I can never achieve equilibrium. I wear a thin base layer then my shell and end up drenched in sweat on a 25⁰ storm day but freezing at the top of the mountain. I cannot safely wear less clothing. I realized that half the reason I want to bail after 1 BC lap every time is I've sweat through my base, no hat, no jacket, my hair is a wet frozen mop, and the thought of being cold and sweaty for another hour is not appealing. Meanwhile my friend is skinning in a puffy complaining about cold fingers.

Well first of all, because we're exhibitionists. You like it, don't lie. And second, because driving for 2 hrs in Goretex is a recipe for swamp ass.

I quit worrying about what dumbshits do long ago as long as they are not directly endangering me.
ETA I regularly get dressed outside at put in or take out on river trips but this is in mild weather and i have taken to using changing robes.
Last weekend i got dressed in my drysuit at the house then drove to the surf wave about 20+ minutes away. Mine has susspenders built in so i can wear it like bibs or pants and not be full Michelin man until splash time.Last edited by SB; 02-22-2024 at 03:52 PM.

So let me get this straight. I’ve got an hour drive to ski and it’s 10 degrees out. I’m to dress for skiing in 10 degree weather, taking into account I’m headed to Sugarbush and there’s a 90% chance I’ll be stuck on a lift at so point during the day so I’ll need an extra layer. Even with the AC on full blast I can’t keep the car at 10 degrees to not over heat. So my move is to drive the hour will all the windows down so that when I get to the parking lot I don’t offend someone by putting ski pants and jacket on over my base layers?
I’ll give it a shot Saturday, supposed to have windchills below zero. If you see a 4Runner headed south on I89 with windows down and sunroof open, ask for change. I’ll have my helmet and googles on as well, need to hit the ground running.

only way to win this thread is to put a full ski outerwear kit at home before driving to the mountain and then get undressed in the parking lot to go skiing in the buff

or to save time, get undressed in the lift line. Or on the lift.
the real explanation is chicks don't like to wear clothes, so they wear just their long underwear, but then crank the heat in the car to stay warm, forcing their men to also change in the lot to avoid sweating in the car.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

I wear wool pendleton shirts and jeans to work 3/5 days during the fall/winter/spring. Great midlayer. Gives no hints to my colleagues as to what i did that morning, or am about to do that afternoon.
I only ever need to swap ski bibs for jeans in the parking lot when coming from, or going to work.
Is this all really that difficult? Change at the hill, or dont. Do what works for you... who the fuck cares.

Getting dressed in the parking lot
The only time I’m changing into ski clothes or vice versa in the lot is if coming from/going to work.
Or if I’m skiing an obscure mtn with a bunch of miscreants that I have to drive 3hrs to.

How do you feel about people who boot up in the parking lot? Is it okay to leave your boot bag in the cafeteria if you don't have a locker? Inquiring minds want to know. Is it okay to leave your skis on the snow if all the racks are full at lunch or should you wait until a spot opens up? These things matter.

I live 10 minutes from the ski hill, but I don't put my ski socks on until I'm booting up at the bottom. Ski socks are for skiing.

our local mountain had 50 cent lockers in the lodge basement, easy to change and store clothes
the Silver Overlords put in new lockers that cost $8 per day ......
more of those lot-changers since then

Getting dressed in the parking lot
Boots go on at the house. I mean c’mon if you haven’t driven to the hill in boots during a dump have you really lived?? No locker? You gotta wear your boot bag on your back all day. Full racks you say?? Real question is why aren’t you just snacking on the chair lift and lapping bell to bell??

Many years ago on a sunny spring day, while I was at the car grabbing something to eat and dropping a layer, two nubile 20-something ladies pulled up next to me. They threw out two car floormats and stood/sat on them while they stripped down to bras and thongs before donning their riding gear.
The experience was not unpleasant
