Skiing

She won 2 ... a gold medal in downhill and a bronze medal in Super G.

it depends on what type of skiing your doing. You ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO wear a helmet!!! Even if you are a beginner and you say you will not fall hard enough to do damage you are lying to yourself. Even if you don't fall hard per se, the snow can still be as hard as concrete and sometimes you fall directly on your head, not landing on anything else first (yes, it happens. I've done it many times, it still really hurts with a helmet, don't want to know what it's like without). Or, if you are what you would call an expert and you say you won't fall, again you're lying to yourself. I've been skiing for a long time and I'm pretty good and I still fall occasionally, and when I do it is a full on wipe out, not a simple fall. I hit a tree a few years ago hard enough to permanently damage the tree, four years later there is still missing bark. I am lucky I was wearing a helmet! Here's a stat for you, 14% of ski injuries are head injuries, around 90% of ski deaths are caused by head injuries and around 85%-90% of these people weren't wearing helmets. At my home mountain, Big White, someone died simply because they decided not to wear a helmet, they hit a tree, HARD, and sustained serious head injuries which killed him, which also could have been prevented with a helmet. I think it's a no brainer. Please wear a helmet.

No, Sondre Norheim did not invent skiing, but he was a significant figure in its development. Skiing has ancient origins, with evidence of its use dating back thousands of years in various cultures. Norheim, a Norwegian skier in the 19th century, is often credited with popularizing modern skiing techniques and equipment, particularly in the realm of downhill skiing and telemark skiing. His contributions helped shape the sport as we know it today.

A good candiate would be Les 3 Vallées having almost 100 chair lifts.

Skiing is great fun. I just love it. Why? For so many reasons:

1. The speed is exhilarating

2. Its exercise without feeling it

3. The views are amazing

The "eyes" (called "line guides") are generally made of stainless steel. It is what they are lined with that get's the fisherman's attention. Years ago, the best line guides were lined with agate, which was very hard. This was improved by harder and harder alloys of metal, and by hard-fired ceramics, both of which are the mainstream today. The reason for the hardness is modern nylon monofilament line, which over time has the ability to easily wear a groove in a soft material. It would be stretching a point to call any one material "best" nowadays. All work equally well, and are about equally resistant to wear. Plain "wire loop" line guides, however, with no inserted liner, are a hallmark of a cheap rod.

skiing downhill is much faster. An pro skiier will achieve speeds of up to 80mph on a typical downhill course. The current downhill ski record stands at just over 151mph

the front of the boot is connected and the back of the ski is free so that you can skate to increase speed, cutting a "V" into the surface of the snow and you glide across. www.Youtube.com would also be a good reference.

The Alta Ski Area is located in Alta, Utah. It is one of the local ski and snow resorts and a popular tourist attraction. User reviews have been very favorable and highly recommend using the facilities.

About 4 people die skiing/snowboarding per year on average. During the 2009/10 season, 38 fatalities occurred out of the 59.8 million skier/snowboarder days reported for the season. Twenty-five of the fatalities were skiers (18 male, 7 female) and 13 of the fatalities were snowboarders, (12 male, 1 female). Among the fatalities, 19 of those involved were reported as wearing a helmet at the time of the incident.

The height of the chair lift depends on the location in which you are skiing. Some resorts have lifts as low as half a meter or as high as one meter.

In the United States, 39.8 people on average are killed skiing or snowboarding each year [National Ski Areas Association], and 43.6 serious injuries occur every year. As there are approximately 15M American skiers, this means there are .88 fatalities per million days of skiing and snowboarding.

Many people still think that Whistler Blackcomb has the highest vertical rise in North America but that has now been trumped by a ski resort in Canada known as Revelstoke which boasts a vertical of 6000ft. In the US many people think that Jackson Hole has the highest vertical (around 4100ft), This was beat by Snowmass in Colorado up until 2008. Snowmass had the highest in the US at (4406ft) however, now that Telluride has opened up Palmyra Peak they have the highest vertical of any ski resort in the country. Their new total vertical rise is 4425ft. Of course, this is just a measurement from the top of Palmyra Peak to the lowest base area in the town of Telluride. Unfortunately, there is no way of skiing all of this vertical (4425ft) in bounds and without riding at least one ski lift on your persuit of getting to the lowest base area (town of Telluride). However, one can ski just over 4000ft of vertical from the top of Palmyra Peak to the base of chair #1. Telluride also offers the highest in bounds ski terrain in the world. Palmyra Peak at over 13200 feet is now the highest inbounds ski terrain in the world, higher than Zermatt, South America, French Alps and any ski resort in the world!

-Telluride Ski Resort has the highest @ 4425 vertical feet

Correction: Plamyra Peak is the highest in-bound ski terrain in the US, not the world. The highest in the world is Chacaltaya (Bolivia) at about 5300m (or 17388ft.).

ski racing was invented in 1563

The first thing you need to know about cross country skiing is basic knowledge of the sports. Cross country skiing involves climbing and go downhill. Skilled Cross country skiers do this effectively and safely. Very importantly, choose the right ski for you. You can maneuver well in snow if you have a comfortable ski with you. Moreover, choose boots that fit snugly, holding your heel in place. You'll also need ski poles that can sit under your arm while you're standing.

Also, where a warm undergarment and a ski jacket that fits you well. Avoid cotton undergarment as possible. Don't forget your water resistant gloves. Enjoy skiing!

Alta is one of the oldest. It is just east of Salt Lake City.

It is centuries old, exact origins unknown. Widely attributed to ancient Norsemen who began gliding on long flat boards to cross vast snow covered distances more quickly. They called this mode of travel "shee" or "skee." Norseman who had to deal with downhill sections carried a stick -- the first ski pole -- which they dragged between their legs as a primitive brake.

Lift served downhill skiing evolved in Europe prior to World War I, and became popular in the USA in the 1930s. Cross country and downhill skiing did not become thought of as separate sports in this country until Hannes Schneider brought the Arlberg method to North Conway NH in the late 1930s.

The Northstar Ski Resort is located on the edge of Lake Tahoe in Placer County n California. It is only about 200 miles from the San Francisco Bay area and on tripadvisor it is a highly rated resort.

Although I can't say for Anchorage in particular, the Alaskan ski season generally starts early in December. It runs all the way into the Spring (around mid-April). The link below has daily ski conditions for a particular ski resort in the Anchorage area, Alyeska.
