Do you look at old school skiing photos of the 70s and 80s and think to yourself, why can't I look that damn cool on the slopes? Well... Now you can. The lovely team at Retro Rentals have made it their mission to supply skiers and snowboarders with the ski chic that is the 80s onesie throughout the Alps. Based in Morzine, the guys drive their party van from resort to resort during the ski season and bring the largest collection of vintage ski gear in the universe with them. You get to choose from the classic onesie, the brightest ski jackets or the tightest ski pants. For those of you that have seen the magic that is Hot Tub Time Machine, Retro rentals are bringing that cool back, kicking and screaming, right to your front door. After all, today's ski gear is far to focused on waterproofness and breathability, when all you you really need is the colours purple, yellow and orange. Although, Norrona have had a pretty good go at bringing the onesie up to date.
All joking aside, we're pleased to announce that Retro Rentals will be joining Ski Week for a day of fun, fancy dress and competitions. Think music, outrageous outfits and crazy antics on the slopes... Miss it and miss out. |
