Pink. Fluffy. Attention grabbing. This brings the party wherever it goes. I can think of about a million good reasons to wear one, and exactly zero reasons not to.
I’ve skied for the last 78 months in a row, and my trusty companion has been with me through it all. Why do I wear a tutu when I ski in the backcountry? Why the hell wouldn’t I?
Cold? This will keep your tooshie toasty-warm. Uncomfortable? Lay down with this under your head and you’ll be fast asleep in no time. Suffer a bad fall where get a massive gash on your leg ad sustain a broken arm? Have no fear! This doubles as both gauze AND a sling.
