Pussies! There was a time that it was the mark of a good skier! Boot flare jeans, jean jacket, Frostline vest and a Moriarty hat was the mark of a good skier - you don't get wet if you don't fall down!
That was back when there were only 5 seasons in VT, now the 6th is "Stick Season!"
It's a rookie play. The film of him attempting to ski on a bunny run suggests he's never skied before. Oh, and Mr. Brit, forgive us, we'll fix this shit.
Pardon me! And, really, tell your neighbors that we're still friends with the rest of the world, and we remember how to overthrow a king. (With all respect to Charlie the 3rd or course.) 😜
It’s also a very specific one! I’m from Texas and went skiing in Colorado one time (never again) and all I heard was the Colorado people making fun of Texans. Jeans came up a lot.
Texans do have a tendency to come over here to Colorado and New Mexico, flash their money around, and buy $3,000 worth of skis and boots they don't know how to use. And yes, ski in jeans and a Cowboys Starter jacket.
I’m in Seattle and recently saw someone’s multiple pairs of jeans on the carousel at the dry cleaners. In 40 years of patronizing dry cleaners I’d never seen that before.
Guess the client never got that dirty! Or maybe the pants were just starched and pressed there after being washed. There are stretchers that are used after washing them to help form the crease once starched. And then they are pressed.
To be fair, dry cleaners also offer laundry services. Getting mens' dress shirts laundered and pressed is big. Someone traveling may have thrown their jeans in to be laundered as well.
Texans aren’t well-liked in Colorado except in Pagosa Springs, which they basically own. Texans act like their state is the best, but ironically they spend a lot of time in Colorado. I actually had one Texan tell me “that’s not how we do it in Texas”. So I told him that’s where he belongs.
That was the whole thing, my dumbass statesmen showing up to ski in their cowboy hats and stretched wranglers. Like come on they (Coloradans) hate us enough. This was more than 20 years ago. But yeah, embarrassing.
All other things aside, you don’t ski in any heavy fabric that isn’t waterproof because you can get frostbite. Vermont is COLD. I lived there. ITS REALLY COLD.
Jeans skiers are ppl who think are too good to fall but are usually the worst ones on the slopes. Don’t see too many of them now but it was a big thing in the 90s. 😂
people who have never skied before ski in jeans. the insult is that he's an idiot. a dilettante. a noob. also, people who have never skied before are a danger to others on the slopes. in a perverse way the jeans are an obvious sign to stay as far away from that person as possible.
When 700+ Vermonters show up on a cloudy Saturday to protest a dude who has been VP for hardly a month…maybe something is going on that ain’t your usual politics.
The Vermont subreddit has been HOPPING this week with plans. He moved his plans to stay somewhere else - we found him anyway. Our governor told us to “be nice.” Fuck that.
You are all spectacular✨️
You take my breath away✨️

Just when you thought the MAGA cult couldn’t get more embarrassing, they’re now proudly declaring that skiing in jeans is normal — all to defend J.D. Vance from a “Vance skis in jeans” protest sign.
Im not a fan of it personally, its origins feel classist because generally ski equipment/gear is expensive, so people skiing in jeans are often people without the means for the gear trying out the sport, or just having fun.
Good explanation! Let me add that JD’s ‘white trash’ past makes ‘skiing in jeans’ particularly painful 🎯 Hopefully. Call me crude but he was paid for writing a book about it. And made his name known.
Science proves Jesus. Empirical scientific proof of Christ and scripture comes through the eucharistic miracles performed at Roman Catholic mass https://youtu.be/xTInS5_xczg?si=U0ap78A7wepLnBtu
I agree with JD: "I think Trump is a demagogue, and I think the people who are voting for him are people who are understandably upset about the way the world is changing, but they’re being taken advantage of by somebody who is a demagogue and somebody who’s playing to their worst instincts.”
I love it... so much. The only thing better would be protestors lined up along A1A in Ponte Vedra during The Players Championship to heckle Trump's motorcade with "TRUMP DRIVES CARTS ON GREENS" signs. 😆
Mad River Glen is 3 miles away and probably easier for the Secret Service to secure. (You also have to be a good skier to handle it.) But they're free spirits there - the only skiing co-op in the country - and this is their sign today.
"Undisclosed location" is what they're calling it, but a number of Vermonters who spotted his motorcade (and took pictures) apparently managed to recognize the terrain and figure out where he's at based on knowledge of the roads.
Coverage from the small VT papers (but what else is there) .. VTDigger, Valley Reporter... all week has been locals' bafflement that he chose this area or even VT. Maybe the draw was the Pitcher Inn, most expensive in New England, but he didn't even get to stay there after all
I wonder whether Charles will now find himself indisposed. The state visit has to stay in place, but the government may decide they have to make some concession to UK public opinion. If Charles 'falls ill' and has to be 'quarantined' a few days before the visit I'd not be surprised.
I would love to fly to Scotland to join in. I hate these fucking people so bad. I’ve never felt this type of hate before in my life. This is truly what it means to hate.
From the Ryan Reynolds movie, Just Friends, said about the dweeb-turned-evil jerk, Dusty Dinkleman, played by Chris Klein: "He's from Jersey. He skis in his jeans."
And yeah - it *totally* fits.

A: cowboy boots are for assholes!
Q: What's the difference between a cowboy hat and a tampon?
A: Hmmmm? 🤔 I can't think of one.
But skiing in jeans is mocked heavily 😂
I love the mountains, but never got the appeal of skiing.
I haven't skied in jeans, but I have tubed in jeans.
0/10. Do not recommend.

He got to #1 - "cotton is the worst fabric to wear when it's cold" - and I said, "I get it." 😅
Plus, if you have to ride in a cold car or on a cold bus, your pants will never thaw out. And when they do, they’ll be wet and you will chafe.
Not to mention you look like a dork. Just borrow some ski pants.
I'd make a "Vance rubs chili in his genitals" sign immediately and start escalating from there.

On the slopes thems fightin' words.
(It's also 100% on point and hilarious)
Despite being in Texas, I’m a lover of pretentious vocabulary! 💙

Would be a shame if loud chants interrupted the skiing adventure.
'our country' & 'plus Ukraine'
'our country' & 'plus Ukraine'
