Going to New Mexico and have never been in real snow before. Are ski boots necessary? special socks? Tennis shoes? Goggles? Thanks so much!

Bindings and skis purchased online and not from the place that will mount them. But have done business with the store in the past.

I've just recently started to ski, and I love it. My question however is, "what is the goal", what is the aim of skiing? Besides fun / pleasure / thrill. When you are at the top of a blue / black run looking down, what are you trying to accomplish (besides getting to the bottom 8P ). Is it control, should one attempt to turn multiple times in order to gain the most control, or stay straight and grab speed? I understand that it will vary depending on person, I was just wondering if there is some sort of end "goal" I should be working on obtaining. Thanks for any answers.

I already know about the basic 'wedge' technique on my first time skiing.(spreading my skis at the back and narrowing them in the front) I want to learn the technique where you stop quickly by rapidly turning perpendicular/sideways?? (if that makes sense...)

I have alot of trouble while going downhill because it's just so fast and i want to stop, but the wedge technique doesn't help! Help please!

I've been doing a little online browsing and have come across a website that sells ski gloves and snowboard gloves. What, if anything, is the difference?

They pretty much look to be the same to me...

For the record, I ski and board, so would one type be better or more versatile than the other?

I am, 6'2" 215lbs (188 cm, 97.5kg). I am a very aggressive, and will be spending my time on advanced slopes and some bowls (out west USA). I will be on both groomed and ungroomed tracks. I am not the wealthiest of persons, so a pair that would last more than a season would be better, and I have no problem using last years' equipment (new). Thanks for any help!

Looking for great cross-country skiing on groomed trails in North America, preferably Western US/Canada. We've been to Silver Star Mtn in BC which we liked alot, and have been many times to Royal Gorge and Tahoe-Donner X-country. Looking for a place with lodging close by, hopefully skiably close. Anybody have some recommendations? Thanks!

I know absolutely nothing about buying skis...what the numbers mean, what brands are good, etc. I am a 14 year old girl, 5' 4" and slim. I ski blue squares and am just starting black diamonds. I will be skiing at least 5 times this year. Lots of skis I saw online say things like "great for all kinds of terrain!" but i only go on the groomed, chair-lift-accesible slopes. I never go to explore the mountain or anything like that. I am only interested in recreational skiing, and i want my skis to last for as long as possible. Oh, and I also need to buy bindings and boots. My feet are probably done growing, but nto definitely. What kinds of skis/boots/bindings should I look for? Any tips are appreciated!!

P.S.- I can't spend too much money, so no super-expensive brands.

I'm not looking for brand recommendations. I'm looking for an explanation of the different ski types. For example, do I get soft or stiff flex? long or short skis? shaped or straight? I am an intermediate skier about 6 ft. 165 lbs. I like smooth ski runs (NOT moguls) . Thanks!

I just purchased brand new ski boots that were very carefully fitted to me. I haven't skied in two years, so I am a little out of shape, but I don't remember skiing being this painful. I was in agony going down the hill, and then going up in the lift, my feet were throbbing and tingling... Is that normal for a combination of not skiing for two years and new boots?

My family and I want to take a ski trip out to either the Denver area or the Salt Lake City area. We have 4 people in our family, and we can't seem to get the price under $1000. We need to buy plane tickets from Chicago and lift tickets, which are pushing us above $1000. We are looking to go around Feburary or January. If you know of any good deals out there then please tell me! Thanks!!!
