I have skied for 3 years now and only done season rentals. I can easily do Blacks without Moguls and can hold my own on Double blacks and am not bad on blacks with moguls. My favorite kind of skiing is the bowls you can hike up to that are very steep and not skied a ton. If I could have ratings on a ski this is what I would want it to look like.
40% Bowls
25% Moguls/Trees
15% Powder
10% Terrain Park
10% Groomed Blues/Black
I was looking at the K2 Apache Recons until someone told me that they might be to stiff
Now I am thinking about the K2 Public Enemy something in the Salomon XWing series or anything else that people can suggest.
Also I would appreciate suggestions on the style of boot I should get. Some people have told me that I should not get a stiff boot but I don’t know if that’s right.
If it makes any difference I am17 years old and very skinny at 6 feet 130LBS. My parents are pretty skinny so I won’t gain tons of weight.
Thanks for the help!!
What Kind Ski’s Should I Get?
You should look into some Alpine Touring Skis, Boots, and Bindings. If you are spending a lot of time NOT on trails and actually in the bowls and trees, these would be a good choice. AT have bindings that allow you to use climbing skins so you won't have to boot up a hill...you just put on the skins and ski UP. However, if 90% of what you ski now is lift-serviceable and you don't plan to ski much in places that are not lift-serviceable, then AT is not for you.
AT and Telemark skis are often one in the same. I find K2 a bit stiffer in general. Karhu and Black Diamond somewhat flexible, and G3 really slinky. All of these, except the K2s can also be mounted well with good old regular bindings. (Karhu Jax and G3 Reverends are really nice for the kind of stuff you plan on doing. Black Diamond Havocs are a nice ski as well.)
Length needs to be determined once you choose a ski. Check the suggested length for your height at the ski shop. Weight has more to do with it than height and each model of ski will be a bit different. You can still apply the to-the-tip-of-your-nose rule and be OK...but check the chart.
If you get a regular downhill set-up or an AT set-up what you want to do is focus on ski width as well. Apache Recons are too narrow for what you tend to ski. The Apache Outlaws might be a better choice. You get 10mm more underfoot with the Outlaws...haven't skied them yet, but something with 88mm width under the foot is nice. The Public Enemy is a good park ski, but you say you're only in the park 10% of the time...so skip those.
If you aren't dying to get the planks right now...wait until you can demo some. Try out a few skis before you start dropping mad money.
Boots are another story. Harder boots take a lot of abuse, but you're light so you might be able to get away with a soft boot. Go try a bunch on at the shop. Drop some extra bling to get them fitted the right way...it makes more of a difference than the ski does. I'm more familiar with Telemark and AT boots nowadays but the qualities are similar to a standard alpine boot. Harder is better for racing and going fast. Softer boots generally are better for terrain and the backcountry. (Unless you are a fatass like me and NEED a hard boot because you'll blow anything else apart.)
Reply:i dont know too much about skiing, as im a snowboarder.
BUT! LIBtech makes a sweeeeet pair of skis. they started making em last year, and theyre just awesome. theyre a twin tip, so you can ride faki and do all that good stuff in the park. they're a medium thickness so you can float on powder and still blaze down the hill pretty fast without all that drag, and best of al lthey have a new feature invented by LIBtech called magnetraction. you wouldnt notice at first, but the edges of the skis are wavy. theyre not just a clean smooth edge. it seems really weird, but i just bought a GNU altered genetics with magne traction and its friggin sick. you wouldnt beleive how well you can hold an edge, even in the slickest ice you wont slip out. its really cool.
as for length, i have friends who ski, and one of them is about your size and he rides about a 155 i think? dont trust me too far on length though. check out the LIB's though! theyre ill!!!
Reply:K2 Public Enemies aren't bad skis. Salomon makes alright terrain skis. For the skiing youre thinking of, go a little bit softer than usual for the boot
Reply:I would suggest a 178 in a light ski. If you are agressive I would suggest a stiffer ski to handle the crud. I ski a 170 for slolum racing but it is very stiff for crud. It handles moguls great though!
I just switched to solomans

What gear do i need for skiing?
I'm going skiing in February to Italy. What stuff do i need? i know they will supply, ski boots, ski's, goggles and ski sticks but what kind of clothes do i need. So far i've got these things on my list to get: Thermal Underwear, thermal socks, ski trousers with the shoulder straps, thermal t-shirt, sweatshirts, a thick high quility ski jacket, thermal gloves and skmi gloves and a hat. any thing else i could need? i think im getting those things from T K max because it's the same great stuff but 60% cheaper there. Is there any where else that is cheap and good?
What gear do i need for skiing?
Some knee and elbow pads. Ouch!!
Reply:Your list sounds pretty good. Just remember that whilst it will be cold wherever you're going, you're going to get very hot actually skiing. It's very hard work so you need to make sure you put on several thin layers under your ski jacket, so you can peel them off one at a time. I'd recommend a small backpack too, just enough to carry your money and a bottle of water, then put your thermal T-shirts in as you take them off. Also gives you somewhere to put your gloves and hat and goggles when you stop for a much-needed drink!
Oh, and whatever anyone tells you - don't wear an extra pair of socks under your ski socks. That's what causes blisters. Just wear the good thick thermal socks specifically designed for skiing. And be ready for ski boots to be the most uncomfortable things you will ever wear!!!!! But they are so worth it - skiing is great. Don't be afraid of falling over - you can get so tense that it stops you really learning how to ski. Enjoy.
Reply:Warm clothing that doesn't restrict movement too much and that is reasonably water and windproof and a good warm hat. Goggles or sun glasses with uv protection and a high factor sunblock as you will get burned from the glare off the snow.
If it's your first time, i suggest hiring skis and boots and enrolling at the resorts ski school to give you the basics.
If you aren't that active, spend about ten minutes a day before you leave doing step ups on your home staircase to strenghten your thigh and knee muscles.
Lastly if you are going abroad, instructors will probably speak English, but it doesn't hurt to learn a few basic phrases to help you get along - please, thankyou, where are the ski lifts etc.
Have fun
Reply:Im going skiing during february half term with school and using a all-in-one plus the other neccesities.
Some resorts allow you to hire clothes but its all old and skanky. Your list sounds about right.
Reply:A skis suit would be good if your 5' 11" there s one now on ebay look at 130063961782
Reply:you need several long sleeved shirts, sweaters, and parka in case you fell into a pud of mud (thats what happened to me when i first went skiiing) and wear 2 pair of pants when you go its gonna be REALLY cold especially in italy
your list sound pretty good but once you are skiing you will get hot cuz it still is sports and you dont need all of those things but be prepared
Reply:Are they definitely going to supply goggles? I would double check on that as it is quite rare. If they don't - you will need sunglasses, you only really need goggles in bad weather but you will need sunglasses all the time and get a cord for them.
Your list sounds good - I wouldn't worry about buying cheaper things - you can always upgrade if you go again or really get into it.
Milletts is a good place for things like ski socks, gloves and hats at a cheap price.
I would ensure you have a good jacket (plenty of zippered pockets, hood, good fit, tight cuffs.) and decent salopettes (the trousers with straps).
I wouldn't worry overly about thermal underwear - I normally just wear leggings under my salopettes and then layer up with t-shirts (short and long) and if it is really cold outside then maybe a fleece. But often it isn't that cold.
Have a great time!

