Should I teach my children snowboarding or skiing first?

Fritz G asked:


I know how to ski, but I don’t know how to snowboard. Should children learn skiing first, or is it better to learn snowboarding first?

What is the best sock or related heat accessory for skiing in very cold temperatures?

skiing
MJQ asked:


I wear medium-weight ski socks, but when the temperatures drop to below about -20 C / -4 F, the cold affects the feet (especially the toes). I know there are air-activated heat pads for the toe area, and I’ve seen battery-operated electrically heated socks (but these are usually designed for hunting or wading). What’s the best solution for keeping feet warm whilst skiing in very cold temperatures? Thank you.

What Can I Do To Prepare for Freestyle Skiing while it’s Summer?

skiing
Me asked:


Hello!

I live in California currently and the ski season has been over for a few months. This past year I’ve gained a large interest in freestyle skiing and did quite a few rails, jumps, boxes, etc. the past season. Some of my more experienced friends and myself are planning on shooting a video this coming winter…

My question is:

What Can I Do To Prepare for Freestyle Skiing while it’s Summer?

From building rails in my backyard to buying ice and making a ramp, I’m game for all answers. Anything is appreciated, thanks!

How old do you have to be to go skiing without your parents?

Matt M asked:


I am 16 and I have been talking with my friends about going skiing either the end of this season or 08/09 season. My Dad seems to think that you need to be 18 to buy the insurance, does anyone know if this is true?
