Skiing is an expensive hobby.
Borrow absolutely everything until you've found out if you like it.

It's like golf and scuba diving. No point in having all the gear and no idea.

Much better to have no gear and no idea

Also, if you wait until April (presuming you enjoy it)
all the knobbers that bought gear for a holiday that didn't enjoy it, will be selling their stuff on ebay.

I need to go to the outlet centre and get myself some new salopettes
Should I go for ones with braces or jsut invest in some kind of big skiing belt?

Braces. Always.

Thought so.

Braces or GTFO.

Reminds me, I haven't checked the local TK Maxx's for ski gear yet this year.

The only problem I have is that if I have the braces loose they fall off my shoulders, but if I tighten them
the crotch of my trousers cuts me in half.

i have a very good idea
I am going to hate it and I am going to suck. i don't like falling over and i don't like being cold. meh!

but the stuff I've bought i would wear for walking around in the snow, so not a disaster.

I'm not in the least bit sporty and I rather enjoyed skiing.
And you and I are so alike...
