Backcountry skiing

A week ago Jazmyne and Noah wanted to slide down it, apparently Noah was sledding on it with the snowmobile and Phil. so we used him as our guide around the hill. I took one look at the steep side and decided I'm not fast enough. You could see the sun reflecting of the ice on the steep side, it was a perfect angle and enough to throw yourself ahead if there was any bumps. We all decided to sled down behind it, We also agreed to go down two times because it was really hard coming up. Jazmyne was…

When i was 11 i discovered long boarding. I was watching youtube video’s one day about hover boards or something and found a video of someone riding down one of the steepest hill which is Baldwin Street in New Zealand which has a gradient of 35%. It's not the steepest hill in the world just the steepest drivable one. So this guy was going a little over 70mph on this long skateboard kinda thing and binge watched long boarding for the next week. I figured out the best brands what to put on it and…

I have never liked skittles in my life, there just are no benefits to eating or buying skittles. I could be considered a pro at hating them.They make you feel sick, because it's just a ball of processed sugar. M&M’s are superior in every way. Anyway, who wants to eat something that can give you skittlespox? M&M’s look the same on the outside as skittles, just one with the S, and one with the M on it. But whenever you bite into a M&M after having a skittle, you realize how much richer M&M’s are.…

Skiing has been a huge part of my life. Ever since I was young, I would always venture out to the mountains and go skiing. What makes skiing a lot of fun is the environment you get to be apart of. Every hill you go up to, there's always a new surrounding you get to interact with. Aside from the environment, one of the primary reasons I love skiing is because I am able to compete against others for the fastest time by completing a course. So, when I was in middle school, I signed up for the ski…

It was a cold and snowy winter, I was eight years old, my dad was outside on the hill snowboarding. (Descriptive adj.)I had always wanted to learn how to snowboard, so I put on all my coats that were thick and ran out to my dad.(restrictive clause) My dad said that he was having a hard time because the snow was so thick, and that we should go and get the ranger to compact the snow down so it would be easier. “This should be good enough”my dad said.(Demonstrative) Once we compacted all the snow…

“Somethings are More Fun Than Expected” A moment that has changed my life was when I learned how to ski. I had been being harped on forever to try it. Skiing can be breathe taking, nerve racking, and fun all at the same time. For several years I have wanted to try it but deep down I was always way to nervous. Finally, I told myself you have to try it to know if you're going to like it. The day has finally come! I went running to my mom "The next time we are at Cuba Lake I'm…

I will never forget the day that my parents told me we were moving to Colorado. I had a wide range of emotions towards this, I was both nervous and excited. I can explain it best as the moment before the fall on a roller coaster, the butterflies building up in your stomach as the bottom of the hill is not insight but the ride down is sure to be amazing. Much like roller coasters new experiences have no true end in sight but the journey along the way with all the twists and turns are sure to…
