Sweet! I'll have the most chilled knee ever.

Don't cut other skiers up, or take someone's line who is coming down quicker than you.

Don't be mean to snowboarders - they are just out there having fun like us.

Don't carry your skis on your sholder in queues.

Take your rubbish with you (and that includes cigarette butts).

Give your old gear away.

It is a little device sewn into your jacket which can be detected by search and rescue teams with a little gizmo that they carry.

A definite if you are going backcountry.

I have heard you can buy them seperately and keep it in your pocket. Check your local ski shop.

I think any sport that engages someone physically, mentally, and spiritually will get someone interested and hopefully hooked.

But that said the Atomic Big Daddy (and the rest of the Daddy series) is a pretty good all rounder from what my mate tells me.

do mean the big daddy? a 125mm waist and a turn radius of 41m? I've not skied it but I can't quite see that as an all round ski :D

Well all rounder in so much as it does what Rossfar8 looking for - mainly powder but can be landed fakey. Also it works well on the groomed.

Not that i dislike them I just need something capable of getting plenty float on those powder days (doing a season in Banff) yet still able to stick a trick in the terrain park when need be. Anyoine have any ideas? I want something quite a bit wider than the trouble makers which arae 81's. Cheers lads and ladies-been looking at Dynastar Big Troubles and Armada ARV.

I was reading a review of the Atomic Snoop Daddy which might fit the bill. It's light though which doesn't work for everyone.

Whoa. You must have been posting at the same time as me. Great minds and all that.

You are really looking at two pairs of skis for your requirements.
