Back in August I posted a query asking for advice on buying skis. In the course of the conversation I was advised by nickwm21, hawkgt, Ryan Dunfee and auvgeek to buy properly fitting boots. Having...

I spoke to my friend who lives in Albuquerque last night. We're going skiing while he's off work for Christmas break. We'll be on the slopes (weather permitting) Dec 18. Here's hoping for plenteous...

I live in West Texas and may have some opportunities for weekend trips to Albuquerque this Winter. Just wondered if anyone here has skied Sandia Peak and what your thoughts were? The last couple of...

I finally got back into skiing two years ago after a 25 year hiatus. I skied while in college back in the early '90s. Needless to say, ski technology changed A LOT during that time. Parabolic skis...