Skiing season training?
Ski season is almost here! Hence, the following list of Exercises to get you prepared:
16. Visit your local butcher and pay $30 to sit in the walk-in freezer for a half an hour. Afterwards, burn two $50 dollar bills to warm up.
15. Soak your gloves and store them in the freezer after every use.
14. Fasten a small, wide rubber band around the top half of your head before you go to bed each night.
13. If you wear glasses, begin wearing them with glue smeared on the lenses.
12. Throw away a hundred dollar bill-now.
11. Find the nearest ice rink and walk across the ice 20 times in your ski boots carrying two pairs of skis, accessory bag and poles. Pretend you are looking for your car. Sporadically drop things.
10. Place a small but angular pebble in your shoes, line them with crushed ice, and then tighten a C-clamp around your toes.
9. Buy a new pair of gloves and immediately throw one away.
8. Secure one of your ankles to a bed post and ask a friend to run into you at high speed.
7. Go to McDonald's and insist on paying $8.50 for a hamburger. Be sure you are in the longest line.
6. Clip a lift ticket to the zipper of your jacket and ride a motorcycle fast enough to make the ticket lacerate your face.
5. Drive slowly for five hours - anywhere - as long as it's in a snowstorm and you're following an 18 wheeler.
4. Fill a blender with ice, hit the pulse button and let the spray blast your face. Leave the ice on your face until it melts. Let it drip into your clothes.
3. Dress up in as many clothes as you can and then proceed to take them off because you have to go to the bathroom.
2. Slam your thumb in a car door. Don't go see a doctor.
1. Repeat all of the above every Saturday and Sunday until it's time for the real thing!

What bindings will my Karhu XCD boots fit into?
I have a pair of Karhu XCD Traverse boots. They don't fit into the bindings on my skis. Of course my bindings are the same style that the boots should fit--75mm 3-pin--however, the duck-bill front is too thick and I cannot possibly close the binding. I'm getting a new pair of skis and bindings but am clueless as to what bindings are recommended for these boots...
What bindings will my Karhu XCD boots fit into?
You might have to get a different 3-pin binding that has more clearance on the bail for the boot.
I had the same problem with some Karhu boots with Rotefella bindings. I can barely get the bail to close. I have contemplated shaving down the sole a little, but I'm reluctant to possibly damage the boot.
I don't know how thick your duckbills are but here are some suggestions:
Voile Heavy-Duty Mountaineer Bindings - will fit 18-19 mm soles. $50
Rottefella Super Telemark will handle sole thicknesses from 12 to 20 mm. $50

What Skis Should I Get??
I am 5'7", 135lbs, female and am between a beginner and intermediate skier.
I really prefer to cruise around on blue slopes but I am going to spend a full season skiing this year and would like to work towards going off trail and skiing powder. Im not into trying to go really fast or race nor am i into jumps and freestyle.
Could someone please help me with what to look for in buying skis boots and bindings and recommend some ski sizes. Thanks.
What Skis Should I Get??
Hi. Just get a good pair of all-mountain skis geared to the intermediate skier. They will be forgiving, yet able to cruise the blues and dip into a little powder or off-piste terrain now and then.
Your best bet is to buy from a dedicated ski shop (not a big box store!), and really, if you can, demo before you buy. Try two or three different brands, and see what responds best to your style. The workers there will be able to get you into the right size ski for you. Normally, the ski will stand to between the bottom of your nose and your eyes.
ps: don't forget to pick up an extra lesson or two near the beginning of the year. Even advanced skiers can benefit. Just because you can get up and down a blue run doesn't mean you couldn't benefit as well!
Reply:You usually want skis that are about eye level. For your height and weight, skis around 165cm would right for you.
I would recomend the an all mountain ski like the volkl tigershark. It is wide enough to handle crud and some powder, but has enough sidecut for carving up groomers
You should go to your local ski shop or ski swap and ask some knowlegeable skiers for more info
Reply:if your between intermediate and novice i would recommend strongly not to go off into powder and try to not to unless your lvl. 8 or so with skiing. well k2s at evo gear.com
Reply:The Nordica Olympia lineup won several awards. I actually demo-ed a pair for my sister (no shame in being a guy on womens skis) and found even the upper level versions of the lineup to be lively, forgiving and able to hold a line w/ serious bite. I'm not sure which model has better powder ratings but I know its a great ski.
Reply:In addition to what was said above, make sure you get a woman-specific ski. There are many to choose from. The center of gravity is different on women and it really makes a difference.
Reply:I would think about a 160 wide ski would suit you. Make sure you get the bindins mounted by a realiable place that knows the difference between women skiers and men skiers.

I just bought a new pair of skis, i had my bindings mounted for my boots, do i really need to get a wax?
Yes you should actually have them TUNED and waxed.Most ski bases come slightly concave or convex which affects the initiation of turns.At the very least have them hot waxed, only costs $10.00,a small price to pay to allow your skis to glide freely and protect your bases from friction damage.The wax that comes on the skis is just a baselayer to protect the base material in transport/storage,is very soft and will wear off quickly leaving you with sticky feeling skis.And once the wax is worn off you are wearing down your base material.
I just bought a new pair of skis, i had my bindings mounted for my boots, do i really need to get a wax?
New skis come waxed, shop shouldnt wax them, they should know better..
Reply:you can probably get one full day or riding on new skis, just depends on how many runs you do. after that i would definately get them waxed since the wax from the manufacture is really nothing

