Where can big "round " women get ski wear?

I am quite round at the moment. Off skiing soon and no idea where to get salopettes to fit the larger lady. Nowhere like Evans/Anne Harvey is going to do them. Thanks

Tog 24 go up to a size 20 and I think you can buy online

Not sure how round you mean, but when I was pregnant my ski pants didn't fit, so I bought North Face Hyvent Rain pants. They have an elastic waist, and just wore thermal pants underneath, also with the elastic waist. They might do the trick?

Where are you off to?

North Face/Columbia both do xxxl (UK 22ish) in ladies but you'll probably have to order it in.

Ulla Popken is the german version of Evans - they have stores in the UK and go up to a size 30+ and do ski wear.

Decathlon go up to a size 24.

If you're still having no luck, try men's snowboard pants.

Stressed2007, I've been skiwear buying the last couple weeks.

I also have a problem with bottoms because I have real thick legs and a smallish waist and, eventually after much trying on and exasperation, went with a (rare) pair that fit my waist and legs (just).

Hoping not to split my strides on the slope!

Anyway, I noticed quite a few larger sizes in TK Maxx the other week - at great prices, too!

Any joy, Stressed2007?

If you're still looking you could try Outdoormegastore who do sizes up to about 30 for quite a lot of the "White Rock" range.
