Or "is this a good snowboard?"
If You Ask theese questions, its getting really old. Find out by googling it or Ask Jeeves or even looking up "how to find the right size snowboard?" on Yahoo.
It couldn’t be as bad as the "what size bicycle should I get?" questions I see… or maybe it could!
This November during all Saints and All Souls Day our family plans to spend the holidays in Bohol Island, Philippines and we are not that familiar yet of excellent Bohol resort that is affordable and far from Tagbilaran City, the capital. The reason is that we want to have more privacy and be away from the hassle and chaos of city life. Among many resorts in Bohol Island, what Bohol Resort would you recommend for our family vacation?
Try resorts in Anda, Bohol, about a hundred kilometers away from Tagbilaran City. I’ve heard that Anda’s white sand is as refine as that of Boracay but the place is far more beautiful than Boracay and many resorts in Panglao and other places in Bohol. It seems the place has been a sleeping beauty and only lately there was a growing interest in this town. You can also try La Estrella Beach Resort in Cabilao Island, Loon Town, which was highly recommended by http://www.tubagbohol.com. I think there are also resorts in Calape and Tubigon towns. If you want a crowded place, you go to Panglao Island, not far from Tagbilaran, the capital city of the province.
We are senior citizens from south India planning a trip to USA, during January. Not accustomed to such weather conditions, we would like to know what would be the winter garments, we may have to take, such as woolen overcoat, gloves etc, for our trip.
The USA has a very wide range of climates, so you must re-ask this question with a list of your destinations. If you are going to Florida you will need only sweaters or light jackets, and if you are going to New York you will need heavy coats, boots, etc. Please be more specific. You can also check websites for individual states, which have sections for travel information and typical temperatures.
I bought a burton operator. i was just wondering if i could use it as a park board with cartels or mission bindings? don’t tell me burton is a waste of money. i just like burton for park and stuff. free ride i go with rome.
Is the burton operator a good terrain park board? can i ride rails with it good? and jumps? and boxes and jibs?
dont suggest another board thats better. i just want to know if this board is good for park?
The answer to all of your questions is "Yes." If the Burton Operator was a bad park board, I don’t think Shaun White would’ve used it to win gold medals in slopestyle at this year’s Winter X Games and Winter Dew Tour.
I do a lot of freestyle riding and I’ve never really found a good set up for my bindings. I’m talking about degrees. For awhile I had my bindings set up at 0 degrees on both feet but now I’m curious what Shaun White’s set up is. Let me know. Thanks.
I’ve seen different answers to this question on different web sites, but most agree that he rides +15 / +4 – check out this really great web site for a discussion of binding angles:

Good Luck
I’m looking for a pair of skis that i can use 2 do jumps, rails, etc, but still are decent for skiing normal slopes. Obviously they need duel tips, and preferably not to expensive. i’m an advanced skier, but i’m not very picky when it comes to skis. any help here would be appreciated.
well hmm….. i would say Line the Invader or the Chronic. Their skis are not to expensive. The Chronic you can use in the park and the pipe. Really good for all mountain to. They are about $450. The Invaders are less expensive (around $300). The Invaders are more for the park, but you could still use them for all mountain as well. 
At a Local ski resort, the daytime high temperature is normally
distributed during January, with a mean of 22F and a standard
deviation of 10F You are planning to ski there this Jan. What is the probability of (a) 42F or higher? (b)15F or lower? (c) between 29F and 40F?
yeah that happens all the time at the ski resort I go to. Usually by knight time it is cold enough for the resort to make more snow. Just be careful when you ski by night time when the temperature drops and the slush or softened snow turns to ice. I almost broke my knee because of loss of control.
I am looking to go to one of the smaller, less crowded ski resorts in the lake tahoe area. I am trying to avoid the larger ski resorts, ie Northstar, Heaveanly. Preferably it would have good ski classes and a good selection of runs. I am a intermediate to advanced skier but will be going with other less experienced people. Any recommendations or comments?
My choice would be Sugar Bowl, especially if you live to the North of Tahoe. Excellent snow record, and some terrific intermediate runs on Mount Judah. The new condos at Sugar Bowl village look great as well.
I have no experience with skiing or snowboarding (or water skiing and wake boarding for that matter), so my abilities are awful to begin with. Would I better suited to to begin on skis or a snow board? Why? Do you have any advice for me? Thanks!
What a load of baloney. Boarding is about 4 times easier to learn and do, and about 4 times as painful over the first coupla days. Skiing is far more versatile – you can do groomers, park and freeride, as well as more easily do backcountry, extreme, bumps and race. It’s also faster (if you want that) and more sophisticated (not for showing off, lovey, but for interest and involvement). Good skiing is a challenge to aspire to, not just a skill but an art. Boarding is somewhat of a quick and easy imitation. However the feeling you get is different – if feels freer and is in itself the greatest of fun when conditions/terrain are right.
Skiing is easier going to begin with, but the learning curve is a long shallow one. You won’t fall over much.You’ll learn how to do linked wedge or plough turns quickly. You’ll be able to ski the easiest slopes in a couple of days. In 1 week you’ll be doing easy runs using a faster form of these turns or a weak, unstable, untidy parallel. In 8 weeks you’ll be a fairly capable skier and able to get about most of the mountain ok (groomers anyways). It’ll be fairly obvious that you’re not a very experienced skier. Boarders find learning to ski easier.
Boarding has a steep learning curve. You will fall over much. Pad your butt and other bits esp if learning on quite hard snow. Once you’re able to link turns you’re away. In 2 days you’ll be doing easy runs. In 1 week you’ll be boarding all the groomers except where there are bumps/moguls/steeps. In 2 weeks you’ll be a fairly capable boarder and able to get about most of the mountain ok. No one except the cognoscenti will really know how long you’ve been doing it. Skiers find learning to board easier.
I think i am pretty good at snow boarding so I think i should be able to get sponsered but dont know how
if you want to get sponsored send in tapes to companies, but what i did is i started small. i got a sponsorship from a local shop first and i work my way up. ive got a partial sponsorship from DaKine already. just do what you can, and dont go to anyone and just ask for a sponsorship, dont go to them let them come to you that way you will know that your good enough
