Two Surprisingly Different Types of Skiing Thump! That is the sound of my body hitting the ground during my first time snow skiing. Splash! That is the sound of my body hitting the water over and over again as I am trying to learn how to water ski for the first time. I have recently had the privilege to be able to experience both water skiing and snow skiing. I was able to learn how to water ski for the first time this last summer; I went snow skiing for the first time this winter. Even though…

Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world. Lake Superior is 2,726 miles around with the deepest part being 1,332 feet deep. If you could go anywhere you should go to Lake Superior. First, you should visit the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There are many things to do in the U.P. one of these things is skiing. A few ski hills that overlook the water are Mount Bohemia, Indianhead Mountain, and the Porcupine Mountains Ski Area. Indianhead Mountain is a small mountain but if you're…

ISP Snowboarding trumps skiing Over the past few decades ski areas have been split between skiers and snowboarders. People who are looking to hit the slopes for the first time have a big decision to make: buy/rent skies or a snowboard? Given these two options, I believe that first timers should take up snowboarding instead of skiing. Snowboarding has a cooler and more interesting culture, snowboarding is more practical, and snowboarding has better style than skiing. For these reasons it would…

After being at school for what seemed like forever, I put on my boots and headed to the ski lift as I looked at the snow glow in the cold February sun. As I waited in line, John was grabbing ice balls the size of my hand, then throwing them at my back. Without anything to throw back him, I felt as helpless as an amputee in a war-zone. Even though Jack was next to me checking my ticket, he did not seem to care that someone was throwing ice balls at me. He didn’t even care to look at my lift…

“Fall down seven times, get up eight.” I know that sounds easy, right? Well, it is not so easy when you are held down by the biggest burden of all. It was a perfect day to go sledding the winter of 2014. I went along with my neighbors McKenzie, Noah and Hunter. My siblings Averil, Elias and Xavia also came along. We were sledding on the small hill by the District Service Center. We always wanted to see who made it further down the hill. After a while my brother found a jump a little ways down…

temperatures dropping and heavy rain in the forecast it is that time of year when the annual snow watch begins. With each flake of snow we get closer and closer to hitting the slopes. How incredible to live in a City where you can cycle, paddle and snowboard all in the same day! I have a confession to make. I am a prairie girl by birth and my love for snow runs deep. I vividly remember my first snow day on the North Shore Mountains. It was surreal to me that I could leave the big city far…

laughing. I started laughing myself think how funny I looked. I went sledding with my family during winter and we bought a new snowboard I was really looking forward to ride it. My family and I went sledding that day and I was really excited to ride it! When we all got there me and my brother raced up the hill, I won like always. My brother wanted to ride the snowboard first, he got on and roughly rode down the hill screaming, “AHHHH.” It looked fun so I wanted to ride it next, so I grabbed the…
