Snow White

The jury is out!! Which facet of the fence do you sit on? Snowboarding has its location as a style drove recreation, and creating a declaration at the hill seems to be the manner ahead for most riders. So the query remains, why smash your appearance with a silly helmet? The answer for me is clear; you'll by no means see me using without a nicely geared up snowboarding helmet! It wasn't usually this manner... Once I discovered to experience, for as a minimum the primary three weeks I was…

accustomed to turning on skis, I automatically assumed it would be as simple as turning the board with your feet. This knowledge did not translate well to snowboards, and as I attempted to turn right on the beginner’s slope, I fell backwards into the snow with a loud, audible THUD! As it turns out, turning on a snowboard requires you to apply pressure on the board with both feet in the desired direction you want to turn; this method causes the snowboard to carve a deep ridge in the desired…

during the storm and it looks kind of…squared you could say. Since the snow is heavy, more of the leaves are now fallen off and it’s starting to look like winter. Today I went to my grandparents’ house to spend the few nights until thanksgiving. While driving out there, the corn fields and the bean fields were all covered with snow, you could tell that the deer were out and about since you could clearly see the footprints in the snow. We saw a dead rabbit I believe in the middle of the road and…

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…

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.…

home away from home; a relaxing getaway to the mountains. Gatlinburg has by far the best sights of any spot one decides to visit. Imagine catching your breath as you step into the crisp air one morning during the winter season. You gaze upon the snow capped mountains and spot all the cabins that appear to be warm and even remind you much of holidays back in Georgia. You look past the streets at all the lights that appear around the months leading…
