stiffer is usually more advanced, however you need to go to a ski shop and GET FITTED. That is the most important thing with boots, more important then model or equipment level.

I'd reconsider your budget, maybe 200 for boots, 100 for bindings, however you still wont be able to get the performance you want, and with those prices your looking at last years used intermediates. If you can I'd say atleast 300-400 for the boots (new - still looking at last years models), or...

I was there 2 weeks ago, and conditions were rather variable. There was mostly a little loose snow on top, or groomed hard pack (still carvable). However certain slopes were ice sheets, or sometimes on a slope where conditions had been good all of the sudden you would hit an ice sheet while...

Phew, thanks! I was getting a bit worried...

I just got back from tremblant last weekend and some advice. DO NOT STAY IN THE SAME HOTEL AS THE SKI TRAVEL GROUP (the person taking your reservation will know about them). They take high schoold trips from dc area every weekend to tremblant. I was on one of their trips and had a great time...

I took the plung to buy equipment this year (I ski about 17 days a year). My ability level at the beggining of the season when I bought my equipment was intermediate - I could do the whole mountaint at places like wintergreen, whitetail, and liberty (crappy mid-atlantic resorts) but wasn't...

I just noticed the edges on my skis are just barely starting to rust. Other than that the skis show pretty much no wear, a few small scatched in the bases, but nothing that noticably affects performance. Anyways, is this anything to worry about, or is their anything I can do to fix it?

thanks for the tips. my first try i leaned a lil to far back on the landing, but as soon as my tips started to burry I fell to the side so my skis wouldn't snap :). I landed it on my second try, now I just gotta up my confidence so I can get it right every time and move on to a 360.

thanks! I'll try it out next wkend.

I'm commited to going next weekend, you guys think things are gonna be looking any better?

Just got back from a day trip to whitetail. The conditions were surprisingly good given they've only had a couple days of snowmaking to start from scratch. All the greens were open (didn't go on any of them), a few blues, and one black. The blues and black were really nice and bumpy by 11ish...

In the south east, when nothing difficult is open the terrain park is, and I've learned to really enjoy air :) I was wondering how you would to a 180 off a jump. First, I don't have twin tips, however my skis to have minitips in the back and are fine for skiing backwards, so is this possible...

There is an email at the bottom. Anyone wanna send them a note telling them there info is crazy. Like mentioned before it could be dangerous for someone who does not know much to follow their advice.

I'm just wondering why a turtle neck is so essential if you have a neck warmer. They look rather warm and fluffy... pardon my ignorance :)

Thanks, almost forgot it!

I'm debating between 200 weight or 300 weight fleece. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the help. I'll post full shopping list to be critiqued when I get there.

I'm going skiing in Mt. Tremblant this year at the end of january. The furthest north I've been skiing is in pennsylvania. I hear it can get pretty cold. What do you need to stay warm. I currently have, gore-tex shell, gore-tex pants (lined), gore-tex gloves, long underwear, and a sweatshirt...

I ended up getting the k2 escape 5500 (170mm length), because most of my skiing will be done at wintergreen (a rich freind has a house there and I'll probably go with him most weekends) so that means I won't be seeing much powder or tress and I don't really need the extra thickness. the other...
