you just need to apply for the position to the ski resort. It is usually a volunteer position though but you get some cool benefits like a free pass or something.

Very rough guide,\n\nThey should come up to eye level. Unless you have an unusually large forehead in which case i don't know.\n\nBut as mentioned a ski shop should guide you right.\n\nI'd shop around, you can get some great deals!

definately take lesson.  don't try to be a good skier/boarder if you aren't, you will get hurt.  work your way up, when you feel comfortable you can start and stop and turn to avoid people on the green circles, move up to a blue square.  don't try the peak on your first run!

If you are a skier go to dear valley. Amazing! place for skier.\nIf you are snowboarder go to park city. You have there lots of very good tracks.\nI loved: double jack, pioneer and scout's bowl.\nThose are amazing with fresh snow.

I am going to italy on a skiing holiday and what i found useful was going on websites like Thomas cook or First choice. They have a range of places to go to whatever level skier you are. They have everything included and you can choose how long you go away for and all for a fair price. Hope you have a great time!

The best place would be "near where you are".\nThe reason being: you'd want to take several sessions over a period of time (a season, or once a week for 6 or 8 or 10 weeks), therefore having "easy access" to a hill would be my first criteria.\n\nSecond consideration: what level are you at now, and therefore, which determines what level of instruction you need.\n\nE.g. most hills/resorts offer begginer skier training, and do a reasonable job at it.  When it comes to expert level skiing, one would be more scrupulous in selecting coaches.\n\nMost ski resorts also offer packages (rent+learn) that are reasonably priced, that also gives one a chance to try out different equipment.\n\nBottom line:\nfor complete beginner, start at the nearest place, possibly with the "best package deal" available, and get comfortable with the basics of skiing. Then you're ready to explore the pleasures of skiing further afield.  That's when you'd really want to start driving/flying to other really neat skiing places!

Due to the fact that skiing is a little easier to pickup I would say start there, to not only pick up skiing but the rule on the mountains, that way if you still want to learn snowboarding you just have to worry about not landing on your backside.

Tell him about some cool moves you did, or some terrible crash you made (since you seem to be mutually interested in skiing).  Then he'll most likely start talking about some cool move he did.  Then ask him all kinds of questions about it whenever he stops talking, and maybe lead into finding out what other kinds of things he's interested in.

I don't know any ski schools (if you mean xcountry) at Espoo, but at Helsinki there is beginner schools held at Paloheinä. You can find more info at link below.

You should contact the United States Ski Team and/or the United States Skiing Association and maybe they can assist you.

That is up to the coach.\nGo and ask him.\nYou are eligible.\nBut he may not have the time and resources to place you.\nBe very polite and tell him you really want to try it.

I coach a college ski team. Skiing not only requires good LEG strength, but one of the key things most people miss is the CORE of the body. Midsection strength can be the difference between skiing and skiing well. For the legs I can recommend a few simple things to get you going. a.) Old school - "The Chair". Place your back up against the wall and scoot down until there is a 90 degree angle between your thighs and lower legs. Hold that position for as long as you can. b.) Lunges! Great way to build up strength. c.) Jump up and down in place - making sure to "pop" on the way up, but the way down should be a gentle absorbtion of all yout kinetic energy. \n\nNow on to the midsection. a.) Crunches are still one of the best exercises to increase midsection strength. b.) sideups - also great. c.) put on your ski boots and and left your knees up to your chest. Switch legs side-to-side. Side leg lefts with ski boots on also works well. \n\n\nRemember, what you are doing when skiing is carrying your center of gravity to a destination. Your center of gravity is located in your midsection, hence the need to strengthen that area. Everything extends from the midsection. \n\nBest of luck!
