now, can anyone explain to me about the slopes and everything that has  a connection to it? l?

The slope of a line can tell you how to get from one point on the line to another. If the equation is a linear equation, a straight line, then just by knowing one point and the slope you can graph the function because the slope will tell you how to get to the second point you need.\n\nFor instance, if you are told that a line goes through the point (0,2) and has a slope of 1/2 you can plot the second point and connect the dots to draw your line. Since the slope is "rise/run" you have to "rise" one and "run" two to get to another point. "Rising" 1 from 0 gets you to 1, and "running" 2 from 2 gets you to 4. So the next point is (1,4).\n\nIn a more general sense, the slope of a of a graph tells you how quickly the function is increasing or decreasing. For instance, the function f(x) = x^2 has a slope of 2x (trust me on this) where as the function g(x) = 2x^2 has a slope of 4x. What this means is that g(x) increases twice as quickly as f(x). If you look at these two lines on the same graph, it is evident that one increases much more quickly than the other.\n\nIf you progress on into higher mathematics courses, you will see how important the concept of the slope is, especially in Calculus.

Looks like it has already started snowing out there (see web site link in sources below).\nSlopes usually open late November I believe. Couldn't actually find that info on the Web.\nGood luck. Looks a nice resort.

Skiing is essentially a controlled fall down the side of a mountain. It's a highly *mental* sport that challenges you to face one of the biggest fears - fear of falling. Successfully overcoming that fear is incredibly empowering and exhilarating! Skiing has it's own culture and attracts people that want to challenge themselves - all in a beautiful environment.

Ski hill jobs arent really known for benefits.  The benefit is you get to ski a lot more than anyone else.  Good resorts- depends what you want.  Jackson Hole like other guy mentioned is known for being one of the best expert hills... Whistler is a mecca for skiing, got a lot of everything... Utah gets hammered with snow (Alta, Snowbird)... Colorado has big resorts and expensive crowds (Vail, Aspen, Breckenridge)...

their is one in (north burlington ontario) as well  .I have also read their is one in  Oshawa ,ontario, If you go to the bottom and place your car in neutral it drags your car uphil slowly .\n____________________________________________\nscientifically it is an optical illusion \nSometimes you may find or hear of a mysterious place where objects can apparently roll uphill. This is a remarkably common illusion which is found in numerous locations around the world. Usually it is a stretch of road in a hilly area where the level horizon is obscured. Objects such as trees and walls which normally provide visual clues to the true vertical, may be leaning slightly. This creates an optical illusion making a slight downhill look like an uphill slope. Objects may appear to roll uphill. \nSpots where the illusion is especially powerful often become tourist attractions. Tour guides may like to claim that the effect is a mystery or that it is due to magnetic or gravitational irregularities or even that it is a paranormal phenomenon which science can not explain. This is not true of course. Natural irregularities can only be detected with sensitive equipment and cannot account for these places but science can easily explain them as optical illusions. \n\nThere are several things which enable us to sense which way is up. The balance mechanism in our inner ears is one system we have, but visual clues are also important and can be overriding. If the horizon cannot be seen or is not level then we may be fooled by objects which we expect to be vertical but which aren't really. \nPeople often overestimate the angle of a slope. If you are standing on a slope of 1 degrees it will seem like a slope of 5 degrees. Because of this effect the anti-gravity illusion can seem stronger than it should be even when you know the cause.\n\nEven when the true cause is understood it can be difficult to believe. If you think there is a magnetic anomaly just use two plumb lines, one made of iron and one of stone. They would hang at different angles if a strong magnetic field was acting horizontally. \nHowever, it is not always easy to demonstrate that a slope which appears to go uphill is really going downhill. The only reliable way of determining the true horizontal is by careful surveying. If a good topographical map of the area is available it may be sufficient to show which way the land is really sloping. The results will confirm the illusion. \n...\nyou can also check the info I found on the Oshawa site \nhttp://www.shopinoshawa.com/magnetichill.htm

I think the bent poles are used only for down hill. The purpose of the bends is to get tip behind the skier and, this way, reduce air drag.

Longboard Vs. Shortboard.\n\nIt's like downhill skiing Vs. Snowboarding.\n\nYou gotta try them both to see which one you like.

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

ive been there a lot. its a really fun place and theres not a lot of lift lines since it's so big. its really good for all ages and abilitys. while your there you might want to check out other mtns. nearbye. some are Copper, Keystone, Vail, Beaver Creek, Winter Park, and Loveland. youll have a great time.

If you like tricks and air, then snowboarding is the way to go. I've tried boarding a few times, and enjoy it, but prefer skiing.\n\nThe thing I've observed is when coming down a beautiful powdered filled run off the top of Mammoth, the snowboarders are falling all over the place. Then they are struggling to get up because their hands fall through the deep powerder. I once estimated only 1 out of 10 made it down without eating it.  Meanwhile, all the skiiers seemed to be having a blast, making awesome turns, and just skiing it up. \n\nSo I guess it depends on what you like to do, steep powder or tricks?

alpine ski racing.\ni like it because you get this awesome feeling when your doing it. your adrineline is pumping and it is awesome! it is also awesome to watch because you see people going really really fast and railing these turns! it isn't the most popular sport in america but you should try it to see what im talking about.

Just went to Copper Mountain last weekend for their opening and they have some great skiing there. It is more of a resort type ski area though and targets a lot of tourists.  Breckenridge and Vail are better options for someone not looking for the big resort type of ski area.

That's half the adventure. Go get yourself a state county atlas / or map of PA. Read the key in the front, find the county you want to explore, and follow the two tracks. You'll never know where you might end up. In Fact, my hubby and i always go exploring. We know the whole area around our county. Plus we love camping up north on Lake Superior, and there are some awsome tracks up there. Don't worry about getting lost either, thats how you learn to find your way out there. Plus i have seen a lot of unbelivable scenery that i would never had seen, had i never been lost. Go have fun! Just remember to hold on to the "O' *hit bar!

No.\n\nBut thanks to your "question", I have now learned about a great sounding ski-area.  \n\nThanks very much.
