I've been skiing since I was 3 years old (ahem, that's 34 years now) . . and I want to throw away my corporate lifestyle, head to the hills, and be a ski instructor. Looking to head out to Montana, Wyoming, or Colorado.
I imagine it's a pretty competitive market, given the lifestyle.

Does anyone have any tips or career advice on how to become certified in ski instruction, any good places to live in the West, and any places in need of ski instructors.

Thanks in advance for your answers :-)

So, on MLK day I went snowboarding for the first time. It was the first time I had ever been up on a mountain to snowboard. I have never been skiing. I learned how to strap in because I was with a large group from school. Next thing I know, I was goin' down the mountain. I was a fast learner. It was a lot of fun and I really want to learn but I have to wait for my liscense to be able to regularly go. I'm 15, I really like snowboarding and I want to compete in the future. How can I improve/ a program I can join to get better and learn. I live in the pacific northwest.

Are there any ski veterans out there who will reveal the secret of a long skiing life and what tells you when you are no longer fit enough for the slopes. Is it intuition or a physical feeling?

I think she is a fantastic figure skater. She has beautiful choreography and expression, and she looks exactly like the great Ukranian rhythmic gymnast, Anna Bessonova. I think Sarah Maier of Switzerland could be the 2010 Olympic champion. Does anyone else think the same?

I'm just wondering what kinds of free or cheap winter acitivites my husband and I can do for fun? We like going for walks and hikes, and enjoy snowboarding when we can afford it. What other winter activities can we do with each other?

They make boards with a full carbon-fiber deck, which is supposed to be ultra light-weight, and extremely strong.

Just curious if anyone else out there rides one or is curious about them? I'm probably gonna pick one up during the offseason, but i was just wondering if anyone has some input?

Has any person out there tested these burton c60 bindings? How do you actually like them (are they comfortable enough and do they ride really good) and who do you recommend them to? Are they good for many people that freeride?

I've been riding for 5 years and for some reason, this is the first time I've heard of detuning a board. Friends just got me a new Burton Cruzer. Does it need to be detuned, and if so, where's the best place to get it done? Sport Chalet ok?
