How do you go from slalom water skiing to dropping a ski to be barefooting?

skiing
Jeffrey Stone asked:


I have been wanting to try barefooting for awhile now, I am 150 pounds and I go behind a boat at roughly 35 miles per hour, is this correct to get off the ski? And how do I do it without catching an edge and hurting myself?

How much snow is good for skiing/snowboarding? Mammoth will be getting 2 feet. Will this last me for 4 weeks?

skiing
The Questionator asked:


I am a beginner snowboarder. All my friends are like, “ohh no man you can’t go to Mammoth Mountain now there’s no snow.” But isn’t there plenty of snow if it’s getting 2 feet?

Also, I am going snowboarding late december early january. If it does not snow until then will I have enough snow to last me?

Skiing and lodging in or around the Denver area?

skiing
Coach McGuirk asked:


I’m planning a trip to Denver to ski (and snowboard) for Spring Break.

What are the best “parts” of the city to stay in, and what are some good ski mountains (the more challenging, the better)?

Any other nightlife suggestions are also welcome.

Thanks in advance!

How to start trick skiing?

skiing
Jeff Q asked:


I have been skiing for awhile and would like to start doing some tricks while skiing, as I am getting my first pair of twin tips soon. My friend usually makes a jump down at his house, but i am not planning on using my new skis. Are there any good tricks to start doing to get my confidence up and start getting into trick skiing. I can ski backwards ok but I could get better.

Getting a down jacket wet while skiing?

skiing
maestrokid007 asked:


Obviously, you shouldn’t get a down jacket wet, due to the fact that it will lose a large percent, if not all of it’s heat retainment.

However, what about using a down jacket when skiing or snowboarding? Falling, and getting wet snow all over you is a big part of both sports. How would a down jacket hold up to wet snow?