Which one's better: skiing or snowboarding?
i just got a new pair of ski boots and snowboard boots. i have all skiing equiment thats needed and i'm waiting for my snowboard and bindings to come along.
i love to go skiing and just went during christmas. but i've never been boarding. it looks really easy but that's probably because i've never tried before
which one's better skiing or snowboarding? and why?
Which one's better: skiing or snowboarding?
Which one's better,blondes or brunettes? Neither- they're both good. I quit skiing in 1984 to snowboard. Four years ago I started skiing again to get a job as an instructor at a local mountain. I now am a cert. instructor in both and say this;they are both good in their own ways. On a fat powder day, snowboarding is simply orgasmic. Bumps? Gimme skiis. I like to snowboard more and if I had to choose would keep the board. But to someone in your position take my advice; keep up on both.Oh and don't be fooled-snowboarding; safer than skiing yes. Really easy to learn, no.Again,just different.
Reply:I have skied for 19 years up to an expert level and level 1 instructor, and have snowboarded for 8 to an advanced level. I really like challenging terrain (steep, moguls, crud, out-of-bounds, trees) and have found that skiing lets me have more fun in those conditions. If I am going to a resort that has reports of lots of fresh powder or has been groomed extensively, I will take the snowboard. If it is a couple days after a good snowfall and the terrain will be very mixed, I will take the skis (have skied mostly this year). I was never a skateboarder, so the terrain parks and half-pipe do not hold much appeal. You can have fun in that terrain on either skis or board, but speciality equipment for each will make the runs more enjoyable.
Reply:Its personal preference. I like skiing hands down. Snowboarding, which i have tried and have gotten to an intermediate level doing, is much easier and faster to learn and progress. (but alot more painful) I like facing down the hill rather than sideways, you have more control on skis, 2 edges on the snow at once rather than 1. I also like having both feet independent of each other, easier to get out of trouble... I could go on and on, I would say skiing. Pick and image, Knuckle Dragger or Ski Bum and go with it!
Reply:SKIING!!! Snowboarding has had its fifteen minutes of fame, but skiing is more popular because you can do more tricks on skis.
You're pretty limited on what you can do on a snowboard. You can do everything on skis that you can do on a snowboard.
(Aerials, grabs, spins, rails etc)
PLUS these tricks you can't do on a snowboard:
Spread Eagle
Soaring Eagle
Pole Dancer
Twister
Daffy
Back Scratcher
Iron Cross
Screamin Seeman
Japan Air
Lui Kang
Blunt Air....to name a few.
Reply:i think snowboarding. it just seems a lot more exciting to me
Reply:Neither's better really. I have friends that prefer skiing and i have friends that prefer snowboarding. Snowboarding a incredibly hard to learn, but once you learn how to carve, you can get very good very easily. Skiing's just one of those sports that anyone can pick up but is difficult to master. If you're under the impression that the two sports are alike you're mistaken. They as different as skateboarding and rollerblading. I'd definitely pick snowboarding over skiing any day. I feel a bit more of a thrill when i'm snowboarding because there's the constant threat of catching the edge and faceplanting. It also feel more rewarding to carve with a snowboard than it is to do those little hops with the skis. In the end, it's the feeling of accomplishment and excitement that really makes snowboarding better than skiing in my book. If you want more analogys than... snowboarding is to riding a motorcycle as skiing is to driving a car. Snowboarding is to hang-gliding as skiing is to riding commercial class airliners. Eventually, you get the point.
Reply:i like boarding better i was skiing for 4 years and couldnt get off the begginer slopes but the third time i got on a board i was on the intermediate hills the only downside my *** hurt a lot after the first time and there are no safety releases on snowboards like there are on skis so your leg will pop off before the boot does

If I am going to a resort that has reports of lots of fresh powder or has been groomed extensively, I will take the snowboard. If it is a couple days after a good snowfall and the terrain will be very mixed, I will take the skis (have skied mostly this year). I was never a skateboarder, so the terrain parks and half-pipe do not hold much appeal. You can have fun in that terrain on either skis or board, but speciality equipment for each will make the runs more enjoyable.
Reply:Its personal preference. I like skiing hands down. Snowboarding, which i have tried and have gotten to an intermediate level doing, is much easier and faster to learn and progress. (but alot more painful) I like facing down the hill rather than sideways, you have more control on skis, 2 edges on the snow at once rather than 1. I also like having both feet independent of each other, easier to get out of trouble... I could go on and on, I would say skiing. Pick and image, Knuckle Dragger or Ski Bum and go with it!
Reply:SKIING!!! Snowboarding has had its fifteen minutes of fame, but skiing is more popular because you can do more tricks on skis.
You're pretty limited on what you can do on a snowboard. You can do everything on skis that you can do on a snowboard.
(Aerials, grabs, spins, rails etc)
PLUS these tricks you can't do on a snowboard:
Spread Eagle
Soaring Eagle
Pole Dancer
Twister
Daffy
Back Scratcher
Iron Cross
Screamin Seeman
Japan Air
Lui Kang
Blunt Air....to name a few.
Reply:i think snowboarding. it just seems a lot more exciting to me
Reply:Neither's better really. I have friends that prefer skiing and i have friends that prefer snowboarding. Snowboarding a incredibly hard to learn, but once you learn how to carve, you can get very good very easily. Skiing's just one of those sports that anyone can pick up but is difficult to master. If you're under the impression that the two sports are alike you're mistaken. They as different as skateboarding and rollerblading. I'd definitely pick snowboarding over skiing any day. I feel a bit more of a thrill when i'm snowboarding because there's the constant threat of catching the edge and faceplanting. It also feel more rewarding to carve with a snowboard than it is to do those little hops with the skis. In the end, it's the feeling of accomplishment and excitement that really makes snowboarding better than skiing in my book. If you want more analogys than... snowboarding is to riding a motorcycle as skiing is to driving a car. Snowboarding is to hang-gliding as skiing is to riding commercial class airliners. Eventually, you get the point.
Reply:i like boarding better i was skiing for 4 years and couldnt get off the begginer slopes but the third time i got on a board i was on the intermediate hills the only downside my *** hurt a lot after the first time and there are no safety releases on snowboards like there are on skis so your leg will pop off before the boot does

I am making 6 ski shots for guys in my wedding party. I am trying to get the boot holders(or whatever they are called) off the ski's and on one of my pairs the nails are striped. I tried a hand held screw driver and a drill, neither works. any suggestions?

What should I look for when buying skis?
I know absolutely nothing about buying skis...what the numbers mean, what brands are good, etc. I am a 14 year old girl, 5' 4" and slim. I ski blue squares and am just starting black diamonds. I will be skiing at least 5 times this year. Lots of skis I saw online say things like "great for all kinds of terrain!" but i only go on the groomed, chair-lift-accesible slopes. I never go to explore the mountain or anything like that. I am only interested in recreational skiing, and i want my skis to last for as long as possible. Oh, and I also need to buy bindings and boots. My feet are probably done growing, but nto definitely. What kinds of skis/boots/bindings should I look for? Any tips are appreciated!!
P.S.- I can't spend too much money, so no super-expensive brands.
What should I look for when buying skis?
you should go to a ski shop and talk to the knowlegdable staff. They will give you an idea of what you need. Tell them your price range and they will be able to help you out. They may even be able to find you some good used equipment.
Reply:for what you are looking for almost anything is going to work for you
if you are only going 5 times i would suggest either renting
or renting for the year
or buying from a play it again store or something like that
or you could get my set up
300$ k2 silencers
100$ marker binking
300$ soloman boots ( you want to spend alot on a nice pair of boots or youll regret it and besides if your done growing you can use them for a long time
have fun skiing
Reply:I have to answer this question for my students all of the time. The ski for you should be a medium to soft flex ski, about 4" shorter than you, also an all mountain ski will give you responsiveness and positive feedback to your feet. Check with some of the rental and retail ski shops near you, they may have last year rentals for sale with bindings for about $100-$200. Your boots are the critical issue for skiing and improving your skills.The boots must fit properly, with a medium flex, in a woman's boot. No rear entry boots please, the lack of precision is a problem. Footbeds, canting, maybe other adjustments to the boot, ramp angle, toe box, etc. The bindings are the least of your package. After all of this, the package should last about 30 days of slope use with no problems. If you do this in one season, you'll want to get a higher performance ski as you improve your skills. Keep the skiis tuned, waxed and sharp, buckle your boots for storage in the off season.
A plastic boot that is left unbuckled over a warm summer will try to take its' original shape which is a flat sheet. Fixing that is a real problem.
Do enjoy the sport, make new friends, this is a social sport more than a snow sport. Good turns. Jim.

