I'm looking for any tips on how to make a regular pair of skinny jeans, into a somewhat acceptable pair of pants to wear skiing (waterproofing, making them warmer, etc.)
just take a pair of not too tight jeans and cut the leg vertically so you can fit em over your boot. Then put a few pairs of longjohns underneath so you stay warm. Mine wont even get too wet if i fall a couple of times. Definately not for the coldest weather tough.
