Skiing

No you don't. However - when you make the turn make sure that your weight is balanced on the front of the skis, so that the back end of the skis do not dig into the ground. This is only effective if you are on hard packed snow, and might not work if it is soft and powdery snow.

study the best cross country skier and look at what he/her does

There are 2 main methods of stopping on skis. The first method is to snowplow to a stop, you simply put your skis in a wedge to slow you down until you stop. The second method is to do a hockey stop, this one is a little more technical. If you skate it is the same way you hockey stop on skates. If you don't have any clue what I'm talking about, a hockey stop is where you turn to one side very quickly and dig your edges in to stop. If you don't know how to ski, get some lessons and your instructor will teach you the first method first. Then they will teach you the second method, however, you usually don't learn the hockey stop until your second or even third season because it is a lot harder than it sounds and as I said earlier, it is quite technical.

That's an opinion. There is no one best boot for advanced skiers, not even ten best.

There are hundreds of excellent boots for advanced skiers but which one you choose really depends on you. How wide are you feet? That greatly affects choice. Do you prefer park and pipe, slalom or just skiing on a run? That greatly affects choice. What is the shape of your foot, how high are your arches, do you have any foot problems such as hammertoes or bunions? These will all affect your choice. Are you actually advanced? Many people over or underestimate their skiing level, you could be intermediate or you could be expert, that will probably change your choice of boot. What I find comfortable might be the most comfortable boot in the world for you or it might be the worst boot you've ever worn. To find the best boot for you, you should go to your local ski shop and have them fit you. Try on some of their suggestions, but make sure you bring your ski socks with you.

when any object will drop in water.than we see object weight will decrease and it will slowly move to downward because here one force is boyence force .and other is weight of object according due to gravity which is apply on body in downward direction.

It is said that in Norway, a 4500 to 5000 year old rock drawings of a man skiing while holding a stick was found. The earliest people who ski are from the distant ancestor of Sami people in Sweden or Norway.

It is quite simple:

Janica Kostelic of Croatia, 6 Olympic medals (4 gold), 5 World Championship Golds, 3 overall World Cups, winning all 5 disciplines in one season...

And most amazing: she retired at the age of 24...

Downhill or Alpine skiing, is a sport in which you ride a chair lift up a mountain and put two planks on your feet. You then slide down on your "skis". There are different kinds of alpine skiing including: freestyle skiing (doing tricks) alpine racing (skiing as fast as you can around gates), and just going out to have fun!

There's no accurate way to know how many people ski/snowboard in the world since there is no way to know who does and who doesn't, for instance, just because someone owns skis doesn't mean they ski, the only way that you could find out is an extremely large scale study and even than many people would not reply to it.

yes you can rec ski (groomers) or race (ski gates)

In skiing you have to deal with the winter weather elements. This includes various snow conditions ranging from brick hard ice to soft, melting snow. The snow also has a way of transforming its shape after you have skied on it. If several skiers ski the same course down the hill then the snow consistency and placement will change. You will build up "ruts". Ruts are grooves that outline where all the skiers have skied. These ruts can become very big. Often times these ruts and quick changes in elevation will produce mini jumps on the ski hill. When you catch air you will definitely slow down your speed. First of all the wind resistance will pull you back. Second of all you lose contact with the snow. You want to have contact with the snow on the flat bottom of your ski as much as possible. Anytime you put your ski edge against the snow to turn or recover you are slowing yourself down. Ski racers have learned to avoid catching air from jumps by bending their knees and holding their center of gravity down when they go over the jump. This helps to minimize your trajectory into the air.

I don't know the official name for them, but they are commonly called lifties.

A piste.

For Summit County Colorado my opinion is that:

Breckenridge has lots of everything, including the most beginner terrain. If the bright sunlight, crowds of good looking young people and mellow cruises become boring, you can go to Keystone.

Lots of people go to Keystone looking for blue and green runs... wind your way down the front side literally for miles following easy signs. It's fun and there's lots of middle aged traffic acting hot and rich. If you're or for real enough, try skiing at night, you can see better. That's actually great for beginners because there is less distraction from others and better visibility.

Colorado's Sol Vista would be a good choice too. They also have lights and some friendly turf.

Copper's "Union Creek" has been a dedicated beginner's area since way back, and if you really want to progress you will find plenty of transitional places at Copper.

There is freestyle, where you do tricks off jumps and rails.

There is slalom, where you race between two sets of poles.

Alpine skiing, or downhill skiing, where you just go skiing for the fun of it.

Cross country skiing, in which you push yourself forward on mostly flat terrain using your poles and skiis.

Well, there's some!

Vallée Blanche in Chamonix, 22 km long.

The Sarenne run in Alpe d´huez is claimed to be the longest piste in the world, 16 km.

The longest ski run in the world is at Chamonix Mont-Blanc, France. Chamonix boast a 22 KM or 13.7 miles run called Vallee Blanche with a vertical drop of 2807 meters or 9209 feet all of which is served by a lift. NB: For the truly daring or adventurous, (and those willing to carry their skis to the top,) the run from the peak of Mont-Blanc to the base is approximately 18.5 miles. This might require a special permit from Italy or France.

Next answerer:There actually seems to be several candidates to this title:

1) Vallée Blanche in Chamonix from Aiguille du Midi down to Chamonix. There are several different numbers given for this run between 20 and 22 km. The Chamonix home page claims 20 km. Note that this is not a piste, it's a commonly used off-piste route where a mountain guide should be used.

2) From Kleine Matterhorn to Zermatt. Ski-zermatt claims 13 km and zermatt home page claims 22 km.

3) The Sarenne run in Alpe d'Huez is often claimed as the longest piste. It's on the piste map (from the Alpe d'Huez home page) stated as 19 km but on the Alpe d'Huez home page itself it says 16 km. It is probably the longest black piste, even though the last part of it is more transport than black.

The Whitetail Ski Resort is located in Pennsylvania in the Two Top area of the Tuscarora Mountains. The Whitetail ski resort is 1.5 miles from the Whitetail Golf Resort.

A lot of companies say they pre-wax them...but it's not gonna hurt to get a full and proper wax done when you get it. Any good board shop will throw in a free wax or two when you buy from them.

From:

http://www.levelninesports.com/Boot-Sizing-Chart-And-Info

a good general rule is to get skis that are about the same height as you are. The shorter they are, the more control you will have; the longer, the faster they are. If you are a beginner, go with some skis that are shorter than you. Note: this is assuming you are skiing shaped or parabolic skis (any new skis will be this type)

Skiing was invented because some people were having trouble going trough the snow, so they used animal bones that they hunted down.

I don't know where you can find parts but whole boots you can find at ski stores like skis and bikes, sporting life, duke of Windsor, squire johns and many more
