Grade: A+
Seeing as to how I live in the state that ahem, hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, I was rather skeptical of this outfit at first. Skiing is rather big in Utah (uh, a big tourist thing like casinos in Vegas) and while I'm not much of a skier I have skied in the past and have owned a ski outfit. So an A grade from me means this set is pretty dang good.
This outfit is very much like something a girl or even a teenager would wear out here. It's very accurate. It consists of a ski sweater with embroidery, a ski vest with fake buttons (velcro closure, no zipper--one of its few flaws) ski gloves, ski lift ticket, ski pants and ski socks/shoes.
While most Utahans would opt for a ski coat (if your arms get wet while out there you won't notice it with a coat but you will with a vest) the vest is cute on Nicki. The lift ticket is very realistic, except in real life people usually attach them to the zipper on their coat or vest, as real skit coats/vests have both buttons and zippers.
The pants are very realistic and made of the same fabric as the real thing (the vest has similar fabric too, very realistic) and even have velcro in the sides so that like with the real thing (the real thing usually has buttons, though) you can get the ski boots on and off with ease. The socks are also very realistic--I had a pair similar to them to keep my own feet from freezing on the slopes. Overall, this set is very nice. Highly recommended. Nicer than any other ski outfit AG or Pleasant Company has ever made.
