Skiing

Soccer is generally a very active sport. Depending on your position, you may get lots of cardio exercise. For example, forwards and midfielders usually get a lot of cardio exercise since they're constantly running after the ball.

Many thousands!

Here you will find a list of over more than 1000 ski resorts in Europe:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ski_areas_and_resorts_in_Europe

However, this is only a small fraction of all the ski resorts. For example, of Sweden's 250 resorts are only 35 in the list.

Slalom, Giant slalom and Super giant slalom.

All ages are as of the first of the year

JV- 8 to 10 year olds

JIV- 11 & 12 year olds

JIII- 13 & 14 year olds

JII, JI, Seniors- 15 to 24 year olds (all compete together)

About the same as they do right now, except in 1860 skis and poles were wood and the bindings were leather straps. The biggest change is in the bindings, which are made to release when a certain amount of force is exerted against them to keep you safe.

Depending on the type of lift you could get mauled by the machinery or you could go back down the lift in the cabin...

It really depeends where you go. Most ski places are very expensive. In Aspen, for example, a lift ticket could cost up to $150 dollars per person per day. Then you have the cost of staying in a condo, up to $300 dollars a night in some places, and there is the price of food, which is usually very expensive on the slopes. Any eqipment you could also very well cost in excess of $600 dollars minus ski rentals which can run at about $100 dollars per day. It really depeends where you go.

It depends on where you live there are a lot of good places in California, Utah, Colorado. And there also a few good ones in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

a really good place is The Village at Mammoth

Next answerer: The best place to go skiing is in the Alps. All northamerican resort are tiny to what the Alps can offer. For example is Paradiski more than ten times (in area) as big as Whistler-Blackcomb (the largest northamerican resort). Some other top resorts: Les 3 Vallées, 4 Vallées, Dolomiti Superski, Portes du Soleil and Alpe d´Huez.

The blue lines on the hill are to give an athlete depth perception.

answer 2:

I think you're asking about the dye sprayed on the snow? This is applied after the course is iced down and before the race begins and is a visual aid in case the light goes flat. It approximates the line the racers will take and gives them terrain definition. It is more common to Downhill and Super GS, though, than it is to slalom. At those speeds on an overcast day, you might think you're still a few feet in the air when suddenly OOF!, you're hitting the snow before you were ready to absorb. Conversely, you might not be able to tell when there is a rise or dip in terrain and you get thrown or compressed. On flat days, to humans, the horizon becomes the same color as the snow, Blue is the color that works best both peripherally and near distance.

Firstly create a business plan. You cannot hope to even get started without one.

Decide (as your question does not indicate is) if its a retail business or a manufacture business. They are completely different and will need to be approached a diffiernt ways in full.

Assuming its for an outlet:

Plan to seek out an area for the outlet - if its a shop/store envirnment your loking to start

Using the plan identify competition in the area - if your doing this from a outlet rather than on line then this is critical as thre may be business a plenty in your target area making it really difficult to even get on the first rung of the ladder.

Identify you target customer base. How will they get to you, how will you get to them. Are you in a"good footfall area".

How will you fund the initial first months of creating the business as well as the openeing. Most people forget to plan in finacial coverage for the purchase of premises, licences, untilities. EPOS (tills) stands, for the outlet, fittings and fixtures plus legal fees such as insurances for the premisies, stock and fittings, and in addition such things as company facias with business names on etc and then of course how will you advertise this venture. (this goes back to the basics of whose going to be my custoemer)

You will need to seek out reliable suppliers for a vast range of areas across the the sports areas you wish to cover. then idenfiy the key suppliers, negociate the purchases and set upi credit limits for your ordering.

Staffing will need to be considered. no one can run a business like this and be there every open hours and still survive.

these are just a few of the basic considerations

You weave in and out of a series of 5 feet tall gates inside the ground along a defined course. If you skip a gate you DNF "did not finish". The faster you complete the course the better. It is important to hit the gates every time you go for the gate...the correct gear will prevent you from getting hurt. If you find yourself not hitting the gate make your turns closer to the gate then once they are close enough to hit them, put you pole guard (hand) in-front of yourself to push the gate away. This is a good strategy but not needed.

You also have Giant Slalom, Super G (Super Giant Slalom) and Downhill. These are faster variations of the traditional slalom. The course is longer and the flags are positioned further apart. This makes the course faster as you need to make less of a sharp curve to reach the next flag. Downhill being the fastest.

In case you are talking about waterskiing, slalom is the same as in snow but with boueys floating on the water.

they go in between gates and they if they miss one there is a penalty

Yes, skis WILL help you get downhill faster if there is snow. You need to know how steep the hill is to know how fast you will go. If you add some ski wax to the bottom of your skis, you will go extra fast.

keep hand brake

* This question is designed to determine if the answerer knows that Colorado has mountains and snow.

--------

Colorado is more likely to have ski conditions, although many parts of Texas have mountains with snow at least part of the year. Other considerations (distance, crowds, expense) could also play a part in any travel decision.

If you are talking about brands, Head, Salomon, K2, Rossignol, Nordica. If you mean styles of skis, park and pipe, all mountain, powder, race and performance. The difference between race skis and performance skis is that race skis are made for racing on a race track for a professional, performance skis are made to use on regular runs at fairly high speeds for the advanced to expert recreational skier.

The longest black piste in Europe as well as in the whole world is the Sarenne piste in Alpe d'Huez.

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 it says 16 km so the actual length is a bit unclear.

It can be noted that last part of the piste (which is several kilometers) after coming down to the bottom of the Sarenne gorge is more transport than black.
