I'm going skiing with my friend this coming week and he is athletic, but he has never skied (sp?) before. I have gone skiing once a year since I was about 5 and am an intermediate skier.

Unlike some other sports that I do year long, I never learned the terminology, techniques, or mechanics of skiing. I pretty much just go by instinct.

My friend will only be visiting for 4 days, and skiing for 3. He does not want to pay for an instructor, so he wants me to teach him.

What are some things that might be second nature to me but that I should teach him in order to get him to a level where he is having fun?

I got a World Industries snowboard, and 5150 bindings. Do you think they'll last for a long time?

That's the board I have, Now I need to find some bindings.
My buddy has some bindings that you simply snap your boot (specialy made with attatchments on the bottom) into a clip that's attatched to the board. No straps at all. You simply press a release to free your boot. I want these, but can't find them anywhere. He got the board and boots second, or third hand, and has no idea where it all came from.
Anyone ever heard/seem/have/know where I can buy?
Anything help?

My board has a pretty deep scratch on it. it still rides fine, but its just one of those things id rather have gone and i was wondering if i could just take it in to a boardshop and get it repaired and how much it might cost. ive never run into this problem before so could you guys help me? ive gotten scratches before but none that made me want to repair them.

Im in NYC and would like to plan a trip to go skiing with a group of people and don't want to go too far [out of state is fine just not something outrageous]. Please recommend me some places or a good site that has reviews. I'd like to know everything from hospitality to how the actual snow was.

Last year I dropped a lot of money ($400) on a new pair of Lange ski boots. The first day on the slopes with the new boots was certainly no picnic, but that is to be expected with any boot on its' first day or two out on the snow. It's been almost two seasons now and although there is less pain now than there was on my first day out with them, they still cause me a considerable amount of pain. I tried a custom insole, and...no dice. It may haver actually made the pain worse. Now with the boots and the custom insole, I'm out almost $500 and definately cant afford to buy new boots right now. Do you know of anything I can do, any little tricks that might help?

Any suggestions or advise you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

i can ski but im not great at it. i would like to become better though. the thing about skiing is i have a hard time controlling myself, ESPECIALLY when the snow is icy. (my skiis skid and i can't stop/slow down.) also, im scared of going down those huge hills on the intermediate/beginner trails. can someone offer some advice on how to control my skiis (other than using the pizza, that never really works.)? also, please advise on how to improve!
