Getting dressed in the parking lot

[jhyatt]

you don't need a piss break if you are wearing waders

With my father-in-law, we used to make a 3hr late night drive to make it to a duck hole by shooting light and then turn around and drive straight home. After a couple times of this rush-rush, I offered to drive and before we headed home, I said I am taking a moment to change out of waders-it’s really not that hard to strip them off when wearing wader pants underneath. We got home and in-law complains to my wife that it was silly that I took the time to change. This guy had been wearing sweaty ass neoprene waders while driving for decades and when my wife said “well dad, it makes sense to change” it’s like he had never even considered it. He is also the same asshole that would drag his whole family 6 hrs straight without a piss break, the mother in law said she was thankful when I came around and insisted on a piss break because it wasn’t just her asking. My old man and step dad were the same way; forget this. I will always travel comfortably especially with my family in-tow.

I am not wearing gear, for any activity, if the drive is longer than 30 minutes, and even if I have most my ski gear on for a short drive, I am changing socks before booting up.

I'm fortunate if I do a morning session on a weekday, I don't need to undress in the parking lot and subject people to that horror show. My office building has a gym and a changing room/showers.

I also like to wear ski socks around the house. Not the thin performance socks I wear on the hill, but the nice thick "comfort socks" that make your feet hurt when you put your foot in a ski boot. You truly haven't lived until you have experienced a nice thick wool ski sock on a wood floor in the middle of winter while making pancakes.

wow, some very funny shit here.

i always dress for the hill at home, have never found ski pants/base layer uncomfortable or too hot (see automobile climate control). 45 min ride or 4hr ride all the same. then again i often wear ice packs on my knees part of the ride up.

i do wait til i arrive at the lot to switch into (dry) ski socks and i never do the drive in my boots.

i drive home in ski pants, gaper i am, unless they're soaked. car has a heater and tech fabrics dry fast. unless it's spring and i change into shorts.

just about always boot up in the car. base lodge is for the gapers

well are you changing in the parking lot, in the lodge, or at home?

But I’m a little lord fauntleroy.

I'll take "things I did not expect to read on the TRGs today" for $1000, Alex.

...I’ve also been known to powder my balls with gold bond before a spring skin. Because fuck swamp ass in April

Ball Cheese vs Swamp Ass... two different anamulez. Ball Cheese is more analogous to Toe Jam

these ^^ are great to sit on while putting on your boots in the p-lot or having a beer apres ski,

turn it upsidedown for a waterproof boot holder on the ride home and you won't have a wet spot,

of course some people don' mind the wet spot

^^^Except don't give your money to those uline folks. Find a different squatty potty substitute^^^

They donate money to election deniers and far right candidates.

Who fucking cares?

Perhaps question your impulse to doubt the competence of people who don't behave like you instead.

though last year someone decided to get out in middle of a snowstorm, to take their boots off in the middle of a moving redsnake, I thought that was a bit much. Think you would slap on the boots before getting on the road one few times I passed a car going downhill

A 4 hour drive in ski pants? What if you drip chipotle ranch sauce on them?

This is exactly what base lodges are for.

This is very true.

[Grizz]

I had no idea hyperhidrosis was a TGR plague. You guys are some sweaty silver backs.

Other than boots I wear my gear to the hill. What takes a few minutes to do at home where it's dry, takes longer while you're dancing around, getting snowed/rained on, standing in a parking lot. Probably take off my coat if I'm driving longer than a half hour. Thought this was SOP of the experienced skier. Surprised it's not.

Yeah, thats very different. You’re actually soaking wet, and the weather probably isn’t that cold or actively snowing.

When i lived in socal and surfed every morning, i very much so changed outside. But comparing apples to oranges is what that sounds like

Sounds like you get dressed in the parking lot.

I've done it many different ways and none of them where interesting or worthy of a thread.

This is a straight up alpine zone thread. Next you all will be cracking tired inside jokes while bickering about who makes the best hand warmers. Fuck off. Can't any of you old farts ski any more?

As soon as I can put my surgically repaired foot back in a ski boot I'll remind you drooling, doddering, fools that you don't need to give up on yourselves just yet. I'm not sure how I'll pull it off but I'll get a decent trip report up before the end of the season.

And you folks doing Euro BBI better deliver some stoke beyond a few semi-focused pics of gray beards nodding off to sleep half drunk by the fire after consuming half a mug of glugg or Bombardino, or some other unpleasant, hot concoction the inn keeper talks you into trying. If you don't I'll personally put dog shit under all your doorhandles.

Solid Friday night rant. 7.5/10. Nice work.

I read this in the Old-Timer voice. It seemed to click.

Just rallied from bridger to North Seattle in my bibs and so did my daughter. What tf is so hard about driving in ski pants? They have zips for fucks sake.

Who said driving in ski pants was hard? It's just that some people like swamp ass less than you. Nothing to get all worked up about.
