Anybody skiing tele in snowboard pants? Pros/cons/no dif?
Got a good deal on a quality product, but seems like they're not gonna feel right with zippers for boots and vents on the inside of the legs.

I would wear snowboard pants if I liked them. I have a pair of ski pants with the vent zippers on the inside of the thighs and I think they work better than the ones on the outside probably because of the proximity to the femoral artery.

I have a Volcom set for cold weather. After a few years the bottoms tatered and I had new cordura ones made. Nice and roomy with articulated knees for deep turns. Work good.
