Are twin tip skis for use by the novice or just for the experienced skier.?
Twin tip skis are for the experienced skier. they tend to be much easier to use. also they help you control your movements better while on the water. Skis are meant for fun.
Can anyone identify a set of twin tip skis that are really light and cheap if possible?
There are several great options for you. Line makes a twin tip called the Mastermind, K2 has the new Press. Salmon make two twin tip skis the more freestyle oriented Threat and the all-mountain version the Knight. Volkl has a really great new ski called the Alley. These are all really nice, light weight twin tip skis that are all sub $350. Check out the link below to skis.com as they are offering free shipping on all 2011 twin tip skis right now.

What is the equipment used in freestyle skiing?
If your looking to become one, it's much better than regular skiing. We use flashy and tricked out jackets, pants, etc. Also trench coats for some too. Use very small poles because they don't get in your way as much. Use twin tipped skis. Usually a little wider than normal and have your bindings placed in the center (for better balance). LINE skis are always good, twin tipped atomics, and lots of other twins our good too. Buy a normal helmet usually pretty plain. Plain because when you start to enter contest and get sponsors, stickers to support a brand are always fly. You don't need to sag your pants like most. I personally don't because i don't think it looks that much more dope, and it gets in my way when performing tricks. Get some sick goggles though usually reflective cause that way... well it's just fly. Use a bandana or something close too it. I use a thing that looks like a bandana but is a better material because sometimes the bad bandana cloth freezes and chafes. You can find these kind of "bandanas" at any local ski/board shop. For gloves simply something very warm but light and able to use. So usually a glove. Boots are kind of out there. Just get a good one with good support, that's warm, and pretty flexible. Have fun becoming a Freestyler!
What are powder skis?

What is the difference between twin tip skis and regular skis?
if by regular skis you mean downhill skis, then longjump skis are similar, but they are nearly twice as long and twice as wide-- the greater surface area makes the ski jumper accelerate faster, thereby allowing him to travel farther off of the jump
How long should the rope be for slalom skiing?
The rope does not need to be any determined length. Just no that the longer the rope the harder and farther you can cut outside the wake which then allows you to cut hard back at the wake and get lots of air. A shorter rope will give you much more control though.
Are Rossignol skis good for powder skiing?
It really depends on the ski. Rossignol makes a lot of good racing skis (not so good for powder), but they also make a few skis that are good for powder. If a pair of skis has twin tips, than it will almost always be good for powder. On the rossignol website there is a little meter for each ski that tells you some of the specs of the ski and what kind of conditions that ski is then made for.

How do you tell if a snowboard is twin tip?
There are two types of twin boards- a true twin and a directional twin. A true twin means the board is 100% symmetrical. The stance is centered, the flex is even, and the sidecut is radial. This is the shape you find mostly on freestyle boards. A directional twin has twin tips and sometimes a centered stance, but the flex is directional and/or the sidecut is progressive. This is the most versatile shape and is commonly found on all-mountain snowboards.
