I may be working at woodward this summer and I need a new pair of pants. I have no idea what looks good. I have black ft boots and a pair of K2 recoil skis.
Let me know

I bought a pair of Armada ruffian pants, and they have by far been the best pants i have skied. lots of extra pockets, airvents and accessories without looking really complicated and packed with features. A bit pricy but overall worth the money. Steezy too. :)

Depends what you want in a pant. Are you looking for a really good goretex pro shell pant or do you just want somthing baggy and 'steezy'. Obviously a arcteryx pant is going to be much higher quality then say a saga ect but will also cost upwards of twice as much. So its why I asked how much you want to spend. If you only have 200 to spend the best pant would be differnt to if you had say 600 to spend.

Trew makes by far the best bibs in the biz, and they make a killer regular pant as well.

Ballin' on a budget= sessions legit. those things are gnarly as fuck and super durable I can vouch for that. They also have a radical fit and are cheap as fuck for the quality. so far the best bang for your buck pants I have found

I'm looking for something moderately baggy and I do not have a ton of money to drop on them at the time.

I love my Under Armour Snocone pants. They're wicked comfortable, never wet, and are way cheaper than other alternatives. In my experience though, Trew and Flylow use the absolute best quality materials and still don't cost obscene amounts of cash like Arcteryx or Mammut. Plus they have a much more new school style (especially Trew).

if you want a burly pair id look at some of the snowboarder pants. DC and those have really nice fabrics and arent super pricey.

I ride SAGA monarch 3L Blackcomb but then suspend them, then I wear second pair of ski pants underneath the SAGA so i can have baggyness from the saga while the second pair underneath keeps snow out ive edited the second pair though so i dont over heat.
