![]() There's actually a term for it in our community. Sometimes I'll throw on Aquaphor on my face, just to get something on there.ĭavid Ramos Getty Images Let's talk about snowboards tendrils, which is the style where you stick pieces of hair out outside of your helmet. We deal with wind burn, so you have so many dead skin cells on your face just from the wind being so harsh. I try to exfoliate four times a week because my skin gets so dry. A good cleanser at night is also important and I do a lot of exfoliating. I'm using one from Tatcha right now that I love. I'll actually bring a really light water-based serum with me in my bag that I'll just throw on whenever my skin starts feeling dry. It's crazy because the minute I leave for the mountain, I just feel my skin just starting to shrivel. As someone who spends a lot of time in the cold, do you have any beauty tips for people struggling with dry skin? So yeah, I've just been watching Netflix and playing 8 Ball Pool on my phone. My boyfriend's taking his midterms right now, so I literally have nothing to do. To put it in perspective, I'm almost done with season one and I started yesterday. So we rewatched Avatar: The Last Airbender. When quarantine first started and we were all really, really scared, we never went outside. I'm just trying to be comfy while I binge-watch some Netflix. I've been loving Roxy t-shirt dresses lately to wear around the house-they're so cozy. When I got the opportunity to join the team it honestly is probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. She was actually one of those athletes that really inspired me to go to the Olympics because I watched her compete in 2006. So I've definitely been doing a lot of chilling in sweatpants, but I'll throw on an occasional fit for an Insta pic right outside and then I'll run back inside. I feel like now when I go out, it's mostly to go get groceries or go run some errands and then I run back into my apartment, to my safe zone. I love like picking out fun outfits and really expressing myself through what I wear. How does your style on the mountain translate to your IRL style? We spoke to Kim about her gig as the face of Roxy ("I've always loved Roxy's stuff"), Asian American representation, and a snowboarder's hairstyle with a NSFW name. In the meantime, she's spending quarantine at home in Los Angeles with her boyfriend, binge-watching Netflix, and wearing sweatpants. The 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing has not yet been affected by COVID-19, so her training is still on course. The whirlwind media circus that followed her win has since quieted down and she spent the last year as a freshman at Princeton University. A ball of sunshine with really good hair, Kim became the face of the sport and showed how "like us" a winner can be, tweeting about ice cream and churros between Olympic runs. It wasn't her 2018 Olympic gold medal or the fact that she became the youngest female winner in snowboarding history at 17 years old but her overall demeanor that won our hearts. Chloe Kim is America's relatable sweetheart. I'll try them as is and if it's an issue I may try and crazy glue or epoxy the excess skin, that I kept, on top of the rip and threads. Like you say, I can see the threads not helping that glopping. The snow condition obviously contributes to a lot of that but it usually takes a fresh pair a while before they glop. Even previous to the rear, and only 5 days on these ones, they seem to glop up easily. It's a big one almost 2/3 of the way across them it went 3' long so no chance of thinning these. Just need to know what you're getting into when you choose that ultralight stuff. The weight and packability are as good as it gets. It was too flexible at the fatter width - always wanting to fold in on itself glue-to-glue in weird ways when I was ripping/folding at the top of a climb. That light thin skin is much better at the narrower width anyway, much easier to manage. In the end best thing for me was to trim that skin down to my narrowest skis (88mm from my 124 fatties), cutting that tear out altogether. Maybe floss will be less sticky than the speedy stitcher thread. Tried covering it with a little piece of flexible rip stop repair tape, but couldn't keep that stuck to the skin. Glop-stopped the hell out of the stitches, but they quickly became a seed for a little lump of snow to grow right there. ![]() Worked fine, *until * I got into any snow where glopping was an issue. I used a speedy stitcher on a 15mm cut/tear on the same kind of skin.
