Gingervitus: Mt. Hood Fashion Dos and Don’ts
By Colleen Quigley • Jul 29th, 2011 • Category: Features, Gingervitus, LatestSnowboarding these days is as much about “having the look” as it is about actual skill, or so I’ve heard from industry types. Some of it is functional; most of it’s not. Summer camp is the perfect place to try out that new fashion piece you’ve been debating the last few weeks. Think rolled up pants- even the dumbest looking and least functional style can catch on up here. Some of the styles that have emerged on Mt. Hood are like snowboard fashion STD’s- we hope most of them go away with time, but some of them stay with us forever.
Do.
Who doesn’t love rainbows and a crafty lady with a sewing needle? The only thing that could make this hoodie better is if it had a double rainbow.
Don’t.

Don’t.
Wear your PJ pants on-hill, or anywhere outside your bedroom for that matter.
Do.

Do.
Who gives a shit if your outfit doesn’t go together at all or makes no sense functionally, right? If you look good you feel good.
Do.
Like pizza and protecting your eyeballs? Don’t have the cash for mountaineering shades? Castro has the solution.
Do.
A panama style hat provides copious amounts of shade for your face as an extremely functional accessory for protecting against future skin cancer. For good measure Bundy threw in the full facemask, which as an added bonus I’m sure scares campers away quite nicely.
Don’t.
I wonder if he’s wearing a cup too.
Do.
Dress like your Grandma. One day you’ll realize she is much cooler than you.
Don’t.
Wear shorts and mittens together. It sends mixed messages to your sweat glands.
Don’t.
Sew a midsection into your favorite hoodie, unless of course you’re pregnant.
Don’t…
stop vacationing, ever.
