I am going skiing in a few weeks for the first time, and I'm not really sure what to take! I have an idea of the basics but was hoping you could help me out with some suggestions of things I'll need.
Thanks!

The lines in the snow on ski slopes, particularly downhill which are so steep, are precise, neat and don't disappear when the snow melts in the sun. How are they put there and how do they stay there?

I'm starting to get into racing, but I don't have a real racing ski. It wasn't made for racing (Blizzard IQon 7200 if you are actually familiar with the ski). But I can definitely race in it. What sets it apart from the real racing skis? Will I really benefit from having a true racer? Or is it not worth changing skis, as this one is relatively new?

I'm not necessarily looking to become a hockey player or a figure skater. I just want to learn how to skate well enough so I can play the occasional hockey game on the ice with my friends, or just go for the occasional leisure skate.

How long do you think it would take to learn some basic skating skills?

I really cant get my front leg high enough in my split jump. I do a mohawk tap into my jump and I can do a left leg forward split but I can't do it in my jump. Don't recommend ballet or asking my ballet teacher because I have.

please dont answer with ballet or yoga. i do both already. i want some specific exercises to raise the height of my spiral. Its not bad at the moment but i saw a girl at the rink the other day with such a lovely spiral and my target is to do one like hers. i already use the weight technique (practising off ice with ankle weights) but does any one have any really good ones?

thankyou!!

is there anything i can do to get out stains WITHOUT losing the waterproofing?

I have been so busy this winter season with trying to finish up high school and all that so I haven't been able to drive up to the mountains to shred. But i'm hoping to go on the 28th and 29th of March because Donner Ski ranch is having a 10 dollar lift ticket day. However i'm a bit concerned that there won't be any snow since we've been having super hot weather...like 80 degrees. ( i know it's insane) I'm in cali by the way. So anyone else in cali...do you know?

I want to hot wax my board, and I've done it before, but this question revolves around the type of wax. I've seen different types for different temperatures. My question is, why wouldn't you just use the coldest temperature wax you can find, and then be all set no matter where you ride? Are you going to slow down or something if the wax temperature doesn't match the snow temperature?
