The Funny Apres Ski Outfit Piece Everyone Asks About

The easiest way to build a funny apres ski outfit is to change one thing: your head. The Blockhead ski mask by blockhead.shop is a yellow full-face stretch balaclava with a square, blocky head, a knob on top and a cartoon face. Wear it with your normal ski jacket and you go from just another skier to the person every table wants a photo with.

How to style a funny apres ski outfit around the mask

• Keep the rest simple. A plain jacket or a retro one-piece lets the yellow head do the work.
• Add goggles. The single wide eye opening is sized for ski goggles, which sit where the eyes would be. Goggles are not included.
• Go as a crew. Four friends in four different faces read as one costume from across the terrace.

A costume you can still ski in

Most party costumes stay in the hotel room. This one is a warm stretch mask made for cold days and chairlifts, and it fits under most ski and snowboard helmets. You can wear it on the last run, keep it on at the bar and still have a face cover for the walk home. For theme nights and group trips, our group ski costume page shows the crew discounts.

Pick a face and a size

There are four faces: Tongue Out, Big Grin, Chomp and Smirk. The mask is one size for adult heads about 56–59 cm (22–23 in). One costs $26.99, and buying more in one order takes 12% off two, 19% off three and 25% off four. Our pick for après-ski is Tongue Out, the cheekiest face, but you can compare all four on the product page.

Why a mask beats a full costume on the mountain

Inflatable suits and wigs are fun for one photo and a nightmare on a chairlift. A soft mask packs into a jacket pocket, survives the wind and keeps you warm between bars. When the party moves outside for the fireworks or the last gondola down, you are still dressed for it.
