Watching the downhill skiing event in the Olympics and those guys are flying down the hill. Wanted to know what the record is for the longest jump ever achieved.

there is no record since those jumps are estimates and not measured as are the ski jumps.

Ahead of the 2010 Winter Olympics, the gold medal favorite in alpine skiing, Lindsey Vonn, hit the slopes with the reporter Bill Pennington. She spoke about crashing, recovery and being the fastest woman on the mountain.

What is more popular among french teens, downhill skiing or cross country
?
What do young people do in the afternoon of L’Aid el-Fitr?

I have a number of good friends, and acquaintances, in the southeast of France (in and around Grenoble), and they all seem to be strongly preferable to downhill skiing. When I was in high school, a friend of mine went to visit a mutual friend of ours in France during the winter, and he went downhill skiing. From what I observed during the time I’ve spent in the region, downhill skiing is very popular, as there are many mountains, and Switzerland is very close by.

However, I’m sure cross country is more popular in flatter areas, like Limousin, than it is in the Rhone Alps.

As to what young people do on Eid Al-Fitr, I don’t know, as I do not know any French Muslims.

I really want to take my family skiing, my 5 year old daughter really wants to learn and my other daughter will be almost 2. What would there be for her to do?

You can lash them to a snowboard more-or-less as soon as they are born if you have to go.

All kids love snow,

Surely that’s why YOU want to go isn’t it? So whats the problem?

Okay, yes this came to mind while watching the Olympics, I want to practise skiing but there is absolutly NO snow close to me, theres sand, sand, and more sand. So has anyone got any ideas?

In line skating uses similar muscles to skiing and has the same edge to edge concept as skiing. Or there are things called Skiers Edge that replicate the movements of skiing. http://www.skiersedge.com/

For an expert skier, are there any places worth going to? What is the level of the terrain and the quality of the snow? If I am used to skiing in the Rockies in America, am I going to be disappointed in the quality of the skiing?

Mt Ruapehu (North Island), Hutt (Christchurch), Incredibles (Sth Island). There are too many ski fields!! An American friend of mine is a really good skier and he loved the ski fields near Christchurch.
