I have played football throughout my life and am fairly accomplished at it with a decent level of skill. However am interested in trying other sports and was wondering if there are any transferable attributes from football that can be used in any other sport.
After the first answer I received I think I must specify that it is not american football but soccer.

2008 Ski Holidays Price Rocket
Filed Under skiing | Comments Off
Roger Munns asked:
A new report shows that a skiing holiday has reached it’s highest ever price, and it’s come at a time when the ski industry is trying to turnaround a drop in bookings last year.
The surprise report shows that the price of a typical ski holiday has risen everywhere in both Europe and Noth America - except for Germany and the United States - with Canadian ski holidays rising in price as a direct result of the strong Canadian dollar against the Euro and British sterling.
Pushing prices up for the 2008 skiing season are not just higher aviation fuel costs and government levied flight taxes, but lift passes, equipment hire and ski instructor lessons have all risen faster than inflation.
Comparing different ski resorts striking differences emerge with ski lift passes costing 90 sterling in Bulgaria and Romania - but over 240 sterling in Banff, Canada - nearly treble the cost.
And private ski lessons also showed great price differentials. Some ski resorts in Romania are offering lessons for 11 sterling, in Switzerland 35 nut in Banff it gord up to 65, nearly six times the cost of their Romanian counterparts.
Once the skiing is over for the day the price differences are still as sharp. While a cup of coffee in Italy is around one Euro, in Norway it is nearer to three, and for those who prefer alcohol a beer in Bulgaria is a pound, but astonishingly over five pounds in Norway - and the cost of a meal shows similar price differentials.
Commenting upon the report, an Andorra travel guide who include ski holidays information comments that ‘The difference in prices between different resorts is surprising. We would expect some regional and local variance but not to the extent we are seeing for the 2008 ski season in Europe and North America.’
The lower priced ski countries could see an upswing in visitors in 2008 - much needed after a poor 2007 season in countries like Austria and Andorra. Both countries are investing in their ski infrastructure and benefitting too from low cost airlines offering more flights to skiiers.
Several airlines recently announced a plan to encourage more trips to ski resorts by opening up additional routes for travel to European ski resorts. These fly passengers directly to the airports that are closest to several of the major skiing destinations for many individuals and families on holiday. For example, the UK’s biggest low cost airline flies passengers on holiday into Barcelona, which is the nearest airport to the Andorra skiing resorts.
In addition to the flights taking passengers to ski at Andorra, there are several more flights connecting skiiers to their favourite ski destinations. Flights from London, Glasgow, Bristol, Liverpool, Blackpool and Newscastle all connect UK skiiers individuals to their favourite ski resorts.
The reason airlines have chosen to increase the number of direct routes they provide to ski resorts for the 2007 winter holiday period is due to the fact business is booming. As of the end of October, one airline had over 2.5 million bookings for individuals and families wanting their flying services to travel to skiing destinations in Europe during the winter of 2008.

Bluem asked:
This is a pretty dumb question, but a friend of mine swears that it should be OK to go snowboarding in the first trimester. We just got a ton of snow, and while it would be an amazing day on the hill, I think it sounds extremely unsafe. Then we started talking about skating, and all of the other winter sports. I have never heard that any of them are safe, falling causes miscarriage doesn’t it?

