Hey dudes,

As I sit here with zero hours on my body (lifetime) and all my new gear and prep for my 1st assault on the bunny slope with my board(I need to learn to "skate" first - so sayeth the book!), I reflect on all the stuff I have and wonder if I have everything. I realize, I don't have a hat!!! (got a helmet, but probably will need a hat for when I am hanging around outside, taking a break, or whatever).

Since I don't (yet) know how to ride, I at least have to look cool. I have having trouble visualizing a "cool" hat (stocking hat, cold weather, cover the ears, kinda thing).

Can anyone give me an idea what the groovy guys wear hat wise so I can go get this final piece of the puzzle??

the noob
embarrassed to ask but more afraid of being emabarrsed by wearing a lame hat =)

Thanks dude. I will check them out.

Will go with a solid color.

What about "Style" of hat? I have seen just regular ones that are nothing but a stocking hat that fit tightly over the head and some with ear flaps and strings that hang down.

I just wanna meld with the crowd. Gonna be enough folks laughing at my inability to board, don't want them a laughing at my hat!!

Just tell the first hot chick that walks by, "I love your ass. Can I wear it as a hat?"

Grim....does that approach work very often? If the 1st hot chick won't offer me the hat do I wait for the 2nd hot chick or do I lower the hottness rating to improve my odds?

These type of hats would seem to come with a built in scarf that I can, perhpas, wrap around my shoulders for added warmth and comfort!

Rockin' idea!! I will most definitely post pics (but hope I don't have to reduce the hottness scale too much before I get to wear one of these hats!)

I keep wondering why it took me so long to get into snowboarding. I shoulda been doing this years ago!

Dude, if you want to play the fashion game, rent Zoolander, and have a "walk-off" with your friends. When your on the hill, worry about staying warm, not trying to be the best dressed girl at the ball.

Here is all the fashion you need:

One word: Underarmor. I wore my hood/mask in the rain and kept bone dry. If you don't like your face covered, you can wear it in different ways so that you don't always look like a ninja. The full face mask that sedition posted didn't fit me properly so I went with a form fitting version. You can see my white one in my avatar. I also have a black one and I believe they make many colors if you're worried about fashion.

well im a big fan of bomber hats, you know those hats that the russian pilots wore that are totally fuckin sick. BUT for people who are waaaay more down to earth get a nordic beanie, those beanies with ear flaps and little tassles those are awesome.

I hate f-ing bandannas
they are the epiphany of homoness where I come from. I mean common, get a face mask

(1) "Epiphany of homoness" Say what? As a general rule, people around here find that useing homophobia (or racism, or sexism, etc) to make a point is not cool. Please keep that in mind.

(2) Bandannas, imho, are only rocked by wannabe slopeside-gangsta kids. The whole concept is really funny. I mean, come on, your an affluent white kid, out in the woods, on the side of a mountain, with a a bunch of other affluent white kids trying to look like a tundra-cowboy / Nordic-50 Cent? Too funny. Plus, if you wanna keep you face warm, get something that actually works (like a face mask).
