I don't know Los Angeles that well, but if anyone knows what beaches or bays (if there are any here) allow water skiing and where to rent equipment, could you please let me know. Thanks a bunch!

Remember, rental shops usually buy the most basic and inexpensive equipment and then rent them out a lot. Those two year old skis have probably seen more than ten years worth of skiing in that time.  As the previous poster said, there are tons of good deals on Ebay. Also, check out your local ski shops, if they have any equipment left over from last year you can usually find very good prices on brand new gear.

1) Any GOOD skiing/snowboarding resort near the nyc area?\n\nHere are some ideas. I just googled nyc ski trips.\n\nhttp://nymag.com/nymetro/travel/features/n_8315//index.html\n\nAlso, check out Gore mountain, Hunter, Killington. Keep in mind the further from NYC you get, the less crowd you get. Northern Vermont is a little less congested, but more of a drive.\n\n2) Is it usually a day trip of overnight?\n\nOvernight. Most of these places are a minimum of 4 hours one way.\n\n3) How do you get there? driving your own, take a bus?\n\nI would just drive...but check out a travel company or ski club. They organize transportation and what not.\n\n4) Do you need to make any reservation at the resort?\n\nNo...well, yes, to stay at a hotel, that would be a good idea. Weekends can be booked pretty tight.\n\n5) Do you recommend getting your own gears?\n\nNo. Not unless you plan on skiing more than 10 times a year. You might not have checked that out yet, but ski gear is expensive.\n\n6) How much is admission?\n\nCheck the websites. You purchase what are called "lift tickets". One lift ticket is good for one day (there are variations such as half-day, or night also).\n\n7) What should I wear?\n\nLayers: a thermal top, long underwear, ski pants, turtleneck, sweater, jacket. Gloves or mitts are mandatory. A hat.\n\n8) Should I get a lesson?\n\nYES. You will waste a lot of money on travel and lift tickets if you don't spend on the lesson as well. One lesson gets you on the slopes. Most areas provide a "beginners special", providing rental gear, a lesson, and a lift ticket.

Have you ever been to Tijuana? DO NOT DRINK THE WATER, not even coffee! I thought it is was the nastiest place I had ever seen. I actually stayed in Rosarita instead! Sorry you may like it and I am not trying to be negative about your trip I am just trying to help. And sorry I do not know where you can rent a ultralight trike.

Skiing in Italy can be great!  I lived in Europe for ten years and worked in Outdoor Recreation for the Army, so I got around, lol. I can offer some really good advice.\n   It sounds like you already chose where you are going, so I'll skip the "where to go" thing. (Are your plans carved in stone?)\n  Here's some stuff to remember. Europe is not the US, many differences, most are very pleasureable. However, depending on where exactly you are going, you need to know some things. Ski Rentals: If you are planning to rent, be prepared to get dull edged raggedy crap. So unless you have your own equipment, do whatever it takes to tell them you want high end, TUNED skis.\nThere are a lot of variables concerning snow, and it doesn't look like Abetone is in the Alps. So, don't count on snow, sorry. With luck you will have some, but only the Alps are reliable. Abetone is for beginners and intermediates, which means it is not high. Do you ski well?\nYou might look into alternate places to drive to, if you will have a car, just in case.\n   Feel free to contact me if you'd like, I loved skiing Europe, know a lot of easy helpful hints, like to know I can help people enjoy their trips, and, well, I am of 100% Italian descent, lol. When I skied Italy, it was Amoretto shots and Cappocinos everywhere! LOL. Italians are nice, and at least you won't be in France. LOL!

A shame you can't leave your state! I'm thinking you guys would probably like "indoor water-parks"? Is there an amusement park nearby? Perhaps, renting a cabin on a lake? Do you guys like to hike? Or camp?.....Sorry I'm not familiar with Ohio, or I would give you some destinations. Try looking up your states WEBSITE, they may have some cool stuff you don't know about....good luck!

I honestly have no idea where you could live. I'm very jealous of you!!! Park City is so cool. I've skied there once, and It was the coolest thing I've done in my life. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

That is great that there is a rad surf shop in Michigan but why would you ever need to buy a surfboard if you lived all the way up there?  I would imagine that the other water sports items are better sellers.  In other words though, I have never been there.  Plenty of great shops down here in Charleston, SC though.

I skied Kitzbuehel at the end of this season - ultra-lux hotel for 100 USD/night, and lift tickets were 50 Euro for 2 days. I'm sure prices go up around the World Cup, but it was surprisingly reasonable for being a destination resort. There's a town on the other side of the mountain (check a map - I forget the name) where I'm sure even cheaper lodging could be found.

Well it all depends on where you live and what kinda wave your looking for. If you live in SoCal, there are many spots along the coast, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Newport Beach, just drive along PCH and u can find a nice spot. Unfortunaey i dont know that much about Central Cali, nor alot about NorCal (Northern California). But for SoCal(Soutern California) just drive along PCH and you should be able to find a nice spot. Or you can always visit this link http://surfline.com/travel/surfmaps/us/us.cfm. Have a great day.

I own both a jet ski and a four wheeler.  I enjoy them both immensely, but the jet ski is by far my favorite one of the two. . I am jealous of you because you live right on a lake and can walk right out your door and go riding. I have to drive 35 miles to put my ski in the water though. It's ok , I still love going to ride it anyway. If I were you I would get the jet ski first and the 4 wheeler later.

Pasadena has Eaton Canyon which is pretty secluded and quite beautiful.  There used to be a peaceful little stream with a little pond and waterfall that I used to hike back to.  I think it was called Miller Lake and Cheney Falls.  It was really neat too because you follow along the creek and all of the sudden it ends at the falls.  I think it is up near JPL and there is a campground.

This is gonna sound funny, but it's not. There is a park in the South Hills called South Park. There is a 2 mile bike path all along the main road [flat], and walking trails [hills] throughout the park. Perfect place to rollerblade. I live 5 minutes away and that's where we always go to blade. They even have a deck hockey rink for public use if your into playing hockey while rollerblading.\nHave Fun.