The Basics of Skiing
Filed Under skiing | Comments Off
Jimmy Cox asked:
There are various techniques important in learning to ski. Below are some of the essential ones you will need to know.
Traversing uphill
Making your way up a long slope you will find the least tiring way is it “tack”, just like a sailing-ship.
Both skis parallel, at right angles to the line of the slope.
Weight on the right ski and the left ski raised and pointing in the new direction. Left pole thrust into the ground close to the left foot.
The right ski is lifted up and brought parallel to the left, with the right pole thrust into the ground by the right foot. By placing the weight on the poles you will prevent any tendency to slide back.
Your “tack” is now complete, and you can continue to ski uphill, with knees well flexed.
“Snow plowing” downhill
You’ve reached the top of the hill, and you’re now going to ski down for the first time. Your first problem is to determine your speed, and to have your skis under complete control as you ski downhill. For this purpose the “snow-plow” position is the correct method of braking.
The full “snow plow” position is flat skis, knees bent forwards, and not inwards. Assume a wide “snow plow” position, with the weight on the heels. Sit well back, with the knees flexed forward. The body from the waist up should be leaning slightly forward. All muscles should be relaxed, and the hands should be held close to the knees. In this position you will be able to brake, edging your skis as required.
Half “snow-plow” position
Running obliquely down a slope a less pronounced “snow plow” position of the skis will, as a rule, suffice to brake, and control the skis.
When you come to learning your first turns, you will find this position, and the practice it gives in the distribution of the weight, of great importance.
Place the weight on the outer (lower) ski by bending the corresponding knee. This ski should be edged a certain amount, while the upper ski should be flat on the snow, with comparatively little weight on it.
With this distribution of the weight you will be able to carry out your first turns. Changes of direction are determined by torsion, or rotation, of the body.
“Snow plow” turns
Learning to “snow-plow” will teach you the correct position of skis and body required for executing turns to the right and to the left. Transference of weight from one ski to another, combined with body torsion, will enable you to change direction at will. Every movement must be carried out rhythmically, and your skis should retain the full “snow-plow” position while the turn is being carried out.
Ski straight down hill, with your skis in the full “snow-plow” position. Place the weight on the left ski, and at the same time thrusting the left hip forward. You will find that you are turning to the right. Transfer the weight to the right ski, thrust the right hip forward, and you will turn to the left. Continue to ski downhill, turning alternately to left and right.
Perfect these techniques and your skiing will become a lot more enjoyable.

The 5 Best Places to Ski in Colorado
Filed Under skiing | Comments Off
Mark Etinger asked:
You can travel the world over, but it is hard to find a better ski vacation destination than the state of Colorado. The ski resorts in the Rocky Mountain state are among the best in the world, offering that perfect combination of challenge, fun and lush scenery.
But what are the best places to ski in Colorado? And will every resort cost you an arm and a leg just to purchase a lift ticket?
The following killer Colorado ski destinations represent not only the best places in the state to hit the slopes, but also some of the most gorgeous vistas anywhere in North America.
You can spend a lifetime visiting everywhere there is to ski in Colorado, but let’s get started with five of the best!
The 5 Best Ski Destinations in Colorado
#1: Arapahoe Ski Basin
Located in the White River National Forest in Colorado Rocky Mountains, the Arapahoe Basin is known throughout the world for some of the most magnificent Alpine skiing available. The ski season at Arapahoe runs long, allowing skiers to take advantage of the slopes until June – while most other resort areas close down during May. You can choose from three large ski lodge structures in Arapahoe – each offering a variety of difficulty levels and vistas.
#2: Snowmass
Close by the skiing Mecca of Aspen, Colorado is Snowmass, perhaps the most well-known ski resort in the United States. The mountains of Snowmass span over 3,000 acres and offer a complex union of top skiing that meets the needs of competitive skiers and novices alike. Staying at the Snowmass Resort is an experience in and of itself, offering five-star accommodations and all the amenities of the finest hotels in the world.
#3: Steamboat
Nestled on the gorgeous Mount Werner in the Routt National Forest, Steamboat Ski Resort is one of Colorado’s oldest and most advanced ski areas. Well over 80% of the ski trails at Steamboat are classified as intermediate or higher level – so bring your “A” game when you come to Steamboat.
#4: Telluride
Telluride Ski Resort is a serious destination for committed lovers of the sport. Located in one of the most remote areas of Colorado, Telluride is an all-inclusive resort free of “weekend warriors” and quick overnight drop-ins from nearby cities. As for the skiing at Telluride, it doesn’t get any better in Colorado, with three of the top ski areas in the country: Prospect Bowl, Black Iron Bowl and Revelation Bowl.
#5: Vail
While certainly not a contestant in the “best value” category, Vail remains high on the list of “places to ski before you die.” What makes Vail such an incredible destination is the anchor of the city – The Vail Ski Resort. The single largest ski resort in the United States, Vail has enough difficult slopes to keep advanced skiers busy for years, but also features a considerable number of beginner and intermediate areas as well.
