What is a rodeo and a misty on Skis?
Misty: When you come off the kicker and roll forwards over your shoulder while doing a spin, getting inverted, but not completely upside down.
Rodeo: The opposite of the Misty, a backwards roll over your shoulder as you rotate off the kicker.
These rotations can be anything from 540 and upwards (the 'flip' rotation counts for 360 already), eg Misty 540, Rodeo 720 etc.
To learn: Start on the tramp or at the pool. Simply start corking your tricks by throwing one shoulder back more than the other as you spin. It helps to look the way you want to spin too: eg have your head follow the direction you're putting your shoulder.
Eventually increase the cork until it becomes a rodeo/ misty (kind of a blurry distinction between the two). Then, take it to the skifield. Or, just go for it on the snow.

In slalom alpine skiing how do skiers know which poles to go around?
Traditionally, each gate is marked by two poles of the same color, and the racers have to ski in between two poles. Both tips and feet have to break the imaginary plane connecting between two poles. So generally, racers just go around the inside pole of each gate. To simplify the setup of the course, the outside poles are sometimes left out. The exceptions are the combinations: under gate, hair pin,flush. Unlike most common gates that are across the fall line(horizontal), combinations are made up by two poles of the same color along the fall line( vertical). Combinations have to be set up by two poles. To sum this up, go in between two poles of the same color, ski to the outside of the single poles. Watch some races and you'll learn.

How much are socks for skiing?
The ones I wear cost $8 for two pair, and they're thick wool socks that work great as slippers when I'm not skiing. Go to a store that sells stuff for hunters or campers and you can get the same kind of socks they have at a ski store but they're about half the price.
