Did you know yoga is great for skiers? Or that you should spray your feet with antiperspirant to keep them dry? All of these are tips from ski experts. They make sure great suggestions for both the beginner and experienced skier.

Here a few highlights:

2. Packing: "Most airlines let you travel with a ski bag as one of your checked bags. Just be aware of the weight allowance." Mike Douglas, Salomon International Ski Team

5. Selecting skis: "Call a ski shop near the resort and reserve demos. They're high-end skis that won't make you look like a gaper, the way most rentals do." - Jonny Moseley, Olympic gold medalist (moguls, 1998) and Ski Channel advisor

6. Socks: "Ski socks are way better than standard cotton socks. They allow more blood flow, have cushioning where boots can accommodate it, and are warmer. And before you put them on, spray your feet with antiperspirant. Your feet will be drier and warmer." - Dee Byrne, director, Vail Snowsports School

8. Scoping out the mountain: "Most resorts offer tours at the beginning of the day. Take one that's geared to your level. It'll help you pick out the runs you'll really enjoy. Besides, tours are a great way to meet people." - Tom West, president and CEO, U.S. National Ski and snowboard Hall of Fame and Museum

9. Safety: "Don't end the day with a difficult run. Not only will you have already peaked, but the conditions change. In late afternoon, the light gets flat, the temperatures go down, and everyone else is tired. Statistics show that most accidents occur late in the day." - Tim White, executive director, National Ski Patrol
