"I love skiing, and growing up my dad only wore one pieces. When I went on my first ski trip with friends, I had to borrow one of his suits and this ridiculous yellow one piece became my trademark on the mountain that week. Since then, I've only worn one pieces and I usually try to find a ridiculous one on eBay every year. They're difficult to find, but if someone got me a unique one I'd know they'd worked for it and I would wear it with pride."
