Skied the same trail all day? Throwing laps on the same trail from start to finish?

Do any "real" skiers (there's a can of worms) rent skis? I ask because in another thread somebody mentioned that to save airline baggage $$ they would rent. I'm not stupid I see the pros and cons to each. Rental skis are no longer necessarily second-rate entry level boards. But as for me...

So sad to see the pictures of her- and she will be in a wheelchair for a long time because of a teenager's disregard for the skiers code. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=13566770

my 2002 subaru outback has a problem. there is a sqeaking noise coming from the front of the car, even when not moving. it gets worse the harder i turn the wheel (again, even if I'm at a standstill). When I'm driving, the squeaking is still there, but goes away completely while I depress the...

Other thread just got me curious what people are using for layering. I realize its different for different days/temps/weather etc. Any tips/tricks picked up? Inbounds Bottom: Patagonia Cap 3 base, Patagonia R1 pant if its cold, Norrona Goretex proshell bib pants. Top: EMS techwick base (or...

Just watched one of the best ski/snowboard flicks I have ever seen. Although I am a proud skier, and love to engage in the skier vs snowboarder debate lightheartedly with my buddies, one of the big mountain athletes I respect the most is Jeremy Jones- even if he is a snowboarder :) In "Deeper"...

Skied Roundtop top to bottom tonight in the snow. pics comin tomorrow. Enough of a base to link turns all the way down- not too shabby. left my poles in alaska by accident so it was interesting at times. more to come tomorrow.

In one word, what is skiing to you?

Because I think my girlfriends parents hate me. edit: actually they love me, they just don't like how skiing is such a big priority to me.

im drunk but before it go to bed i just want to say all i want to do in m life is ski. alpinezone needs to know this

i hear rumors or killington being nasty (rightly so?) to hikers. Im not trying to get yelled at.

********UPDATE. I ADDED MORE PICS LIKE I SAID I WOULD.***************** I've had my eye on this line for two years now, and finally got a chance to ski it. Started off with a rowdy river crossing on a pipeline, then a bushwack through dense temperate rainforest, then we hit railroad tracks...

If cost was not an issue. If getting any amount of time off work was not an issue. If you were not tied down by anything... What is the one run/line/mountain etc. you would want to bag? Pictures encouraged.

...because i just got a great deal on Norrona Lofoten Womens Gore-Tex Pro Shell in XL. A quick look at the sizing chart showed that as far as inches go, a womens XL is pretty much exactly the same as my size. The color is sweet too. Will I regret this? Too late, I just bought them.

Because I don't have money for a hotel. free camping anywhere? parking lot?

Where is the location of the shot at approx. 3:40 in the clip? I'm assuming Chamonix somewhere- anyone know which peak? Doesn't look quite like the Dent de Geant... From MSP's Claim http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AA26LbyPm4

Due to the lack of any new snow in the past week and the stable snowpack, my buddy and I decided that we should go ahead and attempt one of the lines that has been haunting us for a while now: The Y-Not Couloir. As Andrew McLean states in his guidebook The Chuting Gallery, "...“Y not? A 40'...

I had the opportunity to guide a 24 day ski mountaineering course outside of Haines, AK this summer. Skills involved alpine travel, glacier travel, crevasse rescue, anchor building, Avy I, etc all in the context of skiing big objectives in the Chilkat mountains. Didn't get much skiing action on...
