When the sun comes out on the slopes, so do the personalities. Shorts, tutus, and butterfly wings are all classic outfits that can be seen on a sunny spring day. This is one of my favorite parts of spring skiing, putting on something funny and usually coming home with an awkward tan.
Some ski resorts even dedicate entire days to funky outfits and positive vibes, usually labeled as a gaper day. A resort’s closing day is also the perfect venue for your funkiest outfit. This element of ski culture emphasizes having fun in the sun, and skiing automatically feels less serious while simultaneously more high-energy.
Jean shorts, or jorts, have been a key element to spring outfits in recent years. With some people even going as far as skiing in just a swimsuit. The resort suddenly feels like a judgment-free zone. Your skiing ability seems far less important than your outfit and the amount of fun your having.
Spring skiing brings on events like pond-skims and concerts that help contribute to the inclusive energy. The end of the season always brings positive vibes and cool outfits. Dressing up with your friends makes those less-than-ideal spring turns all the more fun and can spice up the repetitive days of exclusively skiing slushy groomers.
So bring out the skinny skis and wide smiles as the season is beginning to wind down. Lose the googles, bring the glasses, and don’t forget, the most important part of skiing is having fun.
