In France anyway. There has been less and less snow in recent seasons, but more and more crowded slopes and accommodation. Seems like some resorts are treating lift passes like a monopoly, charging around 200 euros for 6 days.

Thinking of going boarding over easter but unsure of good resorts, I have been to Chamonix and Verbier, Les Deux Alpes and Les Arcs.

Got any other good suggestions?

Is there anything I can put on the bottom of my skis to make them glide over the snow faster? I've found that my friend tends to pick up speed and retain that speed much faster and longer when we glide next to each other on the snow. He's got a different brand of skis, but what would make his faster than mine and how can I catch up?

1953 saw the successful ascent of the world's tallest mountain by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tensing.
But supposing Mount Everest didn't stop there, but went up and up for ever, or at least into effective space.
People would still be challenged to climb it. With modern equipment they could have got higher I'm sure - but how high?
Conversley as it is obviously impossible to climb into space even today, maybe Hillary and Tensing would not have felt sufficiently motivated to make the climb to 29000 feet then, as it would only be, say, 5% to the top. So perhaps the record would have actually been LESS than its current height.

I've been snowboarding about 7 times this year and getting tired of always renting a new board. I went 2 weeks ago and rented a 152 Burton Blunt- I loved it. I was going off of jumps and 50/50 board sliding like nothing. Last week I had to get a mountain board and got stuck with a Atomic 155 Wide- I sucked all day and could not land a jump. So I've decided I need to buy a board but with so many options on the market I'm lost. I love the park, but I live in the Pacific Northwest and we got dumped on this year. I want a board that I can take in the park, and go off kickers, but will allow me to hit the mountain during pow days - These are the boards I've looked at

GNU Carbon High Beam 153 2006/07
Rome Crail 153 2006/07
Rome Graft 153 2006/2007

If any experts out there could point me in the right direction I'd be stoked.

I just got back to the ice today after three months of healing from a fractured tibia. I want to know some exercises that will help me with balance and Stability. I Started with gliding and I got in a couple crossovers but I noticed that I can't glide on one foot as long as I could pre-fracture. If you can help that would be awesome.

I have always had a K2 board and have enjoyed it a lot. But I am now in the market for a new snowboard as my current board is way too short and way too narrow. I recently was talking to a guy at a sport shop and he recommended Burton over K2. He said the new Custom Wide that is coming out would be perfect for me. Any opinions on Burton over K2? Also, does anyone know when you can get your hands on this new Custom Wide? Recommendations for boot and binding packages? Money no object....
