what is the difference beteeen downhill and outside ski?
105675
Two terms for the same thing. The downhill ski becomes the inside ski as soon as you start the next turn making your other ski the outside ski which as the turn completes becomes your downhill ski.\n\nUse to hear downhill ski all the time but now we speak in terms of inside/outside more.\n\nPSIA Master Teacher

Greater the height of an object, greater is its potential energy (PE).  As a cycle speeds up while going downhill, its loses height; its PE decreases but it is converted into Kinetic Energy (KE).\n\nPE = mass  X acceleration due to gravity X height.\nor, PE =mgh\n\nTherefore, considering the base at the bottom of the hill, the height of the rock at the bottom is zero, and then, PE = m X g X 0=0\n\nWhereas, PE of the rock sitting at the top of a hill would be positive (calculate it using the formula PE=mgh) and thus, greater than the one at the bottom.

I am an avid skier and outdoor enthusiastic (as you can see from my avatar). I recently found a site called www.evogear.com that sells ski, snowboard, and wakeboard gear. They have the best customer service, very low prices, and the coolest gear on the planet. I think they are based in Seattle, WA. I have never had a bad experience with them and I've placed four orders!

Ok, seriously, turn so that you are facing downhill horizontal to the slope of the hill, and lean back onto the blade on the back side of your board (your heel side).  And bend your knees.  Don't give up, and avoid rails and pipes until you've mastered all types of hills!

i know some of them use atomics, which are some of the best skiis you can get. the type depends on what kind of race it is, moguls take shorter skis for faster turning, races like the downhill and super g take longer skis for more speed

no,\n skiing is awesome. you always can do something new if its doing a new rail or jumping off cliffs skiing's better.

The Torino 2006 has the rules in brief. For complete rules, go to the Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS) site: \n\nhttp://www.fis-ski.com/data/document/wcrules06.pdf\n\nThey are the international governing body for skiing.

It depends what activity specifically you are doing at the time.  For example, bump skiing woild burn more than snowboard carving; however smowboard halfpipe would burn more than powder skiing.

Speaking from someone that currently owns 5 pair of skis...  Ski selection is a personal choice.  It really depends on two things.  \n\nFirst, is your skiing ability.  An example of this would be for a beginner skier, a softer, or more flexible ski might aid you in learning to ski better.  Traditionally a stiffer ski for more expert or advanced skiing.  Of course, just like everything their are caveats to this rule of thumb for specialized skis.\n\nSecondly, you need to think about where, or better what type of skier you are.  If you love powder skiing and live in the west you might want a wide ski with a decent flex.  If you are a groomer rider, a ski that has a decent sidecut.  Sidecut of the ski is the difference between the front / back parabolic measurement versus the measurement under the foot.\n\nYour best answer, because the answer can't be written down in chart form, is go to a ski shop where ever you plan to ski most and answer these questions to a ski technician.  They will charge you a little more for the ski, but will know how to fit you.  You can always rent for the day before putting your dollars on the counter.  Good Luck!

depends on where the hills are

i personally hate rosis but the scratches are the one ski i respect. take them to the park and have fun with em. if you dont like em, demo some others. it all depends on what skiing you like

The temperature reduced in proportion with the height of the hill. More the height less is the temperature. The clouds around the hills make it less hot.The flow of cold water, waterfalls, cool breeze add to the chillness.  The shade of the trees reduces the heat. The chillness cools the clouds to pour local rain.  \nThe passing clouds are intercepted by clouds and made to shower more rain.\n  The slope of the hills absorb lesser heat received over a larger area  of the slop through the vertical rays during the high noon time.  The slanting rays with less heat does not reach most of the landscap because of the hilly shape.

depending on your skiing level i`d say andorra if you are just starting out and say meribel if you are a confident skier.\nThey are both good resorts and offer some very open skiing...meribel has the most testing runs and its linked to the 3valleys,the 3 valleys has so many runs to choose from altho andorra has quite a few aswell.\n\ngood luck

Once you can wedge turn you want to increase the pressure to your outside (of the turn) ski while releasing pressure of the inside ski then rapidly turn across the hill and pressure both uphill edges

Stem Christie\nIs a Turn that is completed by skidding on both uphill edges. As the Turn is made, the downhill Ski is positioned parallel to the other Ski. Doing so will make both of your Skis parallel and point in the same direction after making the Turn. \n\nThe Stem Christie Turn got its name from Christiana, the former name of Oslo in Norway.\n\nIt is for more experienced skiiers rather than newbies.

The best thing to do is work the beginning snowboard muscles. You pick your self up a lot so work your triceps, chest, back, butt (cause you'll fall on it) and thigh muscles as much as you can. Skiing and snowboarding aren't the same thing at all and it's important that you know that. Snowboarding is harder to learn but easier to maintain the skill of than skiing. So keep at it, take lessons from a person you like, friends are best, especially patient ones that have been snowboarding a long time. You'll fall alot and you will be in serious pain the next day. Don't try to go up on big hills until you're completely comfortable with the bunny hill. And lastly, just go out and have fun. Snowboarding is all about fun.
