Snowboarding

an uncanny ability to adapt and overcome in the face of seemingly impossible odds. In Pyeongchang there is no better example of this than twenty four year old snowboarder Mark McMorris. Only eleven months prior to the games he nearly died in a snowboarding accident and he not only managed to compete, but win a bronze medal. When he woke up from his medically induced coma after the accident in March 2017, one…

Shipyards for using his name and likeness without his permission. 3. The case should be decided in favor of the defendant.

to put on my sister equipment by myself but I legitimately started to ski at age 3 but later at age 5 made the switch to snowboarding. My family is and has always been a big ski family as we go to our ski chalet at beaver valley ski club every weekend of the ski season and spend every Christmas there. Beaver valley is where I started my love for skiing and snowboarding which is still a big part of my life. In 2004 my family made the move to Fredericton New Brunswick. In Fredericton I…

fish and I enjoy spending weekends baiting hooks and enjoying the views. During winter, I partake in hunting and snowboarding. Furthermore, my eventual goal is to get a tag for a moose in the Missouri breaks of Montana.Essentially, I have been snowboarding since the 5th grade and have always enjoyed the time spent on the peaceful slopes. One of the great things about skiing, or snowboarding, is being able to not only enjoy yourself but to share life stories with new people on the chair lifts.…

I heard a satisfying click as I secured my boots to my snowboard. The wind ripped at my back while I stood at the peak of the hill, overlooking the lodge. I took a deep breath and pushed off the bench. My snowboard glided effortlessly across the soft white snow, and I came upon the edge and drifted over it. Suddenly, the wind blasted my face as I sped down the hill. The grind of my board against the rough ice below the thin layer of powdery snow was delightfully crisp as I veered left and right…

Trouble in Snow It was one week after New Years at Snow Creek Mousseri. I got there at 6:30am. I paid for the pass and got ready to go in the snow. This was my 2nd day snowboarding so I didn’t know much. I was wearing a blue NorthFace coat and jacket under with a shirt under that, snowmobile gloves, two pairs of wool socks, brown Burton snowboard boots and a black Morrow snowboard. It was eight degrees fahrenheit. It felt like it was as cold as Antarctica, although once I had everything on I was…

thought as I wandered back to my inability to understand the appeal of skiing. After many winters of unhappily skiing down the mountain, which usually ended up in tears (I really don’t understand why, but I always cry when I ski), I decided to try snowboarding. By this time, I had just started my 7th grade year at Nobles and even then, my bitter hatred for skiing had not subsided. I was eager to try this new sport because my thought was that literally anything would be better than skiing. As…
