Landed on the door mat this morning, look like its a choice of dayglo or garish if you want new clothing this season!
Oakley Airbrake goggles, me want ones!

Big Mountain: This look is all about skiing away from groomed terrain - from lift access off piste to hiked back country terrain and big mountain steep and deep. GORE-TEX fabric shell garments dominate this sector worn over low bulk lofted layers. Colour palate is edgy and bright and fit is relaxed but aggressively engineered for high-energy performance.
Key Brands: Norrøna and Arc’teryx are the brands that push the boundaries here and Scott are the new kids on the block to watch!
Favourite Resort: Chamonix
Freestyle: Youthful urban inspired skiwear for the freeski gang using the whole mountain as a funpark! Style is very military and workwear inspired with dark neutral and earth colours sometimes ‘popped’ with bright pants and goggles. Relaxed fits dominate and jackets are often cut longer, giving great slope to street wearability.
Key Brands: The North Face, Quiksilver and Roxy.
Favourite Resort: Verbier
Alpine: This is a very ‘front side’ resort look celebrating sleek athletic style for high speed piste charging. The feel is wealthy, fast and streamlined, with aggressively engineered lines. Colour palate is opulently dark or sporty jewel bright. Fabrics are high performance and stretch. Essential après ski/urban garments compliment this sector with luxurious down jackets, warm earflap hats and lots of luxury fake fur!
Key Brands: Spyder, Eider, Schöffel and Salomon all effortlessly combine high-end performance with luxury whilst Barts accessorises with panache.
Favourite Resort: Courchevel 1800

yep, makes me want to buy anything but all those brands. By contrast, S+R have worked out that less is more, they put hardly any copy in the clothing section of their book.

Personally, I sport the 'liquorice allsorts' look purely because each individual item has been bought for fit plus material and construction quality. Nothing matches!

Aren't most boots see thru now? (Mine are) - Can't see see-thru ski clothing catching on

You know it makes sense.

Samerberg Sue, No orange as in Daleboots, any colour you like as long as they're orange. on the clothing subject I'll stick with the old North Face gear for another year.

Would you believe it... Norrona don't make undies  Arcteryx do (and they're a bargain at forty quid) but they're boring black. Whatever is the world coming to?

Spot the mistake on page 161. Here's a clue: it's got something to do with Head.
