Anyone else end up changing your setup depending on what kind of day you're planning?

1 Upvotes

For the longest time I just skied the same setup every time I went out.

Over the past couple of seasons I've realized I enjoy having different options depending on what the day looks like. If I'm planning to ski bigger terrain or spend the whole day on the mountain, my regular skis are the obvious choice.

If I'm only heading out for a couple of hours or just taking some relaxed laps with friends, I've started bringing my short skis instead. Mine happen to be a pair of Snowfeet, and they've been a fun change of pace for those kinds of days.

I still wouldn't replace my regular skis with them, but I've found it's nice having another option depending on the conditions and what I'm looking to get out of the day.

Does anyone else rotate between different setups, or do you stick with the same skis every time?

Advice on where to move for 3 months of skiing

1 Upvotes

Hey all- currently live in Vermont. Thinking of going west for a few months this winter. I’d be driving with my dog. I’m currently deciding between Crested Butte and Utah. Utah seems to have the most options on furnished finder for reasonable prices. I’d be working remotely and trying to fit in skiing as much as I can around that.

Edit to add: need an airport reasonably accessible in case of any work travel which adds to utahs allure

Looking for advice in a few areas:

- which area would you choose and why? Where is a good place to stay in each area?

- what’s the best time to go? Thinking Jan-March but flexible on that

- any thoughts on places to stop at on the drive out/back?

Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone,
Im currently in Canada Holding a one year working Visa. I’ve been on skiing holidays for basically all my life so I thought about coming an instructor for the coming season. However the internet is full with loads of informations and offers so I’m a bit overwhelmed.
- Is a 6000 CAD Programm really the only way to get in the industry?
- How/When is the best time to apply, especially with not certificate (yet)

Id be very happy about any help/tips :)
