of Skiing Thump! That is the sound of 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…

This activity is one of the traditional games the Iroquois would play. The snow snake game was played in the winter, in an area with enough space, after the hunting men came back. The game would be a large celebration that the women and kids would get into as well. It could be comparable to football and baseball games because all the families and friends would come to cheer on their favorite player. Each player carved a piece of wood into a spear shape with a curved end. Then, the player would…

Aparajita: You know, whenever one talks of North Bengal, it is Darjeeling - the snow-capped mountains, beautiful forest bungalows, tea estates that comes to one’s mind. Next is Siliguri and NJP (New Jalpaiguri Station). So whenever I told someone that my husband is from Siliguri, who was born in Naxalbari …there was no apparent excitement… just the opposite a sudden dead silence. One obviously associates Naxalbari with Naxalbari movement and Naxalism. I always wondered what it was like to be…

Skating had always been your passion. As much as you liked showing off tricks in the skate park during the day, nightfall had always been your favorite time to pull out your wheels. There was something about the tranquil gloom of the evening, the radiance of the stars and moon, and the eerie silence of empty streets that gave you the utmost satisfaction of just being alone with your skateboard. You wrapped yourself in a hoodie as you walked towards the front door. You sat on the floor and…

Two paths diverge in a wood Frozen. The one word used to describe how my body. My new winter boots dug into the snow, and the moisture that have penetrated my boots dug into my foot. I suppose that’s unfortunate consequence of stepping into a river, in the middle of one of the most bitter winters I have ever seen. The lights of my scoutmasters snowmobile flickered on the top of the hill. The destination was close, and I quickened my pace. I wondered what my leaders might tell me when I arrived.…

music came from, shoving all the snow and snow slide away to keep Gabriel warm, but the snow kept getting in our way. As I walked through the snow, all the memories from the Giver I learned came up in my mind growing in a cycle and I felt balmy. The colors, food I liked, the sleigh all I learned, all the memories warmth myself even in the snow. Yes, I felt warm, but as the memory grew, I felt more exhausted. I shouted for help without any power and collapsed in the snow wondering if somebody…

For Martyna. My best friend and biggest fan. Back Track Traveling through the mountains that are pregnant with a winter breeze, a light grey haze slowly forces itself into my line of sight. As we travel at this remarkable speed, the haze becomes brighter and brighter, slowly engulfing more and more of my surroundings. With each passing second, everything that I see forms one image. They become the spectacle that is my future. I’m still young and have no way to interpret what I have seen.…

Snow was a small cat. And her best comforts in the world were the little things in that huge black blanket of a sky every night. What had her mother called them? Stars? Snow would sit outside and watch them for hours and hours every night, sitting on the barn rooftop, climbing up trees, and enjoying the stars with a mouse. In the winter, she would always wear a green piece of cloth like a scarf, to keep herself warm. But what she didn’t know was that the skies were watching her every night. The…

The snow day It was a cold winter's morning, I can see the white fluffy snow that was falling last night. And me my brother and sister were ready to go sledding.(There's a park behind my house so that's where we usually go.) While we were outside getting the sleds from the garage. Mom was doing the dishes and dad was watching a basketball game. We were all bundled up in warm clothes and hats/gloves. We go over to the park and start sledding we raced to see who could go down and up first, we…
