SKI-DOO SNOWMOBILES: CHANGING THE WAYS OF WINTER FUN There is no greater feeling than flying over the snow going 80 miles per hour on a snowmobile. The snowmobile industry has provided many communities with millions of dollars for businesses such as dealerships, hotels, restaurants, and manufacturers. The average snowmobiler takes 3-4 times every winter for some fun. The snowmobile has changed in design since the first attempts to add a motor to a sled. The snowmobile has become lighter and…

Skiing gives me a chance to be free from worry and stress that comes with being a highschool student and meet new people. I started skiing when I was six years old and fell in love with it. By the time I was nine I had mastered the blue and black diamond trails and wanted to do morel. I turned to the terrain park, which is where the jumps and rails are located. My friends and I would egg each other on to go off them and try new tricks. By the time I was 15, I began going off the expert-level…

Western Cordillera After nearly 720 km of walking, I’ve arrived at one of the highest points in the Western Cordillera. My legs and back are sore from climbing the steep and twisting mountains, while my entire body is frozen from the ice and snow. But the sight I see now is definitely worth it. Everywhere, all of it, is beautiful. The mountains I see are the very jewels of nature, hardly affected by the booming forces of erosion. These are colossal proofs of the Western’s Cordillera’s status as…

Me. Colorado. Mountains. Skiing. 12,510 feet. Nothing brings more enthusiasm than knowing you’re about to be carried over two miles in elevation by a rickety bench hanging from a cable, only to slide all the way down on a couple narrow strips of plastic. The entire experience of skiing creates an exhilarating sense of adrenaline beginning with the chair lift, standing at the top, and the trip down. At the base of the hill, I look up at the immensity before me. With my skis clicked in, my…

You may not be inclined to take a winter vacation to a warm weather climate just for a golf outing, or simply unable to get enough time off work. That means, if you’re an avid golfer living in a cold weather region, you’ll need to play your local golf courses during the winter months whenever the weather is pleasant enough to get in a few holes. This means you will have to deal with course conditions caused by winter weather, including applying winter rules to various situations, if doing so…

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary (2015), the secondary definition of ‘blinders’ is, “Something that serves to obscure clear perception and discernment.” From youth through to maturity, our perception blinders are defined by environment and experiences - they focus our vision—just like their primary function on a horse. It is through these lenses that we see, process, discriminate with, and, in turn, form the basis of our decisions. They are filters we use to process information and…

When i was 11 i discovered long boarding. I was watching youtube video’s one day about hover boards or something and found a video of someone riding down one of the steepest hill which is Baldwin Street in New Zealand which has a gradient of 35%. It's not the steepest hill in the world just the steepest drivable one. So this guy was going a little over 70mph on this long skateboard kinda thing and binge watched long boarding for the next week. I figured out the best brands what to put on it and…
