The art of skiing has some minor risks while others take it to the next extreme. There are so many types of skiing like cross-country‚ freestyle‚ alpine‚ ski cross‚ nordic skiing‚ and countless more. Only one contains jumps and rails to test your skill. This would be known as Slopestyle skiing‚ it is quite a breathtaking experience just to see someone doing flips and tricks in the sky. But what would it be like in there shoes? What would it take to become an Olympian? I chose this because it is high

Trying new things can be tough. Facing our fears is something many people refuse to do. I had to face my fears this past weekend‚ when my family decided to go on a skiing trip. I woke up around seven thirty or eight o’clock on Sunday morning. My mom‚ younger brother‚ and I stayed at my mom’s boyfriend’s house the night before. The original plan was to get up around five in the morning to get to the ski resort earlier‚ but we ended up sleeping in a little bit longer than expected. My mom woke me

I can still remember the first time I went downhill skiing. It was a cold and dry November day. It hadn’t been snowing much at the time‚ so most of the snow on the hills was that slick‚ jet blown‚ artificial-ice/pseudo-snow. Not exactly what a first timer likes to start on.My friend Michael had been trying to talk me into going on a skiingtrip with him and the local Boy Scout troop for some time. I was afraid at first; I had heard many over-exaggerated stories from people who had claimed

The morning air brought chills across the land. Trees shook and snow flurried about the ground creating the mountain smog. The cold metal of the chair lift endured the morning breeze comfortably‚ while the two on it sat silently tucking themselves away from the frigid air. Puffs of clouds rose from both of their mouths as they breathed in the rejuvenating gusts‚ only to disappear from sight within a few seconds. The quiet breath of the mountain and the groaning of the iron monoliths holding the two

Skiing or Snowboarding? It is a commonly debated question. Everyone has their different opinions on this matter‚ but mine is that snowboarding will always be the best. Because it’s easy to learn‚ how it’s more convenient‚ you look cool while doing it‚ and fewer injuries are some of the reasons I think that snowboarding will always come first. The first reason is that it is all I am acquainted with. It was hard to learn at first‚ but once I got the hang of things I was ripping it up like a professional

downhill skiing when I was 11 years old. My mom had randomly brought some of my siblings and myself to Buena Vista. Buena Vista is a decent sized ski lodge by Bemidji‚ Minnesota. That was the first time I had been there or to any ski lodge or resort. We all had loads of fun and loved it right away. We could not get enough of it. As I grew older‚ I continued to ski at Buena Vista a few times each winter. For mine and Rena’s birthday‚ we brought some of our friends to go downhill skiing for their

I am here to tell you today that snowboarding is a short-lived dying culture and that all of the snow on our mountains should be used by the skiers! My first reason as to why snowboarding is a dying culture and skiing is far superior is that snowboarding is far more dangerous than skiing for many reasons. Firstly snowboarders have a much harder time stopping than skiers do. All a skier has to do to stop is a graceful hockey stop‚ or a snowplough for the less experienced. Conversely‚ a snowboarder

geezer’ next to them doing the same; what if the old person next to them also had a bright red mohawk and a metal dog bone sticking through their nose‚ it would be like the end of the world. The geezers’ like snowboarding as an alternative to skiing for several reasons. They say it’s easier on the joints‚ which I think would be really important to a 60 year old on the mountain. Most of them are there for the recreational value of it not for a workout or to be sore for the next week. Also they

Do you love to ski? Do you have the adrenaline rush to go long distances? Cross country skiing goes back thousands of years when we attached wood to our feet. This allowed us to travel fast at high speeds on the snow covered ground. Believe it or not‚ cross country skiing still flourishes today. Cross country skiing was not considered a sport until the 19th century. Many people hardly even knew about skiing‚ let alone calling it a sport. In 1924 it showed up at the Winter Games Olympic held in

blanketed by two and a half feet of snow. It was a mild Sunday in early February and I had been on a pair of skis all morning. I had progressed fast enough throughout the day that I had built up a false sense of confidence‚ as it was only my first day of skiing. Confidence that was short lived when faced with the biggest challenge yet‚ an intermediate level ski run that required a controlled precision I had not yet developed. Down the slope I went quickly accelerating to a blaring speed‚ I rounded the first
