Snow

Valcourt, Quebec is a very snow heavy place in Canada. The roads were never plowed in rural areas like Valcourt back in the 1920’s, making outside travel during the winter impossible. Growth was slow, towns were very spread apart, and illness during these periods spelled death with the inability to travel. What if one machine could change all of those things and more? Joseph Armand Bombardier thought so when he created the first snowmobile in 1922. More so, the snowmobile was the largest bolster…

The snow crunched beneath my feet as I walked onto the chairlift the wind howled and I shivered as the snow went down my back, the lift shuddered to life and started climbing up the face of the mountain, near the top I started strapping the Burton snowboard to my feet I turned to the right of me and saw two Swedish skiers who must have been on vacation it was odd because Sweden has a lot of snow so I asked them if they spoke English and they either couldn't hear me or didn't understand me and…

The breeder greeted us and showed us inside. There were three wiggling puppies on the floor. One girl was a beautiful blue girl with striking…

Endless winter night One day in January, in the dark hours of the evening, my brother and I decided to go quading on the cold road. Quading in the snow is always the funnest. The best adventures happen when everything is dark around. We don 't know what 's around us whatsoever. Walking outside on the cold dark planet, we slowly walked to the shed where our quad was sitting. We opened the door and the aroma of gas came our way. "Of course it smells like gas here" he said. "Well of course, this…

Soft whooshing sounds rose up from beneath my skis as they slid across the soft crystal like snow glistening in the bright winter sun. The cool and crisp air was the ideal temperature for a day of skiing, not too cold to make it uncomfortable, but still cold enough to keep the snow from melting and turning slushy. With these snow conditions and bright blue skies above, all in all, it looked to be a perfect day for skiing with my family. Accompanied by my Mom, Uncle, and 4 cousins, we woke at…

In the dark of the night snow began to fall, covering the hard ground covered with ice that the last storm had brought. Those who knew of the danger hiding behind the new snow would be staying inside, but the ignorant children would be out, enjoying the wonderful break from school. Robert Vidason pulled the hat over his long brown hair and thought fondly of the waiting snow outside the door. “Be careful!” his mother called from her office workroom. “You know me, always safe!” He called to her…

of Skiing Thump! That is the sound of my body hitting the ground during my first time snow skiing. Splash!

It was a cold winter day in New York. Snow so bright it could blind your eyes. Sun reflecting off the snow to make it brighter as the snow plows drive by. Salt trucks following moments later.

Her name is Skyler Lynn Johnson., short, pale girl only around five foot one inch tall, long beautiful black hair with a set of blue eyes about as bright as the sky on a summer morning, with a voice not really high but not super low. “I’m headed out Mama,” she gives…
