I feel bad for the guys who still don't have hair on the balls claiming that there is any relationship between your clothing and skiing ability. Clothing is completely dependent on how much disposable income you have (or simply spoiled from mommy and daddy) to spend on ski gear, and how much you value ski gear as opposed to other things. Ski ability is dependent largely on how often you ride, and thereby how much practice you get.
If you honestly think shitty skiers aren't allowed to wear sick and expensive gear, you either suck yourself, probably jealous, or simply can't afford it. And stop with the bullshit claiming you must have a certain level of style in order to wear it, or earn the right to wear it. That's fucking garbage and its shitty attitudes like that on the hills that ruin the sport. Go out and ride, have fun and keep your mouth shut.
