Originally posted by CliffLandin My advice to you is to lose, the sticks and go buy some snowboarding equipment. Skiing takes a long time to be good, much like chess. Snowboarding, on the other hand, takes only a couple of weeks to be hitting the double black diamonds.
Oh yeah. Buy a helmet. Your head is worth 50 Euro.
Snowboarding's good.
Telemarking is better - much faster, if speed's your thing.

I'll give you telemark skiing for backcountry, but I have yet to see a tele skier that can keep up with a snowboarder on a powder day, or even on a groomed run.
