Skiers get cut off and are understandably annoyed. But skiers need to appreciate that wall hits are part of the sport of snowboarding and be more accepting. What skiers may see as radical unpredictable behaviors by snowboarders are actually quite predictable to the people doing them. It s the nature of any sport to go for the max. No more size 48s.
Cargo pants are good, preferably with a loose fit, and the more pockets, the better.
Skiers like one-piece suits, especially during deep snow encounters. But suits are suits, and they re totally uncool, like you re going to work or something. Go for seam-sealed durable fabrics. Burton snowwear is hot now, but it s on the pricey side. The key is layers of stuff that can be added or subtracted according to the weather or what your friends think.
