Ok, I'm going skiing tomorrow, I got my skis mounted about a month or two ago and I've ained about ten pounds since then, if it's just ten pounds over then will it effect the release like alot or whatever, but if it does, does anyone know how to change the weight setting on skis?

I have purchased a pair of used very long thin set of used skis and have trouble controlling them. Should I continue to struggle with hopes of improving or trade the long thin skis for a short pair with more control?

I ripped it up for a couple of hours one day. Snow was softer than I expected. I thought it would be icy and crusty. It was surprisingly and pleasantly rippable. Loved it!

It was really weird to walk in from 110 degrees to 20. It felt awesome!

I'm going skiing on Thursday 12/27. For the 1st time. I'm ONLY going for 1 day so i don't wanna buy anything expensive . The weather is going to be ABOUT 40-45 DEGREES. So what should i wear? I'm thinking about buying ski pants ( CHEAP ONES.) So far heres what i have:
- Hat, Earmuffs, A Puffy Jacket?, Gloves, Mittens, Extra sweat pants, Tank on the inside, A long sleeved shirt, and a hoodie, Socks, an extra pair of socks.
~~What do you suggest to wear? & as for ski pants, where to but them at? NO ONLINE STORES. ( I'm only 14 if that helps anything.) THANKS !

So we're both in our early twenties and haven't skiied since we were really young. We live in Boston but are willing to do up to a 4-5 hour drive. We want a place that's good for beginners, a smaller more intimate setting, and has the potential to be kind of a nice romantic weekend getaway. Does anyone know of any good places in the area that fit that description? Also, about how much would we end up spending on renting equipment, etc? Is it a big hassle?

Thanks!

I am looking for silk because it is better for the skin. But I know polyester can be warmer for avid skiers. Should silk do it? Is polyester that much better?

I have a pair of fairly old boots and I am looking to upgrade, but I know very little about boots. I was looking at the Dalbello Aerro 50's (found here: http://www.buckeyesportscenter.com/products.jsp?criteria=boots,mens&label=Mens%20Ski%20Boots )but I noticed in the description of the boots it said for beginner to intermediate skiers, is that just a suggestions or should I spend the extra $200+ to get the boots that say they are for advanced skiers? Any help or personal experiance suggestions?

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?

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.

To ensure a good winter of skiing I am wondering to whom I should pray and how. Multiple deities acceptable.