I'm going skiing this easter I need help!!!!!!!!!?
so I'm going skiing for the first time but the ski cloths aren't in the package I don't need ski equipment but i need ski goggles, a ski coat, ski trousers and any other things i would need to ware except from ski boots, poles and them board things were can i get them in Sheffield?
I'm going skiing this easter I need help!!!!!!!!!?
Do you mean NEXT Easter?
As this Easter has gone, it was in March this year!
Reply:Are you going just the one time? If so, I wouldn't spend a ton on clothes that you may not ever need again. You may not be the most fashionable person on the hill. But if looking good is that important to you, I'm the wrong person to ask, and you can ignore the rest of this. And if you plan to ski more afterwards, then pick and choose from my advice.
And where are you skiing at this time of year - the southern hemisphere?
A warm winter coat is essential, but if you have a winter coat already, use that, and dress in layers according to the weather that day. Wear a warm sweater or sweatshirt, and a T-shirt. Add or remove layers as needed.
A winter hat and good gloves are essential. But if you've got the coat, you probably have them, too. Any cheap nylon or wool hat will help, as long as it covers your ears. In the US, decent winter gloves are cheap - $5-10 at most department stores. More expensive ones may /may not keep you warmer, but they will be more comfortable and look better. How much you spend on them is up to you.
Ski pants are nice, but if it's not too cold, you can get away with long underwear under a pair of regular jeans, as long as you stay dry. If it's a wet day, either bring a change or two of dry clothes, or plan some time inside to warm up, or wear synthetics. Cotton will retain little or no heat once it's wet. It's known as "death cloth" in some circles because of this.

How do I adjust my down-hill ski bindings so that they fit my boot?
alanc_59 is 100% right.
It's more involved then "Just turning some screws". Every manufacturer has a different way of checking for the proper toe-heal pressure.
Even more important is your D.I.N. setting. It is set to your age, weight, height and skiing type. This is the number that will keep you from being a knee statistic.
It's too low of a cost to not have a tec do it.
How do I adjust my down-hill ski bindings so that they fit my boot?
If they are rental bindings it is easy to adjust. If they aren't you will need to remount the bindings. This is somewhat expensive and you may be better off just getting some of last years rentals.
Reply:Please don't do it yourself. It's not worth bodily harm.
Take them to a ski shop, have a pro do it. I've skied all my life and I still have ski shops do that adjustment for me. They have the proper knowledge and tools.
Reply:when it comes to adjustment each binding is different. a quality shop will be able to take care of you. if it's not to big or small size change from old boots to new boots they might not need to be remounted. even some of todays bindings won't need to be remounted. just make sure you don't do it yourself. i've been a ski patrol for a number of years now and i can't tell you how many people I take off the slopes in a sled with blown out knees and boot top fractures because they tried to either adjust the bindings for fit or adjust the din settings so they wounldn't release. just remember,, speed is your friend and you can't get hurt in the air...
Reply:Pay to get it done. This is not a do-it-yourself job. Your knees and legs will thank you for not breaking them.
Reply:If you dont know what you are doing, please go to a ski shop and have the tech do it. It should cost about 40 bucks for a mount and a saftey check.

What do ski racers learn?
OK. It seems like a lot of racers and freeskiing competitors nowadays know very little about the technical aspects of the gear they use.
Back in the days when I raced, things like DIN, boot sizes, proper weights and heights for what ski sizes we used, waxing, types of wax, etc. etc. were things we just learned. Either our coaches told us this stuff or we learned it on our own somehow.
Are these things still taught to racers nowadays or is the focus simply on racing skills and techniques?
This is something I've noticed over the past few years...I'm just curious.
What do ski racers learn?
Im not sure if you are talking about some of the so called "ski racers" on here, but Im pretty sure most of them are full of ****. I had one supposed ski racer on here asking a question about what kind of socks to wear while skiing...he stated that he wore "cotton ankle socks" while racing. I told him to get a new coach. Its kind of like in the golf forum where everyone is a scratch golfer and can bomb it 350.
And Ian...all that stuff does help you get down the hill.
Reply:I don't agree, both of my kids race for high school and they are very aware of DIN, they sharpen and wax their equipemetn before races and know the proper USSA ski sizes etc. On ething I will say I have noticed in recent years is the popularity of ski racing seems to be declining. Of course this is atributable to snowbairding as well as the freestyle skiing fad that are currently popular.
Reply:How does that stuff help you get down a hill faster? It is the sort of arcana that is only useful in boring conversations between old farts.
Reply:What the racers are taught will depend on each coach. Some will do early fall clinics to teach about skiis, wax, boots, so forth, others do not have the time or money to do this. Also some ski shops will put on programs to teach anyone hot to do this and to try to sell the attendees new equipment.
Reply:I don't race FIS or USSA, but just masters. Still, as a ski racer, I've learned a lot of what you listed above, plus more in terms of the technical aspects of carving a turn, body position etc. The coaches I've worked with have dealt mostly with skills and gate techniques, but they will tell you all about wax, edge sharpening, etc if you ask. A lot of what I've learned about wax and tuning I picked up from other guys that race.

I used to wear Uggs but now everybody has them. I need a good, cut, fashionable pair of boots that are semi-cheap because I will be buying them myself with my own money.

They come in black or brown and are really cute, very warm, and extremely comfortable.
Hope that helped!

Those things stand the test of time, and look good. My girlfriend thinks I spend too much on shoes but you gotta look good.
GOOD LUCK

As it turns out, Zappos like the guy up there says, also sells Ugg boots. There's my source, below.

Sexy but durable winter boots???
Anyone know of a good brand or website for really good, comfy, durable winter boots that are still cute. Like the kind of thing a hot trophy wife would trot around a ski resort in. I want to spend whatever it takes to get a hot pair of boots that I can really wear all winter.

Size 15-16 snowboard boots?
Can someone tell me where in New York City or at which of the Northeastern ski resorts I am most likely to find a pair of size 15 or 16 snowboard boots? D
Size 15-16 snowboard boots?
You'll have to special order. I normally wear size 11 shoe but a size 9 snowboard boot with thin socks. See if you can find a size 13 to try on with different brands.
Reply:Vans makes a size 15 snowboard boot. They fit true to size. The House has them

What is the best length all mountain ski for me?
I want to get in to more off piste and ski touring and looking to buy a set up with touring bindings, probably freeride bindings to get in to the more remote areas but not always long distance touring routes. I currently use a 170cm atomic c19 beta carve which is superb on piste and ok off piste.
I was looking at a pair off Scott Missions or Dynastar 8000 fitted with free ride bindings ( still going to use my downhill boots though at the moment).
Im 5'11" and weigh in at between 11.5 to 12 stone max throughout the year.
So what length and any thoughts on a ski/binding package for my needs?
Thanks in advance all.

