With this information displayed under our avatar on each post, the viewer will be better informed of the perspective from which our posts were written.

If you are having a hard time figuring out what you skiing style is, this article might be helpful:

There is actually a lot of good reading in there ;)

Ben, buy a pair of the East German army pants. They're top shelf quality. Take them to a nice Québécois taylor with a flair for style. Soon you will be stylin' in a cool new pair of wool knickers. At $25 US for the pants, you're off to an inexpensive start

Actually I already own one of the most BC-proof knickers ever made, just hadn't started using them yet: the Norrona Fjellnikker. These sweet knickers are made of a double layer of very tight ventile-like cotton. The hardest part, for me, was to find a nice pair of wool knicker socks. Turns our my mom had a pair buried in her closet and gave it to my partner a while back when I was not looking!

Anyone have a pair of Wigwam snowflake knicker socks kicking around?

It would be nice to have an extra pair of knickers so I was looking into the Italian army wool knickers. One thing that bothers me about the wool army pants (already have a pair), is that there is not zipper on the front, just bottoms. Such a pain when you have to write a message in the snow at -20C.

But I think I found something even more appropriate and there are like 800 pairs in stock! Plenty for all us ski freaks:

They've also get great looking wool pants for y'all wool fans!

Too bad the whole shenanigan smells like a scam...

Hey Fisheater, make sure you fill out the NEW profile fields! That actually what this thread is all about! ;)
