20 years ago on the Epicski forum, I posted a thread with these very same photos/subject line from our 2003 visit to Tirol, which included Zell am See, Saalbach, Kitzbühel, Ski Welt, Westendorf (then a separate resort), Alpbach, and Auffach. We went there after stumbling upon a preposterous offer from a U.S. travel agent that included flights to Innsbruck, rental car, B&B lodging in Kitzbühel, etc. that we couldn't pass up even though this is decidedly not the part of the Alps you want to visit during the third week of March (ergo the cheap price).
If anyone has seen my unchic, low-budget skiing apparel, you'll know that I'm in absolutely no position to be the fashion police of anyone. Still, I found it curious that so many people were wearing colorful onesies, body bags, one-piecers -- whatever you want to call them -- during warm spring weather as opposed to a powder day, when they might have some utility. We noted anecdotally that a majority of the wearers seemed to be from the UK.
I don't recall witnessing anything like this again in later visits. Has anyone had a similar experience?