What is the best length all mountain ski for me?
I would recommend the scott missions, perhaps in a 179, give a bit more surface area, although also research the new reverse camber skis, there is now a huge choice in this area. Not sure about touring bindings, but my ideal set up would either be some movement joystick bindings or some marker ones. If I were you I would try out the seth vicious, 98mm underfoot which makes them just about managable on piste and offers good float. At the end of the day it depends on how specialist you want the skis to be so try a few out and see what suits you.
Reply:Since you currently use a 170, I'd say stick within 5-7 cm of that length remember that the off piste conditions have many tighter turn areas and also you'll need a more flexible shovel area for better float in the deep. The length suits you so stay pretty close to the same.
I can't help with the bindings, not my style, the new ones work pretty well and are safe compared to what was around when I started.

Where are these snow boots?
I'm taking a big ski trip here in the next couple of weeks and since it's winter anyways, I figured grabbing a pair of snow boots would be appropriate. I found a pair I think would be really warm and great to wear but I only found one pair while browsing on Ebay and I can't find them anywhere else.. unless i'm not looking in the right places. These are the ones i'm interested in.. everything else just didn't suit my fancy. If anyone knows where I can find these boots or ones like them I would really appreciate any information! The fur adds a little something extra as does the heel.. I like boots with a little something rather than those flat snow boots. Normally I would think these were hideous but everything else I found just didn't do it for me. Thanks!

Preparing for d next Ski Snowboard Trip. Need advice on clothing gear. Dont want to be bulky?
This is going to be my 3rd year snowboarding and im tired of the bulky jackets/gloves that i own. I live in Florida and there are few ski shops across the state and it is hard to try on these equip. What are the best models for a intermediate price (not trying to go pro, but at the same time not beginner stuff) for jackets/pants/gloves/socks u guys use?
Also this year im buying my own board and boots and etc..... i wont rent this gear anymore... what is the most comfy boots ya use???
Preparing for d next Ski Snowboard Trip. Need advice on clothing gear. Dont want to be bulky?
If you really want a slimmed down look check out Mission Six clothing, they have the emo, skate, rocker look down plus offer it in a full line from pants to jackets etc and for all diff types of conditions. (and if it's always warm where you ride, you really don't need anything above a 10k rating except maybe for your pants if you're a novice and spend plenty of time on your rear.)
For boots, it depends on what type of riding you do but I would recommend something with a speed lace system and a moldable liner. The custom fit will do wonders for your days on the slope. Both mid to high end offerings from DC and 32 are a great choice.
Reply:Jackets and pants---check out mtn hardwear and arcteryc. also, most jackets are componet jackets now. a shell with a liner underneath. TNF has the quilted little down liners that are thin and warm. puffy jackets were popular but, they are puffy "michelin man" looking. I bought some burton clothing last year and it wasn't all big.
socks--- thorlo
gloves--- waterproof fleece Manzella
underwear--- commando!! LOL
Reply:for jackets and pants, if you want to go for the skier look go for brands like arcterex, north face, mountain hardware. but if you want to look like a snowboarder (cool) then go for snowboard brands like special blend, rome, burton, NFA, grenade etc. look for waterproof ratings. pretty much anything above 10,000 waterproof will be fine for a jacket. maybe a little higher for pants if you spend alot of time on your butt.
in terms of gloves go for a gore tex park style glove. this will keep your hands nice and dry and warm in most conditions. when it gets cold however you dont have much choice, you have to go for something thinker so your fingers dont freeze. I personally have 3 pairs of gloves. 1 big padded pair for really cold conditions, 1 park style waterproof pair for most days and 1 pair that is made out of a stretchy heavy duty lycra type material for warm spring conditions.
in terms of hardware buy your boots first. make sure you buy them so they are pretty tight to start with, usually with your toes touching the end of the boot. the foam inside the boots will pack in within a week of riding so buying them tight will let them do this without becoming loose and sloppy.
there are lots of really good deals online for last years gear. try sites like
buysnow.com
backcountry.com
or just google snowboard gear. if you shop around and compare prices you will find lots of good gear for really good prices.
hope this helps

My boots are wayy to big and i can't do anything about it?
alright, so for christmas i got brand new K2 PE's and new head boots. well i tried the boots on and kinda walked in them abit and they felt fine with a bit of room at the end. we got them installed on the ski (which doesn't have a rail). but i didn't get to try them out until a month and a half later when i can't bring any of it back or exchange it. and my boots did not fit at all. i put tissue paper at the ends of them, wore double socks, put all the claps on the tightest they could go and my foot was still shifting around and i thought they were going to fall off.
what do i do?????? :(
My boots are wayy to big and i can't do anything about it?
You should take them back to the ski shop where you purchased them. Ski boots MUST fit properly or else your performance will be affected and they will not be comfortable. The bootfitter who initially did the sizing is responsible. The ski shop should not give you a hard time at all. Once they size you again and find a boot that fits your foot shape and size, they should deduct the amount of the original boots. If the new boots were less expensive then they will credit you the difference. If they were more expensive then you will need to pay the difference.
Good luck, ski boot fitting is an extensive process, but will worth it in the end! Don't give up!
www.epicski.com is a great resource. Go to the boot fitters forum for additional questions.
Reply:i'm not positive this will answer your question, but i dealt with a loose boot cuff situation which Steiner's Ski Shop in Glenmont resolved. they may be able to do the same thing for the whole inner boot. they applied a 1/4" thick neoprene wrap, in one case around the inside of the boot cuff and in a second case around the exterior of the the inner boot, to fill the excess space. (i also added an additional tongue in each boot to absorb even more space) it's possible that between adding some kind of foot bed and additional neoprene that they may reduce the "slop" in your boot around your foot and any excess in front of the toes may no longer be a problem.
Reply:Why can't you take them back?
Take them back and tell them that you were fitted the wrong way. Tell them you tried them on in the shop, they felt good at first, but now they don't fit correctly and you want the right boot fit.
Judging by the terminology you are using to ask your question, I suspect you don't know a lot about skiing yet, so tell them you are a beginner skiier and that you have no idea what they should feel like...except that you know they are too big.
I have to wonder about the store you purchased those boots at. It sounds like they didn't fit you well.

