Hi everyone
I've recently booked a holiday to Perisher Blue ski resort, starting on the 1st July, and though I know the ski season there started abouyt a month ago, I have no idea of snow quality. Anyone care to give opinions/predictions? Just so I might know to expect decent snow by then, or muddy/slushy overused runs. Thanks!

hi, is there anybody who can help me?

I was thinking of summer ski at timberline lodge in oregon. But I'm a tourist and I don't really know if there's like any tour package that includes accomodation and travel to the area.
could somebody help me regarding to this? A referral to tour agents is welcome.

also, if there are cheaper options in south america, I'm willing to consider. Hopefully some expert can give me advice on summer skiing.

Honestly, when I've done badly in a comp, I look at it and think yah yah yah I know exactly where and why and how I messed up. But then there are times when I did well, and felt so awesome about what I did . . . and then I look at the video and still cringe! HA! I look slower, knees aren't as bent as much as I think, jumps aren't as high, spins aren't as fast, extentions aren't as extended - know what I mean?? Maybe videos don't justify how you look skating in real life . . . or maybe it's totally telling the truth - HA! Please don't be mean here about MY skating . . . I'm just wondering how you guys "see" your skating!

The day after the first time I went skiing I thought I'd never be able to move again. I'd like to prevent that from happening again.

the collar (the part that goes over the mouth) of my snowboard jacket smells really bad from being wet all the time, and possibily from my spit.

i tried febreeze, that just made it smell like febreeze + the wet smell.
I dont want to use detergent on the whole jacket cuz i remember you are not suppose to because it would cut ruin the waterproofing.
So i used detergent on just the collar then rinsed it, but the weird smell still lingers.

is there any natural stuff i can use? like lemon mixed with water or something..........

also, if anyone know how to get rid of the smell of wet snowboard boot liners, please let me know.

thanks!

I really like skiing but I would like to have my own skis. I don't have enough money for new, so I think used would be great. Any Ideas?

I've been taking ice skating lessons for seven weeks now (I signed up for Basic Pre-Alpha because I'm an absolute beginner). For some reason, my coach is already teaching me how to do spirals. I thought those weren't supposed to be learned until Freestyle 1 which is WAY ahead of Basic Pre-Alpha. I'm not exceptionally good at skating or anything, so it's not like I'm a really fast learner and she's moving me along because I'm really good.

Also, I'm 19 years old...could that be why she's teaching me alot more advanced stuff..because older people learn faster than little kids or something?

Should I complain about her or is it normal for older people to be taught things alot quicker?

I don't understand how the hammer works in curling. I thought the last shot was alternated between the two teams, but today i watched usa vs germany and it was the 9th end, 5-4 germany. usa had last shot with germany lying one. usa could've easily tied it 5-5 but they knocked both rocks out and "protected" the hammer, according to the announcer. Could someone explain this to me?
