finally getting caught at home after my trip to Chamonix so I thought I would post a quick report and a few pictures. We arrived in Geneva on Sunday Jan 24, unfortunately my skis didn't. They did however get delivered to our hotel the next day. We received a few inches of snow over night so our...

A ski club in my area is advertising a ski trip to Chamonix from Jan 23-31/2010 that I am interested in joining. Does anybody know if based on historical snow fall is the end of January is a good time to ski Chamonix? Booking deadline is Oct 15 so I have to make up my mind soon and don't have...

I don't know when this happened but when I inspected my my bases before going in for lunch I noticed 4" of edging missing under the boot area on one ski. Is it even worth trying get this repaired as the edge on the other ski is also cracked in two places ? Has anyone of you seen similar damage...

I'm heading to Kelowna on Jan.30 and plan to ski at Big White, Silver Star and Revelstoke between Feb.2 and 6th. Do any of you weather experts have any inside information if the current warm and dry spell in B.C. is going to end anytime soon? Looks like Central B.C. is in need of a real dump.

According to mapquest it looks like an 8 hour drive so I'm thinking it would be best to have a hotel room booked before I get there. I have never to this area of Vermont so I don't know about local lodging. The closest rooms I...

Can anyone give me any information about Portes du Soleil? I have an opportunity to go at the end of Feb/beginning of March 2007. How reliable is the snow at this time of year? Is the ski area as good as the maps make it look? Will I need a car, or is public transportation between the ski...

I can only manage to get in 12-15 days of skiing per year so my fitness level is never what it should be. I especially noticed this last Feb. when I took the steep skiing clinic with Extremely Canadian in Whistler. I have been considering to buy a Skiers Edge exercise machine. Compared to other...
