In the line of duty just to be helpful to you, Retold me that because I fell so much, they .'came up with the wet lode". Next, because "'they always found me on my rump at the ' bottom of the mountain, they invented that anti-gli- s stuff to keep me from sliding. i(iLast year, she topped things off by telling 'me my physique had inspired the new H "puffy look". g.n;Oh, well, I promised to check out the so heres what 0 fashion scene for you, has to say for 1975.

And, Barbara, who in ..addition to her fashion experience and Mflevision commercial career was once a ski -- m self-consc- ious, mstructorr ought to know (!i ... The jeans look is long gone now, she says. ni everyone seems to be won over by the Vuper" new fashions. She particularly wanted me to tell you about the hilly coordinated, mens Snapper Suit" from Sportcaster. fiSai d, Overalls are really big, and virtually all v.he manufacturers are carrying than in vlheir lines . They are worn with coordinating "Sweaters and parkas. 1,1 'So, we dedded to check on the state of the ski Skiers overalls and pants. with the The French call the look salopette, and it really is sexy. I wasnt too concerned about it being sexy on me. Somehow I couldnt picture it, but I did want to know if Im going to be kept warm this year. Of course you will, she said, As long as youre careful to get the short jackets filled with the maiMnade high loft, extra warm fibre by PolarGuard from Celanese. That will do the trick with the shorter parkas." Warm-u- p pants are still the in thing" and are inner-line- d nylon pants. The difference this year is they are more trimly cut and worn like regular ski pants. The zipper is losing out. Goodbye zipper. Stretch pants are great this year, and they will help a skier stretch his budget a bit, too, in wardrobe planning, she says. I always worry about stretch pants because my tiny little bottomOiee hee) never seems to look tiny in them.But, as usual, Barbara has come 19 with a solution. Oh, thats not a problem anymore. Just buy the stretch pants with the racing stripes. Try the sleek ones from Roffe or the shiny stretch fabric ones from CB Sports. The stripe down, the sides makes the heavier skier look really slim. Then she giggled, and I knew what was coming. Maybe we can find a pair for you with three stripes. Everything is coordinated this year. Even boots. So, Barbara suggests if you are buying new clothes to get your bright colored boots first, so you can coordinate your outfit to match. Scott Boots are even selling selected different colored cuffs. I was afraid to ask her what my red, white, and blue skis might go with. She might have told me. Gloves are doing their thing, too. They're all the colors of the rainbow. You can hardly find those staid old black ones anymore. And, theyre warmer, too. Saranac has filled theirs with PolarGuard, and Promark and Hanover use the fibre in their mittens. Grandoe has a glove with a colorful hot dog on the top. If we get hungry on a chairlift, we can now eat our gloves. Vest have arrived, too, for springtime and ' warmer days.

Lastly, Barbara tells us about the whole coordinated look for both children and adults from Hot Gear, and the patchwork quilt look by Hot Gear with accessories by Kristin. Well, that's it gang.

The negotiations saw the IFSA Board of Directors and Mr. Summers first present a proposal which detailed the small group of competitors, headed by Mr. Oberhansly, is unwilling to work in a mutual benefit of the sport for the competitors, and toward an increasingly representatives of the Ski Industry from Mr. Curtis Oberhansly, president of PFA, as well as Mr. Bernard Weichsel, past Executive Director of the IFSA, and Mr. Summers.
