Now it's been a minute... But it's my understanding this means he doesn't actually ski. Kind of like a teetotaler sitting with a beer nearby, that's gone flat and warm, but they insist it means they're a drinker.

Jeans absorb water *quickly* and if you fall/get into the snow even once you're rapidly left wearing stiff, clammy, heavy, and damp fabric in temperatures that're freezing or lower. Only someone completely new to skiing who's also refused the advice of everyone around them would ski in jeans.

I went skiing on many a night ski trip in HS where there were folks skiing in jeans and a football team jacket. => Rube.

LOL. Depending on where you go skiing, you can still see it.

Nothing more manly than wet jeans in cold weather. 😂

The worst. I’ve played hockey with jeans under my gear before when I was real little. Terrible.

Bogus Basin 1968. We also wore cowboy boots and slipped and fell on our asses in the parking lot. But We Were Cool! 🆒

Unfortunately I asked about this during the Vermont episode. It seems to have the emotional weight of saying someone cheats at golf or hires someone to run up their score on video games: you exist outside the community and not in a good way.

If you're prepping for your first ski trip, the odds are good that SEVERAL sources close to you have said "don't wear jeans" and explained why. So if you're skiing in jeans, it means you've willfully ignored all advice and it's no longer a question of if you'll wind up with hypothermia, but when.
