Little Ice Age

There was something very exciting about skating on a block of ice with wet clothes, bruised knees, and frost-bit fingers. It was also extremely heart-warming for me to see my mother and uncle reconnect and make up for lost time over stale french-fries from the concession stand. This sentimental moment was interrupted by a hand on my back, pushing me onto the ice. I was able to pick up my head just soon enough to see my brother laughing as he made his escape. After…

past experiences that have shaped the way I live my life, but the one that I always think about is when I fell through the ice when I was little. Ice fishing was a huge part of my life when I was little and it still is today. Some of my greatest memories are from ice fishing. My dad and I would usually go every Sunday and listen to the vikings game on the radio while in our ice house. On this Sunday, nothing was different; My dad, my cousin Chris, and I all got up early to see if we could catch…

of being. When Ryan Sheckler turned pro he had a whole new life ahead of him. Ryan was young when he wanted it all. What would you have done if you turned pro at fourteen?

He has made an impact to most kids in the world. Ryan has reached out to kids who need a cure for their problems and has helped many sick young ones. His program of…

slowly freezes every inch of my mouth, brain, and stomach. My first time at the Green Mountain Sugar House, I was only a little kid around the age of eight and was very excited to explore the store. The brightly colored red roof was shining in the early morning sunshine, this image will forever be associated with this traditional sugar house. I had never liked any other ice cream besides vanilla and really was not interested in trying anything new. We walked into the store and everything…

you are using it. Now, for your ice-cream base. Remember, this is the fundamental mixture that you need to make a perfect ice cream. To make a perfect ice cream base: • The basic ratio to make a heavenly base is 2-8 yolks for 3 cups of dairy product. Adjust a number of egg yolks according to your desire. If you want a lighter base, decrease cream and yolks then put more milk. If you want a richer mixture, do the opposite. Yolks enhance the texture of your ice cream and act as an emulsifier…

she excitedly pulls us out of bed. This is her day. It belongs to no one else, her first solo ice skating competition. Preparing for this all important day has taken a great deal of work. Able to walk a balance beam at two, Christy takes to ice skating as quickly as she walks a balance beam. Before long we are involved in a world of group lessons, private lessons, ice pros, costumes, and ice shows. Thank goodness for the Zion Park District, five minutes away, and how lucky we are to…

Snowboarding, skiing, hockey, and ice skating are all pretty common here in Idaho. Although I haven’t gone snowboarding or skiing, I have heard from almost everybody that a trip to do either would not be a waste of time. I can imagine what it would be like and I can’t wait for the day when…

triple loop, the feeling of the ghost cold air pushing against my face as I soar across the ice. The best of all though is the feeling of being on the open ice with no one else on it but you and the judges staring at you and an arena full of people chanting your name and screaming. That is what I thought my life was going to be like, but boy was I wrong, although that is exactly my life on the ice. My life on the ice is probably the only thing I really truly love with all my heart. That and my…