Is my friend too heavy to ski?
I want to take a larger friend skiing, but I just want to make sure we don't have any problems when getting to the mountain to rent equipment.
I'm bad at estimating weight, but he's probably 5' 8", 240 lbs. Will boots and everything fit, or is he going to have problems?
Will they put him on a longer ski to compensate for the weight? I'm the same height but I'm 150 lbs and generally use a 160 ski.
Does he need to be more or less worried about anything, such as knees?
Thanks
Is my friend too heavy to ski?
Your best bet might be to call ahead to the ski resort and ask them about it. They could tell you what equipment is available and how it works and if your friend should be concerned about any safety precautions.
Reply:take him. maybe a good experience will convince him to drop the lard.
Reply:Get him skiing! its a great way to loose weight and get fit
Reply:Take him skiing! He will need a stiffer ski about 160-170 CM. His weight is on the heavy side for his height, but I've weighed just about that at the start of this season. I've also had 6 never/evers in lessons in the past 2 weeks that are that heavy. It shouldn't be a problem. Be sure the boots fit correctly.
Reply:Hey upstate1, SkiMan here! It is interesting that you are concerned about your friends weight as to how it pertains to his ability to ski. On the mountain skiers come in all shapes and sizes big and small. Just like the dance floor you will see heavy people that can really shake a leg and others that can't get out on the dance floor. The answer really lies in your friends ability and agility. If he falls down will be able to pick himself up? As far as ski gear goes, if heavy people could not get ski gear the US ski industry would be out of business. Again the answer is really in your friends abilities and his endurance strength level, a lesson or two would help also. Good Luck! Don't hurt em. SkiMan out!
Reply:make sure the mountain has a chair lift that is very structurally sound
Reply:He should be fine, they will most likely give him a longer ski, like you said. But also make sure he gets polls, sometimes when your larger you need the exta ballance. Just guessing but he'll probly need about a 162 ski maybe bigger.
Reply:I clock in at 240' when I have 0% body fat. Since I weigh more than that now...and skied 3 out of the last 5 days...I would say your friend is not too heavy to ski.
As long as your friend doesn't have size 15 shoes...there should be no problem getting ski boots. Most rental shops don't have a wide selection of boots above size 12 (US Mens). So call ahead if the foot size is bigger than that.
The rental shop will most likely have a ski correct for his weight. My guess will be something around a 170cm ski.
I can't say how his weight will effect his knees. If he is a fairly active person and his leg muscles are used to carrying his weight, he should have no problem. But if he is generally a couch-potato, then his muscles might tire out more quickly. A knee injury can happen to anyone at any weight, so I'd say his chances of hurting his knee are about the same as any first-timer.
Reply:Can't answer that one for you.
But, yes. He will probably have to watch out for his knees.
However, I have seen elephants ski and board (I mean human beings of roughly that size... not the actual animal)
So I don't think it will be much of a problem, equipment wise...
In today's world obesity (Is that spelled correctly?) is a growing problem. I am not very known with lbs... (I am a european) but the fact is: People tend to get REALLY huge nowadays. And sportsmanufactures do keep that in mind...

What to bring for a short ski trip?
I'll be heading up to Seven Springs, a ski resort, in a few days. I'll be up there for pretty much one day and one night.
I want to try snowboarding, so I need help on what I should bring a long for the trip.
I plan to rent a snowboard there, just for convenience, although it'll be a bit more pricey. I have snow pants, a really baggy snow jacket, hat wear, and some big gloves. I really don't want to spend extra money for a two day ski trip.
So what else should I bring? I'm thinking something about boots? But how will those go along with a snowboard and all?
What about inner wear? Should I rent or buy goggles (if they have goggles to rent at the resort)? Extra change of clothes?
Also, anything I should watch out for when snowboarding for the first time?
What to bring for a short ski trip?
u usaully can rent boots with the snow board for like 3 bucks more. if ur only going once i would rent goggles (which u can usually get a package deal or something) and if more i would buy goggles.
bring an extra pare of clothes and check the weather before you go to decide if you need warmer clothes
have fun i hope i helped

First time going to a Ski Resort?
Any info please on clothing like what do you wear for Apres Ski? Is it true it's all casual even in the clubs? What are the best Ski wear companies to buy clothes from? I've been advised get Timbaland boots?
First time going to a Ski Resort?
Seriuosly - yes.
I was in your position once and I took all the wrong clothes. It is all jeans, combats and outdoor tops in the clubs and bars.
Do's and Don'ts:
Wear some decent boots but don't go over-trendy. Check out some of the smaller outdoor clothing manufacturers rather than big brand names.
Don 't wear your ski jacket everywhere you go or you'll look like a noob.
Don't wear sunglasses all the time on the slopes or you will get panda eyes and look like a tw@t
Don't get involved in resort politics - be friendly to everyone. All the regulars will have their cliques - don't sweat it.
Don't shag the first chalet girls you meet - wait till after New Year and you will have a much better idea of who's who in resort.
But most of all, enjoy yourself, it is a brilliant life, GOOD LUCK!
Reply:I think you sould buy some clothes in companies like Columbia, that specialises on snow sports and all the clothes needed in the snow.
If you're thinking about going on holidays, and you get the snow clothes you need, you can visit the Patagonia Argentina, there it's full of slopes and there are lots of different snow sports to do. Here a site with touristic information about the Patagonia Argentina:

Reply:Usually just wear your ski trousers %26amp; a top.
I got all my ski gear from TK Maxx.
If you've never been before - how do you know you'll like it - therefore you might not want to splash out on the most expensive stuff - if you love it %26amp; go again, you can always look at upgrading your wardrobe next time!
Ebay is great to find bargains at this time of year as its out of season really for ski gear.
Reply:for skiing i went once always where your gloves because when you fall you have to put your hands on ice after a while it stings unless you where gloves.

Don't worry about bringing boots, they rent those along with the board. Nice goggles are a good investment (plus I'm not sure if a lot of places even rent those) so just buy some before you go. If you buy them at the resort you are going to get screwed on the price.
Besides your outerwear, bring maybe 2 changes of clothes because you tend to get pretty sweaty and nasty under your jacket. It's also nice to have some "street clothes" so you can do stuff in the area while you're not boarding. Be sure you wear a few layers of pants, too. You spend a LOT of time on your butt when you are learning to board.
I'm a skier, but I tried boarding once and hated it so not really any advice for you there unfortunately! Good luck though and hopefully you'll get the hang of it!

Ski packing?
my school is having a ski trip in two weeks and I just recently found out that we are going to do alot of snow playing, and snow boots are optional. I have no water proof shoes. I only have sneakers and leather boots, which the sellsperson said is water proof and can be worn in the rain. my mom is not really keen on the idea of buying waterproof shoes, since we spent big bucks on my other ski stuff. will wearing my sneakers be a bad idea? or vice versa for the leather boots?
Ski packing?
The leather boots will do fine, and they are better for your feet anyway.
They *will* get wet, even if it is just from sweat. What I do when I go skiing is to take a hairdryer that has a non-heating (fan only) setting. At the end of the day, prop your boots up and leave the hair dryer blowing into them for a few hours. This will work for your ski boots, socks, and anything wool, too -- just be sure that you do *not* apply any heat, or you will damage or even shrink the leather
Reply:I would take a pair of boots (timberland/cat: but a cheap pair) as these are safer when walking on the snow! they give you better grip. Sneakers won't give you that much of a grip and leather boots don't have that much of a tread in the sole of the shoe/boot.
Reply:There is a leather water repellant compound that we used on ski boots when they were made of leather. It works quite well, check with a sporting goods store, that has hunting gear.
Reply:Spend the money and the time to keep your feet warm. That would be the smartest thing you could do. Nothing is worse then your feet being cold. Do not count on water proof shoes or leather boots. While they may keep water out, they do not keep out the cold. If you will be playing in the snow much at all, get some boots that are rated for cold weather. Cold feet can ruin what would have otherwise been a fun trip.

