    Skiing in a Kilt take 2

    Here's some photos from March 25 at Aspen Highlands. I hope this proves once and for all that it is possible to ski in a proper kilt. For your reference, 'tis but a small hike to the top of Highland bowl (12,300 ft).

    I also found out that hiking in a kilt made me a much faster hiker, I passed at least 1/2 dozen people on the way up.....usually I fall behind on the way to the summit and little teenagers pass me up. Now, when i ski in regular clothes, I strip down to fleece before going up the hill.

    fantastic pictures!

    I'm working on a kiltpin (commercial) website...I'll also add a kilt info section.
    Can I use one of your pictures to show kilts are comfortable in the cold?

    Cheers!
