No it's terrible, go somewhere else and leave it for the skiers.

i would recommend checking in with a rental shop when you get to the mountain, with the new parabolic ski technology and even a "smart ski" (see link below)try out some demo's before and if you decide to buy, if you a "couple times a season" skier i wouldnt buy at all, and always rent. that way you get to ski on new tech every time.\n\n the binding is the most important aspect of skiing levels...don't lie about your height weight or ability level here!\n\nthe only question you need to ask your self is, "how fast do i want to go!"

Apparantley, Glencoe is a haven fro snowboarders and it's considered the most Alpine of the resorts in Scotland. Here is the website http://www.glencoemountain.com/store/home.php. Most resorts should be open by Dec. 24th, I don't understand why they wouldn't because they would just be losing money. Another good resort is the Lecht which is in Northern Scotland. Here is a website that will allow you to access all five of the resort websites. http://ski.visitscotland.com/centres/. Then you can read about all of them and find your ideal resort. Sorry it took so long for someone to answer you!

I LOVE Sugarloaf/USA. It is where I ski all winter. It has a bunch of different terrain, for all levels. It is the second biggest mountain in Maine, so it has a lot of terrain to choose from. It has great ski programs, where you can schedule a private lesson, or groups lesson. It has a lot to do off the slopes too. The atmosphere is so friendly everywhere, and I think that everyone is treated like a local. There are so many great restaurants to choose from, depending on what you want.

I have stayed last Xmas two weeks there. I liked it a lot, wish to go again there. A lot of people speak English and German so you should have no problem, I didn't. Is is relatively cheap. For places to have fun there are a lot but you have to find them for yourself (this ca get very exciting actually)

Dear KlaireG,\n\nAndorra is one magical place, Arinsal, Andorra La Vella, just go there, I have really happy memories of my trips there,  those mind boggling really steep ski slopes are the business ! The road out of Arinsal to Pepinguion in France is amazing, ski slopes all the way!  go for it. Enjoy yourself

It is in the "toe" of the boot! It is a lovely section of Italy. Very different from Rome or Venice or Florence. You move from mountains to beaches. The scenery is lovely and the art and architecture even lovlier. The people are amazingly helpful and kind. So much history in this area. You will love it!

I started as a skier but then tried snowboarding. And now have fell inlove with the sport. I feel that skiing is easier to learn on some basis. Snowboarding is harder and takes pactice as does any sport. But i feel that you get more that a thrill from snowboarding then you do when skiing. But all in all its the person you ask and what they prefer.

You can have the adventure of your life teaching in Italy, but it is not the place to go to make money. If you want to make money in international teaching or if you want specific information about jobs in Italy, check out the following link:\n\nhttp://www.search-associates.com/

It would be easier to help you if I knew where in Michigan you are but I'll show you some places but here are all the resorts: http://travel.yahoo.com/p-ski-525421-michigan_ski_resorts-i\nThe have links to the individual sites as well. I want to make you aware that it's kind of foolish to get a snowboard if you aren't going to learn how to ride it, Maybe, instead of getting a board, rent a board for the season and ask for a season pass instead. A lot of resorts have buses up there, and I'm sure your dad would let you ride the bus. If your heart is set on getting that board, ask for your mom's help with transportation if you pay for the pass or something like that. I learned on a rented board and I'm incredibly glad that I did because I tore it up pretty bad just from learning and if it had been mine, I would have had to get a new one the next year anyway. Try out snowboarding before you buy a board because you might hate it, though I doubt it. Or maybe, get a used board boot and bindings and ask for a season pass somewhere too. There are resorts all over Michigan and I'm sure you'll find one and you need to work out a deal with your dad involving transportation if you want to go.
