Introduction: Ski jumping is one of the competitive sports with the Olympian ideal of going faster, jumping further and leaping higher than the opposition (Muller 269). However, sometimes accidents happen. For example, Thomas Morgenstern crashed during a trial round for the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in Bad Mitterndorf. Later, he was hospitalized with skull injuries and a bruised lung (The Associated Press). Then, why did this accident happen? What influenced the performance of Morgenstern and…

Skiing is a great way to exercise, yet have fun. I ski because I like the feeling of going really fast down a steep snow covered hill and catching really big air. I like any type of skiing, downhill, cross country, even backcountry. I love the feeling I get when I am in the air for a long time. I also like the vibe that a ski resort gives off. There are the ski bums(that are there everyday), the crazy ski team kids that send it off anything, and the first timers, everyone is having fun. I like…

from by Canada’s Federal Government. The National Park Act protects and strictly regulates development to protect Canada’s wildlife. In Jasper only 3% of the land has been developed. Amongst the Development are the town of Jasper, and the Marmot Basin ski area. The advantage of this proposal is the environmental development due to the area being protected. The fact that 97% of the area in Jasper park is protected by the National Parks Act allows the wildlife to flourish making it very…

In this world all of us have different views on activities, food, and a number more. There are various activities, like snow sports. When choosing a snow sport, a person needs to know the difference between snowboarding and skiing. First, a person needs to know the difference in the learning curve involved in snowboarding and skiing. Skiing is probably the harder one to master. In skiing, a person can clock at least 80 miles an hour on a head wall(this is the steep face of a hill; also it is a…

turn the jet ski 180 degrees. It didn’t really work, when we turned we hit a wake halfway through and my dad and I flew off the jet ski. When we hit the water it felt like hitting solid cement. I went underwater and I thought I was drowning even though I had a life jacket on. I had a very sharp pain in my leg. I came up and yelled at my dad, “My leg is broke my leg is broke”, He yelled back “it is not you probably just pulled a muscle”. My dad didn’t hook the safety strap so the jet ski was…

like other ski towns, normally the off season turns into ghost season, we stayed populated all year round. If you were to ask my parents which place held the best memories, I think it’s safe to say we would agree on Switzerland. The views were rigid and mysterious. Some of the most breathtaking moments have been standing at the peak of Zermatt resort, embracing 360 degrees of pure beauty. Switzerland was also the first family trip we all took together that didn’t result in a trip to ski patrol…

who, in 1988, became the first ski jumper to represent Great Britain in the winter Olympics.

Bum leg or no he train 's himself religiously to be good at...well any sport will do! He only wants to compete. However one day he finds his true calling: Skiing! And after fate deals him crummy hand; Ski Jumping! While we 're…

sand that made it painful to walk on. Once we pushed off the sand and began swimming it was very relaxing; the repetitive sound of the waves crashing gave me sense of comfort. The loud rawr of the jet ski was enough to wake me from my trance and flip relaxation into pandemonium. Riding the jet skis to the rhythm of the waves was a blast. We also took a ride on a luxurious yacht that brought us to an interesting…

I am from euphoria, A city enclosed by beautiful peaked mountains, Adventures leading to remarkable destinations. Barbara Kingsolver, the author of the essay "Knowing Our Place", once said, “Our greatest and smallest explanations for ourselves grow from place” (40). This “place” that Barbara is talking about can vary from person to person. It can be as unique as a red barn roof top or as generic as a shadowed bedroom. Everyone has a place like this in mind and it may even change often. Places…

Meant to enhance the structure of community assets, community improvements can take a different turn when presented. Challenges are created as not all parties see projects as improvements to the community, but as a loss of structure to environment, beauty and potential opportunities that are important to them. Using social capital, building trust and creating teambuilding can help lessen the impact or destruction of the cohesiveness found within a community. As Estates outlines, social…
