            The rec.skiing Frequently Asked Questions List
                              -or-
   Everything you always wanted to know about skiing and were *just* about
   to ask by posting.

   The rec.skiing FAQ is a work in progress and is maintained by glen

   welcome. If you have an addition or correction to make please take the
   time to write it out in the format of the FAQ so that I don't have

Mike Rizzi (rizzi@netcom.com) kindly maintains a list of phone numbers
for the North American Skiing/Snowboarding community. 


	North American Ski/Snowboard Related Phone Numbers
	==================================================
			  31 July 1992
			  version 1.7

This list contains mostly snow report and lodging information phone
numbers, but it also includes some road conditions and weather numbers.
It also includes some specific lodging numbers culled from personal
experience or net references.
There are also airline and rent-a-beast numbers at the end.

Some of the phone numbers are old and may no longer be valid. 

thanks to these snow vigilantes for their input:
