Oh yesh, the topic title says it all, SKI! so lets start...

Ski is one of my favourite sports, as some know, I love winter/cold/snow everything related to it, and well, ski goes in that group :] I try to go every winter skking.. but since I live in the middle of a country that doesn't even have snow... it's quite expensive to go to the US/Canada/Europe/Argentina etc... The cheapest one is to go to the US, is where I go. Vail, Colorado is my ski resort :]! Although I would love to go to Wistler and to some other ski resorts.

Its just the feeling of gliding on the snow, the speed.. the adrenaline.. that makes me love this sport :]. I'm going again this winter, to Vail :P with my family =P. So, any other ski lovers??? *cough cough I know of someone who will surely reply to this riiight? :P

Winter its on its way!!!

I like snow, but I hate skiing. I do like tubing - all the fun of skiing without falling on your face. I might try snowboarding if I ever go to North Carolina again. It certainly doesn't snow where I live.

Yep, I love skiing as well. (But you knew that already. :))

My favorite resorts are Keystone and Beaver Creek, which are both in Colorado. I try to get to Colorado each year, and this season I'm going in early February.

To get my skiing "fix" in between Colorado trips, I go up to Lake Tahoe here in California. It's within driving distance, so I can get up early and drive up in the morning, ski all day and then drive home in the evening. The skiing isn't as good as Colorado, but it's close by which is a big plus.

The Northstar ski resort is one of my favorites here. Great terrain and it's much less crowded than some of the others. Heavenly is a really nice mountain, but it's always so terribly crowded and I hate standing in lift lines.

In case anyone here is from back east, I originally learned to ski when I was going to college in upstate New York. I would drive up to Mt. Snow which is in Vermont for a day of skiing. Though once I discovered skiing in Colorado, I immediately stopped skiing in the northeast. :) Colorado is so nice for skiing.

I also want to give Utah a try sometime. Park City looks like a really good mountain for skiing, and the Utah snow is supposed to be very nice and dry.

*screams*

finally a skiing thread! :D :D

I LOVE skiing, I try and do it as much as possible. (although, all the "hills" *litterally* here are worth nothing, the resorts in the west coast are great)

my favorite out of all would have to be Lake Louise, just outside Jasper, Alberta.

i can do some stunts on ski's, switching between forward and backward, small grinds, and small jumps. I've tried some bigger stuff, like drop-ins into a bowl or something, but have failed horribly and have usually ended up with snow down the jacket. >.<

I'm a n00b in skiing.. I can only skii ok on the diamond ones.. not flips or anything.. jumps ok but =( and since I've only gone only 3 times skiing... ;-; Bumps a little; what I really hate are the Catwalks.. you know those small trails, like all icy that take you to one mountain to another one.. where you have to go go trying to evade the other skiiers...

I so knew that you would reply :P

I love skiing. Going, most likely to Italy again, this coming February. Although technically I'm not a skiier, I'm one of those annoying bastards on snowblades. I'm not into tricks though, I just like the simplicity of using the blades; being able to turn easier and the lack of weight on my feet. Most importantly being able to sit down and relax for a while without having to get out of my skis, I love sitting just off of the pistes with the backs of my blades in the snow watching the people go by.

I'm not an amasing skier, I can handle most black runs with ease, but my technique is sloppy. I've been skiing on snow for 5 years (6 in Feb) and I did a year on dry slopes before hand (my Dad alreayd knew how to ski, so for my first snow holiday he wanted us to be in the same Ski School, thus I took dry slope lessons). But besides the first year of skiing on snow and my year on dry ski slopes I haven't been in a ski school, so my sloppy technique is my own fault really.
