Of the 56.9 million visits to ski resorts each year, how many of those visitors are skiing in a group? Any data (with sources) about group statistics at ski resorts would be great!

I am looking for some really good ski gloves. My son has some but his hands still get cold. Where are the best sporting goods store? The ones he has now are Gordini-Dri Max waterproof. These do not keep the hands warm.

I race NASTAR with its short courses and I realize that the start is quite important, as it makes up a huge portion of the time on a 25 second course, and I also realize that my starts aren't that great. Any tips?

what is the difference between junior and adult skis if they are the same height? I am 5'1", and 16 years old. when i went to my local ski shop to look at skis (to rent or buy), i was looking at a pair of juniors that were the right height, but he said that i'm not a "junior", and told me to look at a pair of adult skis that where the same height, except about $350 more.

so, whats the difference? is he just trying to get more money out of me...or are the junior skis really made differently so a 16 year old can't wear them?

a little info:
1. price range: <$450

2. currently a recreational intermediate skier (i.e. i can get down from black diamonds without too much trouble.), but I'd like to improve, and want to carve really well

3. i'm the slow and controlled type, though i'd like to work on speed on steep runs

4. usually ski groomed runs, but would like to explore as I get better

5. Preference: female specific light weight skis

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!

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 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...

What i want to know is we are having 5 days tution if i pick it up quicker than the rest of the group will i get moved on to a little bit more advanced group.