Help with snowboard boots!?
I went to a local ski/snowboard shop to find the aprox size of the boots I need and my foot length was about 10. But I tried on a 11 and it felt too tight. So I tried on a 12 and it was slightly looser but still a little tight. Is this tightness normal for new boots? And also, should i get 11s or 12s? Im afraid my feet might get bigger since i'm 15 and I'll have to buy new ones too early. Thanks so much!
Help with snowboard boots!?
I wear size 10 shoes, but I had to get a size 11 boot, and when I tried other ones on, I needed 13's.
Different snowboard boots feel tighter because they are made to be stiff so when you turn, they press against the back of your calves, and your toes press up against the boot.
This is okay, but just make sure that you try the boot on with the laces tight and then try them loose, just to make sure that there isn't all this extra lace that isn't being used, because once you buy them and the lace slides back into place, you might find the boots not to fit when they are tied up.
You need your boots to be snug because it's the biggest factor of turning. If you aren't sure, get some boots with wire laces, all you have to do is turn a knob and the wire clicks in tighter as you turn. Very easy.
Reply:I had the same issue with my first pair of boot. Now I ride in the same size boot as my shoe size. The trick is to try on lots of different boots from different manufacturers. They all fit slightly different. You want to have the smallest boot size you can fit to reduce the amount of toe and heel overhang on your board. In the boot that I currently have I could likely go a half size smaller (the store didn't carry half sizes for me to find out).
Reply:well i'm a year older than you but my feet havent grown since the end of 8 grade so i wouldnt be too worried about your foot growing too much. if the 12s feel looser but still a little tight, that'll be perfect because as you wear them and break them in, they will expand a little. I wear an 8 (8 1/2) and i wear a 9 size boot. go wit the 12
Reply:I have had the exact same experience - I wear +1/2 to +1 size larger snowboarding boots than my street shoe size.
You want the boots to fit very snug when new, because the foam will "pack out" or compress as you use the boots. I suggest wearing a thinner "ski sock" when they are new and then once they start to pack out and get looser wear a little thicker snowboarding or hiking sock (which is what I like to wear when I ride).
Good Luck

Cute Warm Ski Outfit?
Actually ski gear looks cool. The jeans are not appropriate. You'll be cold and wet. Besides, the jeans say "complete beginner" or "complete idiot" like nothing else. The one thing you seem to be missing is the ski jacket. They come in really attractive styles and colours these days, and the ones with fur collars always look seriously cute. If you can't afford to buy even a second-hand one, you can hire one. Girls in ski gear are irresistable!
Reply:I know you'll look very cute with the clothes you picked out %26amp; don't wear your blue jeans. They can be uncomfortable when you ski %26amp; more than likely they will make it harder for you to ski since they're not flexible for your legs. I've been an expert skier for over 35 yrs. %26amp; I know what to wear. You'll look very sexy in your powder blue ski pants. In fact, I'm sure you'll get some looks from men. Everything else is fine to wear but you shouldn't need anything underneath your ski pants unless it's going to be very cold then I'd wear a pair of sweatpants. They're very comfortable to ski in %26amp; nobody will see them. You ski jacket sound nice to %26amp; I'd wear the turtle neck sweater underneath it, you'll look cute %26amp; sexy. If it's cold then bring a scarf for your neck. Your boots, hat %26amp; gloves are just fine. Get a pair of ski goggles, you'll need them %26amp; you'll great in them. They're like sun glasses when they're on %26amp; they look good when your on the slopes. Goggles are very fashionable on the slopes %26amp; they keep your vision perfect %26amp; they help keep your face warm. You can buy them at any ski shop or even try a sporting goods store that sells goggles. Some are very inexpensive. With the list you gave, I don't think you need to buy anything else but your goggles. Have fun %26amp; watch all the looks you get from the young men. Who knows, you find a date while you're skiing %26amp; enjoy your ski trip.

Reply:you will probably want to wear a scarf. earmuffs are good too and my female friends say that earrings just make their ears cold. make sure your gloves are waterproof. dress in layers so you can take something off, like a sweater under your coat, if you get too hot while skiing. don't forget goggles or at least sun glasses (if skiing during the day). put sunscreen on your face and any other exposed skin, because you can sunburn very quickly on the snow.
Reply:You forgot the shades! (or goggles if it's really cold.)

Ski storage question?
so after today, i think that im done for the season.
what should i do to the skis before storing them?
and the boots?
Thanks!
Ski storage question?
Boots should be cleaned of all dirt and the liners removed and dried before storage. Inspect for any damage to the buckles, straps and liners and foot beds. Make the repairs, put them back together, buckle them closed and put them in a plastic sack to keep pests out. Store in a cool dry place, not in a hot garage ceiling area.
Skiis should be inspected for damage, the edges sharpened and then hot wax them a warning sign on the skiis to reset the tension before you use them next fall.
This should give you a good pair ready to go except for the DIN setting. Sorry you are done for the season, I've another month to go before the area closes.
Reply:tune the skies so they dont rust or it will be hard to ski on them next season, dont let them get wet, and use strapes to keep them togeather the boots can just be dried out
Reply:a good way to keep your bases from drying out and the edges from rusting is to get your skis waxed, but ask the shop to leave the layer of wax on. most shops will remove the wax next season if you keep the receipt. the wax will penetrate the bases and keep them air tight all summer.

Reply:a good way to keep your bases from drying out and the edges from rusting is to get your skis waxed, but ask the shop to leave the layer of wax on. most shops will remove the wax next season if you keep the receipt. the wax will penetrate the bases and keep them air tight all summer.

I need some ski shoes for after skiing?
The Moon Boot is back! Check out this month's copy of Skiing magazine.
It actually never went away, but I guess they are pushing it a bit more this year.
Uggs were so last year.
Glad you can admit you are a drone to trends...few 14 year olds have the courage to admit that. I admire you.
Reply:hi, last year i got some DK chalet snow boots and i still love em, they're available in loads of different colours. So comfy, toasty and bouncy! Highly recommended. I got the black and pink ones.
Reply:like the person above me suggested, ski boots are warm and fashionable. Also you might just want to try a normal tennis shoe with warm socks, often enough there is no snow at the base area because the workers sweep it
Reply:Get ski boots?
Not the ones you ski in.
They are these tall boots that have tons of fur and string that hang over the edge.
They sell them at saks.
Reply:Here in Summit County, most of the locals do not hit hang around town in ski boots! We change into a slip on shoe- like Salomon or Merrell

...or yes, we still wear Uggs. They are comfy, cozy and they are pretty low profile when worn under pants. Moon boots are a little showy- and I think that it's mostly tourists who wear them- or someone who has a really funky, showy personality.
For the most part, you just want a good shoe with good treads and will keep you warm. Nobody really cares about shoes as much here as in bigger cities.

