I dont really care one way or another-it makes sense when walking around and I personally do it from time to time. To the people that said it doesn't tear up their pants skiing is just dumb. Unless you have really really shitty pants, or they have been used for 5+ years, then they will most likely not tear to shit. They might have some tears, but they shouldn't get that bad, and lets be honest now, do you really need the bottoms of the legs if you are gonna roll them up anyways? Just don't use the excuse "I don't want to tear my pants on the mountain"... because you won't. If you are gonna rock it while skiing then you should support it, not make up an excuse.
