What ski resorts are there in north France?
Northern France is certainly not the part of the country that is best known for skiing - that would be the Alps in the southeast. But there are some alpine and cross-country skiing resorts in the northeast, for example in the Vosges region. You can see a list of the ski areas in Vosges here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ski_areas_and_resorts_in_Europe#Vosges

Is mini skiing easier than regular skiing?
probably not, big skiis give you more balance than speed
dont be so silly next time
- mini skiing is easier than skiing on full length skies. The skies are more like shoes than skis which can be combersome to turn if you do not know how to ski. Non-skiers can strap on mini skiis and go out on the slopes and have fun without taking lessons and actually go down the hill. They will not go as fast as regular skis, which have a lot more surface area. Also landing arial jumps on mini ski's is a lot harder since you don't have the long ski to lean back on or lean forward on when you land.
note: mini skis can be fun but by most skiers especially locals mini skis are considered pathetic. If you wear mini skis you will probably be considered a gaper or joey
-------Depends on your type of skiing. If your a hockey player, mini skiing will come naturally. Shorter skiis can turn easier than longer skiis no matter what kind of skier you are. But sometimes when the skiis are too short (mini skiis) then it might become difficult for some people.
Is there an extension piece for ski boots?
Hmmm? Not sure of what type of extension you speak of but I do think the answer is most likely a no. I have worked in the industry and have never seen an extension of any kind for a ski boot.
It would be nice to see some extensions made for ski boots (Ski companies please take note)
- A can opening device that can be deployed from a sitting position to the skiers lap.
- A heating torch extension for some extra warmth and an easy way to roast marshmallows and start campfires.
- Ski blade extension. At the push of a button release a set of ski blades so if ever ski patrol thinks you've done something you can pose as a silly tourist.
Hopefully this helps!
Can you go skiing close to Washington DC?
Why, yes! There are three wonderful ski resorts. Try Wisp, in Maryland. You can also try Roundtop or Liberty in Pennsylvania. The two in PA are only about 2 hours from D.C. DO NOT GO TO WHITETAIL RESORT! It is a terrible place, full of long lift lines, rude people, and terrible conditions. Happy skiing!

What length are ski boot soles?
it all depends on the boot size brand model and type being all mountain or park. for example my 28.5 boot soles will be longer then my brothers 26.5 soles but my dads 29.0 soles may be longer, the same size, or smaller than mine.
Skis specificallly meant for racing are often less flexible (ie: stiffer) than average recreational skis. In order for the ski to bend less, it requires a denser, heavier, and less flexible core.
Powder skis are a special type of ski made for deep snow. They are typically much wider than a normal ski and also oftenly have "twin-tips".

Why would you go skiing in Colorado?
You would go skiing in Colorado because of all the beautiful scenes they have. The snow is very deep from snowboarding, sledding, and skiing. I bet they also serve great hot cocoa too! Who would not like to go to Colorado just make sure you wear proper clothing. ( I am sorry if I sound like your mother)
Amazon.com or you can make some by googling the instructions
