Ski jumping

that adrenaline rush. My skis pointed straight down the edge and all my mass shifts forward and was off. Avoiding the moguls I swiftly weaved in and out making a powder wave that trailed behind me. Going straight down I speedily zoomed by others down the Mountain with the wind in my face and cold air seeping through the little cracks in my attire I know now that I just finished. The 110 inches of snow in the winter of 2014-2015 was the perfect time to learn how to ski I thought. I was at my…

As the snow slowly melts away, students head back to school. The bustle of hundreds of students and staff under one roof is becoming more familiar. Getting back to the normal routine can be difficult. And saying goodbye to the snow is the worst. Many people enjoy the snow days such as eighth grader Anna Hanus, “I sleep in for a long time and then watch TV or go outside.” The sight of snow excites most everyone and playing in the snow can be fun and dangerous. Just ask eighth grader Delandra…

You may not be inclined to take a winter vacation to a warm weather climate just for a golf outing, or simply unable to get enough time off work. That means, if you’re an avid golfer living in a cold weather region, you’ll need to play your local golf courses during the winter months whenever the weather is pleasant enough to get in a few holes. This means you will have to deal with course conditions caused by winter weather, including applying winter rules to various situations, if doing so…

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…

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.…

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…

Chapter 54 (A Beautiful Woman In The Snowfall) Although it had been four years, but my skills were still very nimble! I quickly stepped one foot on the small tree, and with the help of the tree, I bounced onto the top of the wall, positioning myself mounting the wall that was covered with snow. I looked inside the campus. Not a single person was in sight. The students and teachers should be still having a nice dream. There was only me, this hard working person who had been woken up by the…

“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…

I sat there, in the deep snow, drawing my sound map. My eyes were closed, using my every ounce of strength to listen for even the smallest sounds. The whispering trees melodic wind, the creaking ice which covered so much of the winding river that ran through the riparian area on my map. When I was done, I laid down, acknowledging nature 's picturesque sky and landscape. The beautiful baby blue sky enveloped me with it’s gentle appeal while the tops of Aspen trees forced it’s barren branches into…
