Top shops and teachers
One source of frustration faced by many skiers centers on the reliability and expertise of ski shops and instructors—does this shop really know what it is doing? Is the boot technician a true expert? Can this teacher actually help me improve? These questions are of special importance when the skier is away from home base, for example visiting a resort for the first time.
Realskiers maintains a growing list of shops we know to be expert and teachers who get results.Total links
Direct links to all major suppliers, top ski sites and portals, snow cams and conditions reports, organizations and institutions, including hard-to-get direct telephone numbers for North American suppliers.
