Its 2007 and its getting hotter every year. Do you think any time soon global warming will effect snowboarding and end the sport? Or will that be in years to come like 50 to 100? Or do you think its gonna end snowboarding in 10 to 20 years? Basicly do you think global warming will effect snowboarding that much to end it any time soon?

1st) It would seem to me that it would always be best to sharpen before you wax. Do you agree?

2nd) However, is it ok to run the stone and bevel guide down the ski after the bases have been tuned (i.e. waxes & structured)? Or does this degrade all that hard earned tuning?

I have a 1991 polaris 650 tripple that is backfiring through the exhaust and has NO power when it gets warm. It revs as though its tied to a very heavy trailer... Changed the plugs to no avail.. help ?!

Hopefully you've given both a shot, but I'm going up to the snow in a couple of days, and I need to decide if I'll learn snowboarding, or stick to skiing...I don't know if they're anything alike, but I enjoyed surfing, so is snowboarding similar? Thanks for your input!

Our kids are beginner downhill skiers and need lots of gentle slopes with nice long runs in New England, preferably Vermont or New Hampshire, or even Massachusetts, but not large resorts, as we're not crazy about the big crowds.

Ok so I am going skiing with a few girls, all of which have either never been skiing, or only gone once or twice. Now I'm a guy, and pretty advanced at skiing. How can I teach them to ski besides just going up and down the bunny hill all day. My goal is to have one or more of them going down the bigger hills with me by the end of the day.

Do you yell to avoid any possible collisions? Or, any other way to warn people on the trail?

I have snowboarded a total of about 12 days on vacation but am soon going to college at Colorado @ Boulder and am planning to get my own board and snowboard frequently at the nearby Eldora Resort. I can complete fast skidded or linked J-turns with ease on greens and on some blues. How long would it take for me to fly down most runs and be able to tackle most of the jumps and rails at the terrain park? I am planning on boarding at least once a week and possibly more.

ok, in late january i'm going up north to go skiing/ snowboarding with my family and another family. i'm just learning to snowboard (i did it like 3 years ago and broke my wrists, and i've taken like 5 lessons since then) and i'm really bad at it, i've only been on the chairlift 2x and it didn't go very well. i can pretty much link turns, but that's about it. so i guess i want to know: how long will it take to be good enough to go down some easy chairlift hills, will i be able to do it in january? i'm on xmas break right now and i'm planning to board as much as i can. my friend that's going in Jan. is pretty good and i'll be hanging around with her like the whole time, she'll go down the easier hills, but she won't want to wait for me if i'm falling the whole time.

I am in the 8th grade and learned to ski in the 5th grade. I live in missouri and have been skiing in colorado once. This year i wanted to take up snowboarding because my dad and i want to travel to colorado and i thought it would be fun to try snowboarding....

so how long do you think it'll take to learn? i know everyone is different. if it helps, i took on skiing very quickly, to my surprise. keep in mind it'll be on more of ice than real snow. I don't think i'll have days to learn, if at most, half a day because we don't have passes and probably can't pay for additonal days.

also, aside from the boots and snowboard, is dressing any different than i would for skiing?

My snowboard is a Rossignol, and it is mainly red and cream with a bit of black and orangey-yellow. There is only one image in it, and that is on the back, it is of a rooster. XD Does anyone know what model it is? I think it must be an older one because it isn't listed on their website and I Can't find it ANYWHERE.

Aluminum wing tip on leading base edge of snowboard is starting to delaminate. The LTD board has only been used a few times and is in great condition so I don't want to get rid of it. Looks like a design defect, emailed LTD but they haven't responded. Does this happen often, and can it be repaired with epoxy and clamps?

I am going snowboarding for the first time and I don't know what to wear. I don't want to spend like 170 dollars for some snow pants right away. So whats the alternative? I have got a good jacket and hoodie but it is the pants that I seem to be screwed on. :(
