I love to ski, but lately my hands have been super sensative to the cold and they are always freezing numb, I have a good pair of gloves but i think they are getting old
Any suggestions for super warm gloves?

I am 16 and I have been talking with my friends about going skiing either the end of this season or 08/09 season. My Dad seems to think that you need to be 18 to buy the insurance, does anyone know if this is true?

Don't they know how lame they look?

Like Daffy and Spread Eagle? Come on, skiers have to know how stupid they look. It reminds me of that MadTV skit, with Stewart "look what I can do, wheeee!"

So why do they do it?

I am looking to shop for a new winter jacket and I noticed how some jackets are insulated with 100g of Primaloft. Would this be compared to a 550 fill down Jacket, or more?

Also, what is the difference between 100g of Primaloft insulation vs. 200g of Quallofil insulation. I read that Primaloft is better than Quallofil, but given that the jacket is insulated with twice the amount of quallofil, does that make it warmer? Thanks.

Ok so I snowboard at mountain creek in new jersey. Its my first time. Theres the bunny slope lol and then the other mountains. The other mountains are all a lot higher but the problem is this. I dont know if I am just scared and am exagerating what will happen to me, if Im afriad of heights or if im just not experianced yet. Should I go a few more times and get my stops balance and turns good? Or am I ready and I am just to scarred and I am making it worse than it already is?

Im looking into filming some snowboarding videos this year and I need a good camera. I was wondering if the cold is a big factor in this and how big of a problem water proofing is. I don't plan to be falling while filming, but stuff does happen.
I also dont want a helmet cam since I dont want a bunch of 1st person views.
I am not willing to spend over 1000$ on this (unless there is no other option) also it cant be huge since we will need to be moving it around alot

The boots I'm using are probably a few years old..they were given to me. I want to cross country ski but I also don't want to break my ankle and I wonder if they make a supportive boot that would give me more support or is this something that I will overcome with practice.

I have a pair of boots that are my shoe size (12) but they hurt like a mofo after only half a run. I have to loosen them up and ride like that the rest of the day. They are pretty old Vans "Fargo" boot. Should they be hurting at all? What brands are good for comfortable boots? thanks!

I have never gone skiing. And would really like to try it. Should I get adult lessons or should I just get out on an easy slope and test it out. Should I rent equipment since I am only trying it or should I try to buy it used. I don't want to try it and hate it and have spent a ton of money on equipment. Any suggestions?