Big toe nails falls off when I ski?
I have a custom made boot by a French boot maker.
Still, every season both my big toe nails turn black and falls off.
I ski 7-8 days at a time, and about 21-28 days total a season.
When I ski, I ski hard from 9AM to 4PM, mostly on the moguls.
I'm an advanced skiier on the groomed but sucks on the moguls.
My boot fitter says the way I ski, he can't make any boot that won't make my big toe nails come off no matter how much I pay for them.
He suggested having both my big toe nails be permanently removed or start skiing "easier"
Anyone have the same problem I have with big toe nails?
Big toe nails falls off when I ski?
Wait just on second. DON'T GO BIGGER. Most toe nail related problems happen in a boot that is too big or not being held back in the boot. There are several things you can try. One a custom foot bed. This will support your foot and not allow your foot to shift in the boot. If you already have one try a Shin shim. This forces you heel back in to the pocket again not allowing that foot to shift. Your boot fitter is not looking at the problem go see others. It never hurts to have a second opinion.
Reply:AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH my toes. dude, that's ******-up, some marvelous dedication to a great sport. Have you tried other boots, just incase the french ones are the cause of the problem? you could rent a pair for the first few days next time you go, see if the problem persists.
Reply:The problem is your toes are hitting the boot. Every time you hit a bump, you bruise the toe, Either your boots are too small, or your foot is moving in the boot. You need proper fitting foot beds and boots, also the boots must be tight so you do not move. If this boot fitter can not make the adjustments, find one who can. Maybe he sold a pair the wrong size to you and won't make the adjustment needed.
Reply:It means that your custom made boots do not fit you. They are too small and your big toe is crammed into the front of the boot.
How about wearing another pair of socks to help cushion the blow (but that might not help becuase there might not be enough room).
Removing your toe nails sounds a bit drastic...maybe if you were a professional skier, but (even though you ski hard), it sounds like you are a recreational skier.
Reply:Your bootfitter has issues, find a new one.

Ski carriage?
It's many years ago since I last went ski-ing, and in the 80's, the skis were carried as part of one's baggage allowance. Current allowance is based on the international allowances, although individual carriers will impose their own limits due to fuel surcharges etc.
Since you are travelling with a UK carrier, check out the link below as an example, and click on 'sporting equipment' in the left hand column.

Can you give me ideas for a cute ski outfit? I've never been skiing and NEED HELP! PLEASE!?
I'm 25, 5'7 and 130 lbs. I've NEVER been skiing and I want to look fashionable and cute. I've got a BEBE black puffy ski jacket and black knee-high furry boots. What can I wear with these 2 and still keep warm? Some type of warm legging? Tell me where I can buy these items too. PLEASE HELP!
Can you give me ideas for a cute ski outfit? I've never been skiing and NEED HELP! PLEASE!?
wow...you are more concerned about how you will look than finding out about the ski school you should take so you don't hurt not only yourself, but the others around you??
Please tell me where you live so I can avoid the hill you will be going to??
Go to a place that sells skis, %26amp; you will find clothes that will be WATERPROOF, %26amp; WARM...two things a LITTLE more important than "cute". Oh, and the furry boots will be in your locker...you need to wear ski boots that fit onto the skis, in order to ski.
But, you sound more like the little bunnies who just sit in the bar at the ski hill %26amp; flirt with the instructors.
Reply:u can wear some tight black pants inside your boots and a black shirt dat have the layer like right below you breast n your chest is exposed n you can put a white cami under it

Why can't I ski anymore?
I'm now 35 years old. I started skiing when I was about 16. I have skiied in Quebec, New England, the Poconos, WV, and the mountains of NC. My last ski trip before now was 1998. My husband and I came to Utah to visit family and go skiing in Park City. I'm so bummed! I rented skis and the instant I put the boots on, I feel like my quad and calf muscles are under stress (like the wall-sit exercise where your legs start shaking after a while). I skied for about an hour and ended up having to stop every 500 ft or so and the pain in my legs was so intense! I gave up after 3 hours and can barely walk the day after (everyone else went back out today). I used to LOVE skiing, but it just wasn't enjoyable anymore. I could get NO relief from the pain - even when I stopped. I had to lay on the mountain and get off my feet for any relief. Am I just out of shape (I do exercise, but post-baby am 20 lbs heavier)? Is it a new boot design? Are they they that much different now? Any ideas?
Why can't I ski anymore?
Without being sarcastic, I'd have to welcome you to middle age. I'm 51 now and when I hit 45, everything went to hell in a handbasket. The weight may have something to do with it. Check with your doctor about maybe taking vitamin supplements.
Reply:I love to skii!!! I go skii every year with my family. I think since you haven't been skiing in a while your muscles haven't been that well i shape. Or since you have been getting older you haven't been able to do all the things you've been able to do when you were younger. You may want to strecth everyday to get your muscles back in shape!

Ski Trip %26amp; packing Help?
You didn't mention if your trip is out west, but if so, sunscreen! At higher altitudes u will get sunburn on your face. Also, you need a base layer like thermals or hot chilis to wick sweat away and to keep you warm, from your skin, ski socks and gloves or mittens. If its cold where you're going (like below 15 degrees) you might want hotpacks for your hands and feet.
I also take 2-way radios (wakie talkies) to keep in touch w friends, an ipod, a water bottle cuz its dry at high altitude, some cliff bars or other snack bars to keep in my ski jacket.
Also, sweatshirts and other cotton clothing is not really good in the mountains. It does not insulate well, wo't keep u very warm and doesn't stay dry. Your much better off with synthetic or fleece pullovers or zipups. Dress in layers.
You also got ur camera, cell phone?
Reply:almost forgot, after ski boots, or UGG boots are great for ski trip cuz u can wear them outside or in the condo or hotel or lodge! Report It
Reply:Sun screen of some description is essential no matter where you go, the reflected light off the snow can be quite harsh for your skin (and you may consider leaving your conditioner on your hair for a little longer after shampooing, as the cold can damage hair too).
Thermal gloves and a woollen hat (obviously something which would fit under your helmet) would be good as when ski-ing or snowboarding they are the parts of the body which will get the coldest fastest.
Depending on where you're staying you may want to think about slippers or bed socks too (will you have to go down the hall to the toilet in the night? or will you have en-suite?) Maybe a dressing gown? or a chunky jumper that can be thrown on over your PJ's that could be used in the daytime too.
I found that layers work best against the cold too, so a tee shirt with a sweat shirt then a jumper and ski jacket may be better if you don't want to have to buy a whole new wardrobe of cottons.
Don't forget to take something more "dressy" to wear indoors in the evenings - you may not want to be wearing a tee and jeans every night, or there may be a party/fancy dinner that you'll be attending. (So don't forget any accessories you might like to wear - maybe a pearly pink chapstick for evening "glam" lol)
Undies.... and a few pairs of good warm socks (in case they get wet). Will you get the use of a hot tub or sauna?? - don't forget the swimsuit.
Camera, cellphone.
A pen - to send postcards to people who still like getting postcards - don't forget to buy stamps %26amp; take the addresses too (I've forgotten my address book before, so I take addressed sticky labels now as they take up less space)
Something to do in the evening if you're bored - a book you've always wanted to get round to reading maybe?, or write up a journal of what you've done and where you've been - to go with your photo's (it might help you remember one mountain pic from another when you get home lol)
Somewhere safe to keep money - my Mom sewed mine into a little pocket she made inside my bra, so I'd get a little out each day to put in my bag but I knew the rest would be REALLY safe. (I didn't have hot tub/sauna/pool access when I went ski-ing so my bra was with me for the whole 5 days - under my pillow at night)
Hope that helps - have fun!
