Well, first of all that photo is from 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. And to answer your question she has been using Rossignol skis for a while now.

I've been at Borovets at NYE. It was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is just wonderful. There are other couples but you can't say it's too crowded. The nature over there is really fascinating. It's high in the mountains so you'd better take warm clothes. And about the snow, yeah, there is always snow there during the winter. The ski slope are very well equipped and there are instructors for beginners. It's not expensive at all and you can afford everything that is on offer at the resort. Oh, yeah, and Bulgarian people are really friendly and hospitable.\nIn my opinion Borovets is a really great choice for NYE. It is certainly something different and interesting. Bulgaria is a really nice country and once you visit it you'll love it. \n\nHope I've been helpful and have great time at NYE!

I went to Madonna Di Campiglio on my first ever boarding holiday and found it really good. The pistes were good for all rounders and they have the 'tre tre' there where I think they do downhill racing.

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.

any nearby mountain is good.  but don't waste your money on instructors they will just baby you and allow you to quit. go with a competitive friend, preferrably someone who is big on snowboarding and not willing to wait for you, this way you force yourself to get off your butt and go!

yeah, I went skiing there last winter, and it was awesome! I stayed in the area Pas de la Casa, and then did my skiing in Grandvalira. It was a great place, and there are pretty good and inexpensive places to stay there right near the pistes. Also the people there are really friendly and always willing to help you. Alot speak some english as well, if you dont know Spanish or French. If your into the nightclub scene there is a place called El Pandero on Avenue D'encamp in Pas de la Casa. It was pretty fun. All around there, there are plenty of resturants as well, you will never go hungry in Andorra!

It is (I know this for sure, because I am going there this summer) happening in British Columbia, Canada. More specifically, Vancouver, and the surrounding areas. There are numerous mountains for the downhill (skiing and snowboarding) events to take place at. The indoor events (ice skating, curling, etc.)- as well as the opening/ closing ceremonies- will happen right in Vancouver. I'm not sure where the nordic, and other outdoor events will happen, but probably just outside the city. They have really great facilities everywhere, so even though they have a lot of work to do, they already have a great head start. Also, I know from experience, the village at Whistler/ Blackcomb are great "tourist" attractions, and there is a great deal to do right in Vancouver.

Try the bigger brands, such as head, fischer, atomic, salamon for the skis. You should be able to get a good pair of intermediate ones for that price. I recomend salamon for boots.

I only race on Atomics, but for speed events, all the Austrian manufacturers are good - Atomic, Fischer, or Head. For slalom skis, I have SL:11s which I love and I also have a 10.22s, DH, and SG Atomic boards - I can't recommend any of them highly enough. The only downside is you're forced to use Atomic bindings (or void the ski warranty). Rossis are known for SL skis, but I've seen a lot of people break them in races lately, so quality may be an issue.\n\nYou can get most race skis cheap on eBay - I've used Denver Wholesale Skis before (dwskis) and they're reliable and their service is great.

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!

Snowboarding is amazing! I used to love skiing but ever since I strapped on the snowboard ten years ago, I have an attachment: so much so that I competed in snowboarding competitions for two years! It rocks! \n\nSkiing is Safer\nSkiing is more Controlable\nSnowboarding is def. more fun to watch!!!
