What's the best tool for sharpening my edges between runs? Just something small enough to keep in my pocket and sharpen if I ever feel like my edges need a small lift. I'm not very experienced with tuning skis, so I'd preferably want something easy to use.

Thanks!

Hi, Im currently 14 years old and im thinking of goin into either figure skating or ballroom dancing. But, my problem is that, I cant make up my mind..I hear that Figure Skating costs more because you need/should take ballet classes and you need to have a choreographer n stuff.
Ballroom dancing has long since been my passion but, lately, all i can think of is figure skating. I there such thing as taking it as a hobby? I mean..it's still to expansive for a hobby?

I was just wondering, because when I first joined in November there wern't as many. Please answer if you are a SERIOUS FIGURE SKATER. Not a hockey skater or recreational, a figure skater. Also, can you tell me what level you're in?

P.S. Is anyone skating at Skate Aloha in Hawaii in March????

I'm not calling all snowboarders rude. And I'm not saying that outside the slopes they would be rude. But my husband and I went skiing for the first time a while back, and we obviously weren't as capably of controlling where we were going as more experienced skiers. The problem I had is that most of the snowboarders were rude. They seemed to be intentionally swooping down very close to us (and fast), almost as if they were ticked that we were trying to enjoy learning a new sport and taking up room on "their slopes."

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone agree? And to the snowboarders, if this is so, why?

I am going to Telluride in about 2 weeks. I am wondering if anyone can compare the skiing there to other ski resorts out west. I am most familiary with Deer Valley and Park City Utah. Are the runs similar? Any comparisons would be great.

My brother and I are going up to Paoli Peaks to snowboard this weekend, and want to stay somewhere that isn't too expensive that also has a bar to have some beers and some food after a day on the slopes. Any advice?

My kids (6 and 10) can pretty much ski from top to bottom of a long easy ski slope doing snowplow including making turns. However, they still struggle a lot with the basic technique of getting up after a fall and I am struggling to teach this technique and end up picking them up most of time.

We're OK up to getting in the right position with the skiis parallel and towards the bottom of the hill. It's the final step of getting up the kids struggle with. They can't lift their weight with poles, and I know with the center of weight in the right spot it's possible to get up even without poles. I can do this myself but can't figure out how to explain to them. I would appreciate tips.

I snowboard at various places on the east coast (Vermont, New York, Massachusetts) and have seen it here at some of the bigger mountains. It mainly seems to be bras with the occasional panty thrown in for variety, I guess. I have also spoken to friends who have seen it at resorts in other parts of the country, but no one has an explination.

I need to know a few things about ski waxing:

First off, how often should I do it? I take skiing quite seriously, and am looking for decent performance out of my skis during races without breaking the bank. However, I don't want to go too far. If I were to wax only every once in a while, what would be the maximum time I should go without waxing?

Secondly, which wax should I get? I'm looking in the price range of around 20-30 US dollars. I was looking at Swix category IV waxes. Am I on the right track? And which one exactly would you recommend for New England skiing? I'm looking at LF6 because that temp range sounds right.

Finally, can someone detail the process of waxing a ski with an iron? I just have to make sure I know how to get it done. And about how much wax is used each time I wax my skis? I need to know how much to buy...
