Some boot/size questions...
One other thing you can do is jam a tape measure into the shell of
your boot and figure out how much length you actually have INSIDE the
shell. Boots of the same size from different makers will have...

Heat moldable liners...
I have Garmont Endorphins (love em!) and was surprised how much the
molding added space in the heel. I think the boot went up a half size
once it was molded. Keep that in mind as you're trying stuff...

Real Ski Question: Big Sky Montana
Big Sky is a good family resort. Not a big base area but what is there
is friendly. I haven't been there with good snow since they opened the
tram to the top so I can't say whether the hardcore...

What skis to rent for spring skiing
Definitely rent something wider for the soft conditions. You ride
higher on wider skis so it keeps you up and out of more of the mush.
There's a cool shop called Backcountry Access not far from...

skis length
If you're new to skiing and around 5'9" and average weight, I'll say
you should ski on something like a 172 or 178. You may even go shorter
at first until you get better. As these guys said, you...

Oh and places listed as Marketplace location are fine too. That's the
edge of the main village and closer than Blackcomb Base.

I'd recommend any of the places at the main village. Blackcomb Base
places are fine too but just add a 7 minute walk to get over to the
Village for dinner, more shops, etc., after skiing. Not a huge...

Heh, NO REASON to work at a ski resort if you don't have to. The only
exception in my opinion would be part time in a bar. Then you'd meet

Chamonix is more for the ski-mountaineer type. For a regular inbounds
skier it'd be terrible. Much better to hit one of those mega-piste
resorts like Trois Vallees or something.
My favorite thing is...

Whistler Peak to Peak Gondola
The more **** they put in Whistler to distract the tourists, the
better. That new lift on Whistler this year kept the crowds WAY down
on the Peak chair compared to before, IMO.
