As I sat in nature looking down at a canyon blanketed in snow, this is the only question I could think to myself. The snow, God’s beauty sent down to Earth, is not something to be angered about. Why is the snow beautiful? Is it merely the looks, or is it the meaning behind the flakes falling from the sky? To fully answer this question, I headed…

It was cold outside. Stars were falling, ice and snow, swirling little pearls that were ripping holes into the darkness of the vast, vast sky. His naked feet felt cold against the frozen ground. Swift like a storm he danced through the night, like the shadow, that he was once taught to be. (Forced to be.) The streets were empty, everyone seemed to be sleeping in their beds, far from cold, far from worry. He was the only person left; The only one that was still willing to walk. Perhaps, he…

Snowboarding I looked up at the huge hill with my snow pants, coat, gloves, boots and hat. My new orange and yellow digital Camo snowboard was in my hand.As I stared in stun at the hill, I thought it might be quicker to fly to Mt. Everest and climb that then climb this hill. We were in my grandparents backyard that was probably big enough to make a football field. I felt butterflies flying around in my stomach as if they were in prison trying to escape.I heard footsteps behind me. “Get up…

It was a cold winter day in New York. Snow so bright it could blind your eyes. Sun reflecting off the snow to make it brighter as the snow plows drive by. Salt trucks following moments later. A small girl is getting ready for school. Her name is Skyler Lynn Johnson., short, pale girl only around five foot one inch tall, long beautiful black hair with a set of blue eyes about as bright as the sky on a summer morning, with a voice not really high but not super low. “I’m headed out Mama,” she gives…

first experience of snow was like a snow globe, except it seemed whoever was shaking it wasn’t going to stop. Snow Globes are a model of a scene surrounded by particles of fake, white matter resembling snow, but when shaken it turns to a magnificent snowstorm. While I have many snow globes at my house collected from my childhood, this was the first one I was in. I think a lot about the countless times my dad has told me of stories of his childhood. His numerous adventures of snow days,…

When I first read, “Up in the Air, and Down, With a Twist” I was instantly brought back to the ten days that I spent in Springhill, Colorado where freestyle skiing was the norm. The lodge where I stayed was one of the lesser popular resort for skiing because my mother refused to let myself or my father ski in fear of injury. On the contrast, I felt immersed in the winter culture, and this article brings back those fond memories of my vacation. The author, Henry Fountain is able to catch the…

How would someone describe the snowy mountains of Yellowstone National Park, Montana? Everything is covered in snow, the white frosted ground crunching underneath the boots of people. Every tree is covered in layers of snow, an avalanche happening every time the branches slightly swayed. Buffalo would roam around like cattle would on a farm. Everything is frozen, turning the fingers and faces of young and old a bright red. The hot springs and geysers showering mist on the nearby flora covering…

It was night time. You could hear a wolf howling, a dog barking, a cat mewling. There weren't many people who came to our town. Our town was called Morninglight. Our town was a recently established town, so it was rather small, but it only grew smaller when villagers entered the forest. There used to be a girl called Snowkittin. That was me. The reason they called me Snowkittin was that every day, when it it became dusk, it would get very cold, and I would stay out all night, causing my parents…
