I have taught people with prosthetics to snowboard (AK and BK) and all of them have their weaker leg (the prosthetic) in front. The back leg needs to be able to skate and do more than the front.

Wow! Too cool! They look like little mini-Bettys.
(I used Skittles and chocolate too.)

"I have her bindings at 15/30. I want her to really learn to carve, then she can do what she likes. I would just like to see the fundamentals well established."

I'd go duck for beginner kids and...

HEY! I apologize for the Mexican hottie remark already! She'd kill me if she read these posts. Adios gabacha!

My favorite person to thumb Berthoud with is my friend, Evelyn. She's a 25-yr-old Mexican hottie. Sometimes we don't even get our boards off and we have a ride.
:)

Thumb. That's half the adventure. It helps to be a girl.

That was a rating by Ski Magazine. In Transworld SnowBoarding, Vail came in 7th.

I-70 to exit 232, Highway 40. You can jump off almost anywhere and end up on the highway again. (Although I've had to swim out of there in arm-pit deep snow a few times.)

I hit Berthoud Pass yesterday and it was waist deep and cold for Oct. (about 10 degrees). The snow was dense, but not wet-dense. You had to go steep and keep the nose up. Don't think I've seen such a...

Berthoud Pass is my favorite area . . . free, steep and deep, but I guess you guys like your corduroy. I do too sometimes. At the prices that these combo passes sell for, you could buy both for less...

I decided on the Extreme Balance Board.

ok, I'm clueless. What is the zone and is there a web site?

What are the actual advantages of Vew Doos, Extreme Balance Boards and Indo boards? What makes them better/worse/different?

I've been fooling around on a bongo board at my health club and decided to buy one. Has anyone tried voodoo boards? Any thoughts on which one is the best?

I am, and that's why I read TWS and hang out with teens sometimes. I'm not killing it in the park, but I'm curious about it and enjoy watching it. An accepting attitude goes a long way toward...

I have nothing but respect for ski patrol. They pull long, hard hours and don't get paid enough for what they are responsible for. Snowboard instructor: been there, done that, not going back. The...

How far up do you start? That could be radical from the top! What's the pavement and traffic like? On the hairpins?

They can take some getting used to. I've almost died on mine a few times, but if you find some good hills without much traffic, and you have a posse along to drive, T-boarding is a blast....

Kurt Hoy is the senior editor of TransWorld SNOWboarding mag. I've asked him about a little hardbooting in the mag and he said he would consider it, but really, that ain't gonna happen.

Laurie Stephens is the fastest woman mono-skier in the world right now. It's her first paralympics and she has two golds and a silver with one event to go the last I heard. She won the downhill by 3...

Hey, Lee. Got a picture of you on the podium last weekend at Copper. E-mail me and I'll send it to you.

This past weekend, I raced the USASA Copper Series GS and Slalom and I had to comment on how generous Bomber is to up and coming racers. I saw two deserving riders win TD2 bindings: Karla Whitacre...

Violence never solves anything. It just shows how immature you are. Yes, a father's responsibility is to protect his kid but it is also to teach that little girl manners and restraint. So what is the...

I've seen very little of it in the past ten years. It used to be quite common. The only time I experienced it recently was in the ski school last season. I did a GS clinic one morning and I was the...

I have only taught adaptive snowboarding although I've done alot of research on adaptive skiing. There are many instances where snowboarding is a better alternative than skiing and can mean the...
