Skiing

When going to Breckenridge Ski Resort in the winter, a person should pack plenty of warm clothing and all of their ski/snowboard gear. If a person visits the resort in the summer time it would be best to bring a light jacket and tons of hiking/climbing gear.

• New to the sport of skiing;
• Ability to ski in a gliding/braking wedge stance on easiest terrain,
• Skis confidently with linked wedge turns and wedge-christie on intermediate trails. Can ride the chairlift alone.
• Ability to match skis parallel and skid to finish turns, edging and pressure control movements.
• Controlled turns on steeper terrain, knowledge of pole swing and placement.
• Parallel turns with good pole use and an open stance. Ability to ski varied terrain and snow conditions.
• Beginning carving, pre-freestyle, comfortable in bumps.

The sun emits ultra-violet (and infra-red rays) which are harmful for human health, especially the eyes. Shiny white surfaces reflect EM waves the best, and snow is a great example of this; so basically, skiiers wear sunglasses to protect themselves from UV radiation that is reflected at them from all angles.

And it looks cool.

There is not a specific phobia name for a ski phobia. There is a snow phobia that is called chionophobia and if someone were afraid of snow, they would not enjoy skiing.

The boxes in any ski resorts terrain park can be made quite easily by the owner(s) of a ski resort, or a terrain company can make it first, which can then be bought by the ski resort

It does not need to be hot, for one to get sunburn.

Sunburn is the result of over-exposure to the Sun's ultraviolet radiation.

Skiers faces and hands are exposed to the Sun when skiing, particularly at high altitudes.

The snow also reflects radiation, which other surfaces, such as grass and rock, would absorb.

That is probably the cross-country race Vasaloppet that has around 50.000 competitors spread over one week. The main race is limited to 16.000 competitors.

Vasaloppet goes from Sälen to Mora in Sweden and is 90 km long.

Hidden Valley in Wisconsin....its depressing....they only have 3 runs...but they advertise 7...

One would need telemark skis if they are skiing a course that has many turns or if they are interested in performing a lot of carving while skiing. Slalom skiing is another reason one would prefer telemark skis as they allow the user to make more precise turns.

Skiing

no, its not absolutely necessary some people don't wear them normally because its their first few times and they don't realize what they are doing. But if you don't want your eyes to water out all the time and if you don't want your face to freeze off then yes you DO need goggles...and i wouldn't recomend skiing without them at all...(14 yrs of skiing)

No.

The ski resort has a shuttle that will pick you up, or you can take the train to Waterbury (only ten miles away) where resort shuttles will bus you to the mountain .

Skiing is a winter sport where you wear boots that attach to skis. There are ski hills and you stand up and slide with the skis attached to your feet down the hill. In order to get to the top of the hill there is somthing called a chairlift, which is kinda fun!

Keystone Resort offers a wide range of activities one could do besides skiing. One could go hiking, bicycling, golfing, bungee jumping or take a boat trip.

Because it can not track the snow aswell

Because of drag and resistance on the snow. it depends on how large the scratch is? if it is relatively deep then it could affect the skiing. If it is not that deep it will go only marginally slower to not slower at all.

The first hints to the existence of skis are on 4500-5000 years old rock drawings , e.g. at Rødoy in Norway (discovered 1933) or at Steinkjer (discovered 2001), which depict a man on skis holding a stick. The oldest known ski, Kalvträsksidan was found in 1924 in a mire near the village of Kalvträsk in the municipality of Skellefteå, Sweden, and has been carbon dated to roughly 3200 B.C.

Yes he smoked weed and cigarettes but he quit the cigarettes but i'm not sure about the weed.

Not compared to the Space Shuttle but some ski lifts are more complex than others. Rope tows are simple, detachable grip chair and gondola lifts are more complex.

All lifts have some basic systems. 1. Some kind of primary drive like a electric motor or a diesel motor. 2. a gear box that takes the high rpm output of the primary drive and reduces it to a lower, usable rpm. 3. A large wheel (bull wheel) connected to the output of the gearbox. 4. The bull wheel moves the haul rope and all the carriers and if its an aerial lift the rope and carriers move over the trains of wheels (sheaves) located on the tower cross-arms. 5. A system of brakes stops the lift and either a large counterweight or a hydraulic ram provides tension for the haul rope.

Surface lifts like rope tows and handle tows won't have carriers and towers. A conveyor lift will have drums and a belt instead of bull wheels and a rope.

A detachable grip lift will have all the above plus a system detach the grips from the haul rope, transport the carrier around the terminal and then reattach the trip to the haul rope. To open the grip while the lift is moving a system of rails for stabilizing, operating and transporting the grip must be carefully aligned to avoid damage to the rope or grip jaws. Moving the detached grip through the terminal requires a system of dozens of belts, pulleys and tires.

All lifts today require an electrical system to monitor and control the safe operation of all the mechanical systems. Speed monitoring, braking controls and tower monitoring are all standard. A detachable lift will have a system of switches to monitor the opening and closing of the grip. The transport of the detached carrier will be monitored by an aniti-collison system using proximity switches.
