I've seen some bad ones this season, especially during the Parisian holidays (even dark-siders have been spotted in FRSs); however this has to be the LOUDEST!

So what harm is it doing?
Live and let live! Who makes these fashion rules?
I think she looks great....... oops, can't find a snigger emoticon!

If I can find it, I also ran after a woman in a blue all in one who posed for me and my camera with her poodle.........that was also in a matching all in one! I kid you not, it was hilarious, especially as she was evidently quite proud of their ensemble

And there was me worried that my shiny new blue Giro 9.9 helmet clashed with my red ski jacket

Can i just say, it's not just these foreigners that wear these funky suits. I saw a lady wearing one at my local dry slope centre. Me and the mrs almost fell over when we saw her

I've seen many prime examples in the last week in France, but my husband thought I was winding him up when I told him to take pictures!! (cos I'm only a mere girlie I'm not allowed to take charge of the camera; it's a bit like the remote control)
I do have a picture of me & my instructor that has a very scary pair of trousers in the background. I'll see if I can zoom in & sharpen it up. They seemed to follow me round the pistes all week

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Be careful when judging skiers by their outfits. It was my first time skiing in Squaw Valley and being unfamiliar with the terrain I was by myself on a chairlift and the chair in front of me had two young ladies on it chatting and laughing.
One had a powder blue stretch outfit with fringes on the sleeves and pants and the other had a rose outfit and a cowboy hat with feathers on it, so I concluded I would follow those ski bunnies and take the easy way down for my first run.
I did, and they made a right turn and went out of sight. I followed and found myself in a chute where at every turn my knees met my chin and the snow I broke lose rolled ahead of me an I never caught up to it.
I stopped half way down to catch my breath and watched the two snow bunnies on the lower half skiing in perfect synchronization, just floating down.
That was long ago and since then I swore not to make those judgments again, but you are free to do so, except what if the lady in the suit above ripped better than most?

You know it makes sense.

Fair comment Ott! But in this case I can tell you, the lady in question was taking a drag lift to the beginning of a very gentle blue run, where I spotted her honing her skills quite regularly as I took the same lift for another link.
From what I recall, she had a solid, if a little nervous technique, and was at the stage of skiing the same run to gain confidence at a guess. Perhaps wearing such a screaming outfit helped in some way?

Live and let live I say - after all, if they didn't wear them, we'd have less people to take the .... out of

Day-Glo one-piece ski suits are very popular with Japanese skiers, many of whom can really rip.
Also, they make great landmarks in bad light conditions!

I think it's a bit like golf. You see some very silly tartan trousers and clashing shirts on the course. Somehow it's one of those sports where people with a perfectly normal dress sense go colourblind!

Well, I think singling out groups of individuals for personal criticism is a bad idea...unless they're boarders

Could have scored maximum points if the wearer had a mullet as well.

There's a bloke in the 3 valleys who wears a long woollen trench coat. He looks like he was on the way to ZZ Top concert but decided to stick on a pair of boots and go skiing instead. I was laughing at him until somebody pointed out that he was a very good skier.
The Austrians have confirmed that piste police will now control things on the slopes, it's only a matter of time before Fashion police are introduced.

I'm reminded of the strange headware I saw a young girl wearing this year, imagine if you will a huge afro haircut about 2feet in diameter as the covering of a balaclava i.e it covers the whole head and face, yes she was skiing in this thing and yes it was very wierd

That is certainly bright. But hey I can live with it. I used to wear a white all in one until I got worried that I would be lost in the snow!!!!!!
