Snow Skiing

I am planning on taking a year out before i go to uni and want to take a ski instructors course in Canada. I know they cost around £6500 ($13,000) but i am wondering if you have to pay that all before you go or you can work some of the debt off in the following ski season?

Thanks a lot :)

I only payed 50 bucks for both pair of skis was that a good deal? I tried to find info on the subject and i couldn't find anything on the web about people skiing on older 3 pin 75mm wax skis.

Here is a picture of the cross country skis i bought:

I tried to look them up to see how old they are couldn't find anything?

I love to ski, but lately my hands have been super sensative to the cold and they are always freezing numb, I have a good pair of gloves but i think they are getting old
Any suggestions for super warm gloves?

I am 16 and I have been talking with my friends about going skiing either the end of this season or 08/09 season. My Dad seems to think that you need to be 18 to buy the insurance, does anyone know if this is true?

Don't they know how lame they look?

Like Daffy and Spread Eagle? Come on, skiers have to know how stupid they look. It reminds me of that MadTV skit, with Stewart "look what I can do, wheeee!"

So why do they do it?

The boots I'm using are probably a few years old..they were given to me. I want to cross country ski but I also don't want to break my ankle and I wonder if they make a supportive boot that would give me more support or is this something that I will overcome with practice.

I have never gone skiing. And would really like to try it. Should I get adult lessons or should I just get out on an easy slope and test it out. Should I rent equipment since I am only trying it or should I try to buy it used. I don't want to try it and hate it and have spent a ton of money on equipment. Any suggestions?

It is already snowing and I want to know if there is anything to do to make it snow faster? My friends say if you flush ice down the toilet and wear your pajamas inside out to makeit snow faster is that true? How do you make it snow faster?

I already have the plate screwed into my skis. Now how do I correctly position them? Should they be forward set? What tools do I need? Can I do this myself? Thank you for the help.

Is it okay to have them standing up or should you lie them down? Do you keep them in a bag? Is the garage okay for storing? Any tips would be helpful.

There is no powder in Lake Tahoe now, but I know it will come.
