I'm going skiing end of January (last minute decision) for one week. I went skiing 9 years ago and did really well in one week, but I didn't build up my leg strength at all before and I suffered badly with my knees for three weeks. I want to be more ready this time and wanted to know a) have I left it too late to exercise? b) could you recommend the type of excersise and how much/often c) would I be better having a go at snowboarding? any other tips or advice you may have to make things easier I would be glad to receive. I'm 46 woman 8st 8lb 5'5" and the only exercise I get now is walking my dog twice a day.

I have never been snowboarding, and I need a good winter activity so that I don't get cabin fever...

I would like a good beginner board, can anyone tell me some good brands/types/things to look for when buying a beginner snowboard? I seriously don't want to end up with a crappy wal-mart special... and i'd like one that I won't get sick of right away, too. (I'm thinking kinda like a beginner motorcycle rider buying a rebel 250, you're going to grow out of it quick)

I plan on taking lessons at the local ski resort as they have lessons for beginners...

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks...

I am planning on taking a year out before i go to uni and want to take a ski instructors course in Canada. I know they cost around £6500 ($13,000) but i am wondering if you have to pay that all before you go or you can work some of the debt off in the following ski season?

Thanks a lot :)

How does the Canadian Olympic Committee decide how much money to give each winter sport’s national organization? For example, do organizations like Biathalon Canada and Hockey Canada get the same amount or not? If not, which sport in Canada gets the most funding?

I recently purchased a k2 va va voom snowboard, which I knew was a freestyle board, but I didn't know was a jib board. I'm an amatuer who's interested in the park and rails, but also wants to be able to make it down a trail in one piece. I'm not concerned about going very fast, but will I still be able to turn and carve on this board?

I don't know much about them. I'm looking for a freestyle board that comes with bindings. I'm male, 5'7, about 160 lbs and my shoe size is about 9.5. By what criteria should I discriminate? Should I choose based just on my height and weight?

do anyone have any idea on whice boot besides columbia brands is good in icey condtions? i recently bought a pair, of the columbia brand , they are good but in snowy conditions, as i fell and hurt my self in the icey condtions, seems they have know traction on ice.. i live in a apartment complex and the maintance men did not put down salt that day it was more ice than snow, so i figured wearing my boots would aid in the traction, but it did not i fell flat on my behind, so if anyone have any boot brand suggestions i will be glad t have them, thanks..

I only payed 50 bucks for both pair of skis was that a good deal? I tried to find info on the subject and i couldn't find anything on the web about people skiing on older 3 pin 75mm wax skis.

Here is a picture of the cross country skis i bought:

I tried to look them up to see how old they are couldn't find anything?
