Why do some people do this

Because there’s a flood nearby (caused by my immense drip when I’m on the hill) so they roll their pants up like anyone would.
 
I’m always F’ing with my buckles getting them dialed in during the first few laps of the day. That’s the con of being a washed up bootfitter in a performance fit. Once they are feeling good I roll the pants back down. Unless you are adjusting your boots, there’s not real logistical reason other than to show off your full tilts I guess
 
I remember being 14 with skinny snow pants and thinking rolling them up made them look baggier. You’d think people would stop doing it after seeing what it looks like on camera
 
How else am I supposed to let everyone know I have Full Tilts from 2014?

If your gear is baggy and you're hiking it helps prevent stepping on the cuff of your pants, and it generally prolongs the life of your pants by not slicing up the cuff as easily with your edges.

At least, that's my pea brain logic.
 
Did this when I was younger because I saw other people do it, so I thought it was a style. I think that's why most people do it. They just see it and think it's a trend in ski fashion. After looking back on the clips when I did that, I realized it looked horrible and haven't done that since. Feel like it's mostly people who are newer to the park scene.

Sometimes I roll it up if I’m hiking a rail multiple times. Just keeps stuff out the way.

but normally I don’t cause it looks dumb asf
 
I kinda fuck with that look, can't remember doing it myself since like 2014 when I had shmedium pants to make them look more baggy like someone else mentioned

Those cammies..... man I miss the days of anticipating what they were gonna release. That was a great year for Saga
 
I've done it on warm days, to try to keep my the plastic in my boots colder so they're a little bit stiffer.

Might be placebo tho

It gets a pass if it’s from 2012-2015 in my book for sure

How do people wear sweats and ski? I can't tuck them into my boots, I can't put them over the boots. It looks kooky but sometimes you've got no other option than to bunch them up at the top of the boot, ya know? When you forget any ski pants
 
Figured I’d chime in since that is indeed me being filmed for [tag=194298]@BagOTricks[/tag]

OP, at least tag me next time, sheesh.

I do this because I hike a lot, usually riding tiny ass hills with 1 or 2 good rails. With pivot binders it saves my pant cuffs from getting too messed up from constantly taking skis on/ off. Also I unstrap my boots on lifts often which makes for easier access to buckles.

But the MAIN reason is to show off my sick Ace of Spade boots which are older than half this thread. Haters gonna hate

Growing up in the midwest I saw this all too often. Horrendous.

I’m literally stuck in Ohio. If the worst thing you’ll say about my skiing is my pants style, im doing pretty well.
 
"Hey doughboy, World War 1 ended a long time ago!" is what I say to these people.

...so, that's what I tell myself when I occasionally roll up my pants above my boots.

I’ll have too much drag friction if I ski in the nude…

Just throw it over your shoulder, or take a couple blue pills and it’ll help you balance and act as a spear
 
My pants are too long so I have to roll them up when I'm walking around and sometimes I forget to roll them back down once my skis are on. I've also been guilty of having only one pant leg rolled down because I got distracted by something in the lift line.

Well I’m not changing my style so if you’re a subscriber get used to my glory
 
Real talk who else fumbles around trying to get their rolled-up pant legs down on the first lap of the day? I roll mine up for the walk-up to the lift so that I don't get them all nasty and dirty and wear out the cuffs.

my renaissance ass pimp outfit for pulling up to the park only to hike the whole hoe up every time(tuck em Timmies in tight then cuff the boot like a boss)
 
Racers and jerrys do this, so it's lame either way. Racers don't have the pants to cover the boots, and if they tried to with their leggings it would look goofy lol. I don't know why jerrys do it besides it looks stupid and that's what they do. Keeping them down traps heat in as well, and prevents the possibility of snow getting in your boots. Maybe they're just lazy :|
