How to ski in a skirt?

Question

I'm a young 16 year old Christian teenage girl. :) I am from a very Biblical family and so we all wear skirts pretty much 24/7 around here. That's summer and winter. It's not actually hard and they are much warmer than pants are. Trust me! :)

Anyway, my family is going on a ski trip to the Sierra Nevada to go skiing... now ordinarily I would wear snow pants but since snow pants are worn by men, I do not feel like I Biblically can wear them since men and women are supposed to wear separate clothing types and styles, etc. However, it might be a bit cold up there in a skirt,even a maxi skirt so I'm wondering how I should dress to be comfortable and warm without wearing pants (I have a nice North Face jacket to use as a top so don't worry about that aspect of it).

This may seem crazy to you non-believers out there but this is what our family does as part of our faith and I would appreciate legitimate answers instead of "you're crazy" and "just wear snow pants". I don't want to wear them, period.

Best answer goes to person who writes a well thought answer (around 2-3 paragraphs) and gives links to any websites, etc if needed.

Answer 1

Can't believe all the idiot answers here! I'm a guy and researched skirts a lot and have worn them. They are perfect! You can buy thermal ski skirts from: http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=879239002&vid=2&tid=atsp1r&kwid=1&ap=14 and http://www.skhoop.us/skirts-all.html See the pictures and how good they look. Lots more freedom than pants and warm! Win win. Many on sale now and you will stand out from the rest! Enjoy the skirts while skiing. I have the long down skirt, the heidi, and mini SKHoop skirts and if I can get away with wearing them so can you!

Ski Skirt

Answer 3

I have seen several ladies skiing in skirts, one of them a nun wearing her habit which included a long skirt.



Most people wear thermal underwear under their ski pants, so that would be a start for you. The next layer would be some lighter / thinner ski pants and then you could wear your skirt over the both. If you can not wear the ski pants under your skirt, another layer of thermal underwear would work too.



As long as the skirt is full enough you shouldn't have too much of a problem. If your skirt is too tight around the knees to feet, you will have problems making your wedge / pizza.



Enjoy ..... have fun, and don't worry about what others might say about you wearing a skirt skiing. In the "old days" that's what all the ladies were wearing !!!!!

Answer 4

Whatever you are feeling the preferred in would let him observe that you're laid back and self-assured, and that is clearly a turn on for guys

Answer 5

I'm a Christian too but we obviously have way different beliefs. Snow pants are worn by men and women. They are completely unisex. You just don't want to wear pants at all and that's okay but you cannot go skiing in a maxi skirt. That's completely absurd. Even the girls on that TV show about the strict Christian family with all the kids are allowed to wear pants for certain things. You can too.
