Grin Toofy Grin

If its comfy and you just dont care what others think then go for it.......

......who does actually care what others think??? after all you will probably ever meet them again in your life Puzzled and there are plenty sadder sights on the hill these days....

I had a pair os Salomon boots - bright yellow affairs from the 90's and had been on 6/7 ski holidays. in 2009 I tried to sell on eBay without one bid, then I put them back in with the title Retro Ski Boots and had a bidding frenzy Very Happy Ended up selling for over £35 Shocked , so some dude like sean1967, could look 'cool' with his one piece on a lads trip wink

Forget the fashion statement, lets talk practicalities.

One piece = toilet faff.

Got to virtually strip off including your jacket/top half every time you want to sit on the throne !

It's bad enough using alpine bogs as it is !

We had a lovely game of FartBagger going in Samoens last year. Basically you have to photograph the bagger, with bonus points for horrificness of the target bag, and one of your party furiously mugging next to said bagger. Points are lost should the bagee be wearing the bag for ironic purposes.

For example, the following shows a mere semi-dreadful (5/10) a mugging bonus of 4/5 points (could've been closer) and a Probable Seriousness Factor (or PSF) of 5/5, this scores 14/20.

Richard_Sideways, Can you just clarify which punter is being 'mugged off' in the photo? Is it the guy on the right, or the gaper on the left?

Just make sure you plan your 'comfort' stops in plenty of time. Fartbags are unattractive but even more so with the strategic addition of a wet patch. Laughing

Does the inner gaiter do a god job or a bad job of channelling water inside your boot?

Yes, gaiter does do a good job when outside boots, boots undone in that shot, hence general disarray - early morning, not clocked on for the day yet. Blimey, didn't expect spanish inquisition over contents of my boot (for future reference, strata normally goes outer/gaiter,boot, sock, sweat, crunchy bits, foot meat, assorted bones)

I've not got enough pennies to actually have one of these in the real world rolling eyes even if I did it is almost impossible to get your hands on one.

One'sies are making a come back though, for those big powder days or super cold conditions they are ideal. This is the Norrana Lofoten one and Sweet Protection do one that is pretty smart too. Tight 80s neon coloured ones are also the bomb.
