Skiing

We began the journey to Colorado in a hot, unairconditioned car. My shirt was sticking to my back and there was literally steam coming out of my ears because my blood was boiling with fury and anger. Out of all the days in life, I needed some peace, and thanks to God, I experienced it at the end of a long drive and a hike up the mountain with my cousins and siblings. The peace I experienced on top of the mountain was like no other. Standing on the edge looking at the beautiful…

Alta is a ski area in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, in Salt Lake County and they just added a new trainee to their Alta Ski Patrol rescue team and when Lucy is on Puppy Patrol she takes her job seriously. If you’re ever caught in an avalanche, the first responder that will come to your aid will probably have a cold wet nose, wearing a fur coat and running on all fours. Lucy being a trainee still has a ways to go before she can join the ranks of her other four-legged friends as an official…

About two years ago during the winter, my friends and I went to Mountain Creek to go snowboarding. We would go frequently throughout the snowboarding season, so it was like any other day. We got there and headed straight for the slopes. After an hour or so, the temperature raised and they started blowing fake snow. This made it difficult when riding past the machines because you couldn’t really see throw the thick cloud of fake snow the machine was making. As I was riding through the machines…

Snow flies through the air. Blistery, frigid, and stinging air flows through the crowd. The sound of the ice crunching as the board glides over the shiny course projects through the Phoenix Snow Park in PyeongChang, South Korea. 17 year old Red Gerard is having the run of his life as he spins through the air. His final run is his best yet, with him using the whole slopestyle course to his advantage. After falling in both of his first two runs, things weren’t looking too good. Red was sitting in…

It was a bright, white, snowy, cold day. The roads are covered with snow and the fields look like clouds with trees, the edges of the clouds are the snow filled ditches with the ice covered frozen bottoms. Dad had the day off of work and asked if I wanted to go snowmobiling with him. I obviously said yes because I’ve wanted to go all year. After we put on all of our snow pants, coat, gloves, and helmet he helped me get the snowmobiles out of the garage and start them. He was riding his 2012…

Mount Everest Imagine: You are on Mount Everest, Nepal. You are hanging over what looks like a never ending abyss after falling through the treacherous paper thin ice covering the drop into the chasm were no light can penetrate. You were saved by knowing the terrain and weather patterns of Mount Everest, the immense amounts of snow, the wind, hidden chasms, ice everywhere, and etc. You made tools and clothes to keep you from falling off from ice and up to 175 mile per hour wind speeds…

It was a sunny 56 degree day here in Beaver Creek, Colorado and I was ready to make my snowboarding debut. I woke up with a spark of energy and I was ready to go up to the lift, but first I had to go and get my purple and black snowboard. After I had my snowboard in hand I walked outside. While I was making my way up to the lift, my stomach was flipping 100mph and I saw all of the kids struggling to get on the lift. I was praying to God that I would not fail while trying to get on the lift. My…
