I don't mean big mountains or backcountry or anything like that, I just mean if you're hitting some jumps or rails at your local hill do you go for jeans or snowpants?

Cotton absorbs water then looses all insulating quality.
Snowolf makes a good point. From the tech perspective, go snow gear. Especially if you are going to spend some time on your butt... wet jeans will make you're case even worse.
Stylewise, I see it a lot on park rats... very super duper tights 80's style jeans. Not sure how comfy that is, but some will sacrifice comfort for style. If shredders are killing it in jeans, it's like they can wear anything coz they're just so damn good.

I don't even wear jeans under snowpants, thats so uncomfortable, I usually wear like pajama pants under my snowpants so much more comfortable.

And I hope your hating on fauxhawks and not mohawks.

I actually saw some skier dude rocking jeans on the mountain this afternoon. Full-on like 1980's acidwash, too. Freakin' amazing.

lol.. the fucking star guy :laugh:

i wore jeans with pajama pants underneath the first time i ever saw snow.
they got soaked and i realized what i was missing, but i sure as fuck didn't let that stop me from discovering just how amazing a fresh dump was with my family.

been addicted ever since.
(and now i ride, and can't imagine going back to jeans..
a guy i lived with once always wore sweatpants..
the logic completely escapes me.)
