I'm sick of seeing kids with the brightest clothes it looks so stupid. It was cool a couple seasons ago but now its just rediculous. having bright pants is ok but when you have head to toe neon its just stupid.

Every thing I buy for some reason is earth tone now. I can't help it. My Salomon jacket is brown and dark green. My pants are grey. My helmet is camo.

I look like I'm going into World War 3 whenever I ski. Oh well. Maybe next season I'll be able to buy an Oakley jacket in neon green with bright orange pants.

Ya, I think everybody should wear dull grey's / white. Snow Camo is the best. That way when the slope rips their buddies can completely lose sight of them and have no Idea where to start a search.

last year i boarded with brown pants, and a grey/ black coat.  I hated it because in all the video clips except a few i bleded in with the backround trees rocks etc.  mainly the cameramans fault.  So this year i got a dull yellow coat that has one arm brown (sessions!) and its perfect i think.  not to bright but still shows up nicely.

oh and i have the same brown pants and i think my outerwear looks pretty dopealicious.  but ya i dont so much like the all really brightly colored outerwear.

Metallic stuff would be cool. They should start blending colors like dark blue to lighter blue

Bright colours are the shit. Waaay better for photos and filiming. Especially in the PNW, where its greybird pretty much all the time.

i like fluo green pants and mustard jackets.....

for skis, they should be plain, but the underside of the ski needs neon so big-airs are much cooler, especially if you cross ya skis....

How about you dont give a fuck about what other are wearing on only care about yourself and let people wear what they like. How bout you just go out and enjoy skiing because some people cant and not complain about others. Go out and have fun

i like it a lot to a level....some of it is too flashy wierd....but its better than being all brown ( the color of dirt and shit) I HAAATE Brown as a clothing color.    Color also makes it easier to notice your friends across the mtn or on epic pow days.......on the other hand it helps get you caught by ski patrol when you do bad things.

I think its all personal preference. I wear bright colors sometimes, sometimes more dull colors. But Bright colors are easier with filming.

Im tired of seeing so much bright outerwear..

I remember thinking it was sick a few seasons ago, but so did half the kids on the mountain and now I swear the park is fluorescent green.

I personally have always liked a nice noticeable color to set myself apart from the crowd, not to mention it makes you easy to find if you're meeting up somewhere. But this season I picked up some darker tones - My jacket and pants are both darker colors now, but have small areas of crazy designs and colors.

But yeah I despise the attention whores who think they were the original person to think up crazy color combinations.

I am not completely sick of it. I personallly don't wear alot of bright colors only thing is my jacket which is green (orage and not that bright at all) but i think it is good for when you are riding with a group b/c then the other members of the group can spot one another out and not get lost. Also it is cool to see GOOD color combinations i think it looks stupid once the skiier has toooo many colors going on

With 99 percent of my skiing days being cloudy on the east coast, i cheer myself up by dressing like a clown, which is a big change from last year, when everything I wore had brown in it.

in my opinion, i feel that neon has sort of become a symbolic of really good skiers. So when i see a kid rocking neon looking like he's cool but bitches out on the smallest of jumps, i tend to hate it.

Last year I think I wore every color of the rainbow at once..

I would still be rockin kind of the same, if my pants didn't split all in the crotch. And my jacket wasn't covered in rust. Plus everything I had was XXXL.. it got out of hand at the end of the season.

So now I'm wearing a grey tweed jacket with black pants. It should be a change, but at least now I wont look so homeless anymore.

yea it is very symbolic to see a good skier with bright clothes because they are filming or what ever. but lately I've just been in the park and seeing kids with teh brightest shit go up to a box or a rail and i expect them to do something awsome but they jsut fall on their ass. basically I'm sick of gapers wearing bright colors. so if you suck don't wear bright colors haha
