Any Ski Shop Monkies


I am looking for some pants for my son. I have scoured ebay and the web and have been unable to locate what I am looking for.

I'm looking for -

Orage Mission Pants (youth) size 7 (xs) - Dark Chocolate or maybe the funky Graphon print if I can convince him it is alright to match your pants and jacket.

Thanks

You get what you get and you don't throw a fit.

You need the look if you are going to go big in the park. He is a good kid and doesn't ask for much ever.

No - if you're going to go big you simply need to go big.

No 7 year old needs any "look"...

But it is not alright.

The look has nothing to to with how big you go. Teach him to be a good skier by skiing well, not trying to dress the part. I can't tell you how often the person that looks good, is anything but. Most the time they just sit around looking the part but rarely hit the jumps, always having some excuse for not doing it. It is the guys that show up in pants held together with duct tape to watch out for.

Whoa, slow down. He has been taught to ski well and will hit just about anything you put in front of him within his ability. Here is the deal, he out grew the stuff he has been wearing for the last 2 years to the point it looks a little stupid when his pants just go past his boots. We found a 60% deal off of an Orage jacket and I was looking for the pants to go with it.


Here he is

and his little brother

Yeah, SS I know we don't have the powder of the West and we have to suffer skiing this stuff for 40 days a year.
