I live in Minneapolis and have gone skiing in Lutsen, MN for the last several years. Lutsen is definitely better skiing than anywhere else in Minnesota, but I’m wondering if there’s something comparable in another state. However, it’s difficult to figure out much about how the resorts compare from looking at their websites. Can anybody tell me whether there are ski resorts with more, longer, or otherwise better runs than Lutsen in the Midwest? Michigan? The Black Hills? Wisconsin? I’d appreciate comparisons from somebody who has been to several of them. Thank you!

A friend is willing to sell me her ski boots, Dalbello CX 3. But a little bit of research revealed that these are junior boots. Well, I’m far from junior, in fact I’m a mother to 3 juniors. Do you think I could use these boots anyway? BTW, I’m quite a novice (I’ve been twice), but my kids have recently discovered skiing and snowboarding, so we’ll be going more often and fairly soon.

My boyfriend, another couple and i are planning on going away over New Years Eve. We want to stay at a ski resort and be able to ski. We are two young couples and would like to have things around us to go do. We were thinking of Loon in NH but not reconsidering. Are there any suggestions on what mountain and resort and if there are things to go close by. Thank You!

Which ski bindings are compatible with the Rossignol Sprayer ski boots?
I’m looking for some skis, bindings, and boots and i like the Rossignol Sprayer boots so I’m trying to find out which bindings would go with them.
