Hi everyone..

I'm 6'3" tall and 13stone, (83 kg or 182lbs).

Should I go for the 170cm or the 165?


Also.. has anyone used these skis.. .any thoughts?

Hi all,

I've been diagnosed last week with a herniated and sequented disc in
my lower back... (S1/L5).... Symptoms are numb foot and weakness in
calf muscle.

Trouble is... I've got 16days in Alpe d'Huez booked from 22nd Dec.

Has anyone skied with a recently injured back like that? Only thing
I'm nervous about is a fall which may cause permanent damage.


Talk to your doctor.

With that said, I've been skiing with a ruptured disc for 2 years. This
year I will stick to the intermediate runs because of a worsening
condition
since July. Skiing has not been the source of increased damage to my
back;
but I've skied carefully.

Is the worsening condition your back or something else?

Could anybody share opinions about Big Sky Resort in Montana? We are
considering the week of March 20th, 2006 (spring break for my son).
Comparisons to Snowmass, Colorado would be most helpful. My son is an
advanced intermediate skier, my wife and I are solid intermediate skiers.

Some of the things I am most interested in are: snow conditions at that time
of the year; lift lines, lodging recommendations, and anything else you
think would be helpful.

Thanks,
William


Your son might want to try the upper part of Big Sky. Very very steep.

You don't need mountains to ski.
