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?
anything I should think around bindings?
What is your skiing ability level? I'm relatively new to skiing myself,
but I'll give you my opinion:-> I'd go with the 170cm, I'm only ~150lbs
and 5'10" tall and I'm skiing very comfortably on 175cm Vol Ant Machete

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?
The worsening condition is my back leading to overall musculoskeletal
problems in addition.
Apparently the problem is arthritic in nature so the disks are degenerating
leading to rupturing.
I'm not supposed to ski anymore, as of last Friday, but I don't think I'll
stop until I can't get out of the truck. I'm too young to live like a
debillitated 80 year old. Hopefully my plan to ski the blues conservatively
will work out. |

Quote: 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.
60 degrees. |

Oleg:
Noone else has responded yet so..........
Mont. Ste. Anne, outside of Quebec City, is supposed to a very good place
for both DH &XC. I've heard it described more than once, from both friends
& internet descriptions, as the best in the East, possibly in North America.
I have not yet visited this resort though so take this with a grain of salt.
Here's their homepage: http://www.mont-sainte-anne.com/ for more info.
I have skied the Gatineau, across the Ottawa River from Ottawa. A great
place for XC but not a resort. There is a DH area there but I know nothing
about it. Ottawa is a great city though and it's less than 15 minutes away.
Not near Quebec City but somewhat close the Tremblant.
I know nothing of the XC opportunities at Tremblant.
MOO,
Matt

Quote: Hi,
I would like to come to Quebec for Christmas vacation
with my family (incl. 13 yrs old son and friends kids - 16-1  .
Could you recommend a good place for cross-country skiing
[snow for Christmas, lots of intermediate trails, good rental skis]
in the area where it's not boring for family with older kids,
some entertainment exists (say, bowling or some museums or
smth else to do).
A little alpine [with bunny slopes] might be an option too.
I was thinking maybe of Mt. Tremblant or Quebec area,
but don't know either.
Any suggestions ?
Thank you in advance,
Oleg
