Ski lift

In the article “The Great Pleasure Project” on SkiMag, Tim Neville writes about his trip to North Korea for its newly opened ski resort. Neville is taking the risky, yet a worthwhile journey into the land of mystery covered in media stereotypes. Utilizing contrast and contradiction, the author writes about nothing that could be called pleasurable and so little about skiing to defy what the readers will be expecting. Seeing the article, SkiMag followers and fans of travel writing are looking…

build it and roll it down the hill, same as you did before. I will be standing at the top of the ramp, so when it comes down the hill and up the ramp. I can pick it up and lift it the few feet to the top. “ Ben said. (He was around six feet and four inches tall.) Zack, Taylor, and Austin decided that they would also help Ben lift the head when he got a hold of it. We recreated this plan, exactly how Ben described. “Wow!” exclaimed Anya. “Tell you what, that’s impressive!” said Austin. “It’s…

fast and had a blast. I felt that learning to snowboard was a goal that I had finally achieved and I couldn’t be happier. We left Friday night on March 11, we drove all night and arrived mid-day on Saturday. We spent Saturday getting fitted for our skis and snowboards, going to eat, and resting to get ready for our first day on the slopes. Early Sunday morning we all split up and the people in the group skiing or snowboarding for the first time went to our lessons while the others just headed…

Cross-trainers Combine elements of treadmills, stair-climbers, cycles, and cross-country ski machines. Some machines include arm resistance to work both the upper and lower body. Like ski machines, they require some coordination and may tire you faster than other machines, but they give a very thorough aerobic workout along with some resistance training. Workouts Heard of the 7-minute workout? How about Tabata? Both are just a few minutes. The trick is, you work harder than you thought…

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 ticket which explains how I got on the lift. I tried to find…

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 looking for a good day on the slopes and a good view of Lake Superior this is a great option. Mount Bohemia is another great ski hill if you're looking for a little backcountry and tree skiing. The Porcupine Mountain ski area is a great kids friendly ski…

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 they have similar names, they are each unique and different from each…

the top of the ski lift, I hesitated. The “bunny hill” seemed more intimidating than its name. The ground and the ski lodge seemed miles away, tucked behind the pine trees, and the slope descended in twists and turns. Concerned, I turned to my mom. “So...do I just jump?” I knew how difficult it was to walk in the ski boots, and I could not imagine how to get off the moving chair. She shook her head, glancing at the couple in front of us. “No, it looks like you just put your skis on the…

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…
