For those who just don’t get enough skiing and riding in one winter, heading to the southern hemisphere is a good opportunity to extend one’s skiing/riding season right through the year. I’ve been fortunate to teach skiing for over 14 years now and one of the highlights is surely spending a season Downunder teaching skiing at Perisher Blue, the largest ski area in Australia.
When I purchased a ski area home years ago, the previous owners had almost 30 seasons worth of Season Passes for their entire family posted on the back of the basement door. It was an amazing sight; the many faces and how they changed over the years spoke volumes about how skiing was a way of life. I’ve continued that Season Pass farm with my own passes from over the past 14 years.
Just a brief note from the Snowskills.net staff that we plan to continue posting regularly right through Summer 2006 with Skiing and Snowboarding tips. Our friends in the Southern hemisphere will be making turns while our friends in the Northern hemisphere count the days till the snow returns. No matter what side of the planet you’re on, we’ll continue to build our database for the skiing and riding community with the intention of making your winter recreation more fun.
Thanks for being part of the Snowskills.net world and keep checking in with us through Summer 2006!

O.K., today’s blog is surely a pet peeve of mine in skiing; too many people have no idea how to carry a pair of skis comfortably! Let’s face it, the gear can be heavy and you’re probably wearing heavy layers of clothing and might be in your ski boots and it’s likely that you’re walking uphill or on uneven terrain and yeah, sure, it can be a challenge! With all that adversity, folks tend to make things worse by contorting their bodies and limbs in all sorts of combinations that usually aren’t very efficient and lead to almost immediate fatigue. These folks are almost human porcupines, in that their gear is sticking out in all directions and likely to hit anyone and anything close by. To learn how to carry skis comfortably, watch the professional skiers from your local ski school and ski patrol: they’ll show you how it’s done!
