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

Why go Skiing? I would like to describe why everyone should try skiing‚ at least just once. There is nothing like the feeling of skiing down the piste‚ whether it is in the morning with low temperatures and maybe sunrise glowing on the snow-covered mountains‚ at midday‚ or in the late afternoon. The feeling of gliding upon the perfectly groomed white snow and having the wind blowing in your face‚ is just terrific. Another great thing about skiing is the personification. You can ski completely

following the curve of the trail‚ and skis out of sight. When I finally catch up to him I am shocked at what I see. My dad is getting up from a fall – he never falls – and both his skis and poles are scattered around the trail. In all his years of skiing‚ as far as I know‚ my dad has never been injured despite some careless falls. As I ski down to my dad I pick up his matching black skis and poles. I get closer to him and see a look in his eyes that worries me. I hide my concern and calmly ask‚ “Are

Skiing I was raised to love the endless wonders of winter and the sparkling white flakes that fell from above. I have been exploring and enjoying them ever since I can first remember. Not surprisingly‚ the first sport I ever participated in was downhill skiing. My dad introduced me to it when I was only two. I have been tearing up the mountain ever since. I may have been to young to remember but I can only imagine what I thought when my dad strapped two boards on my feet and sent me on my

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

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

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
