So once upon a time I decided that I would learn how to ski. Now, I'm pretty sure everybody knows what skiing is. Where you get on a lift, go up a mountain, ski down, and then start all over again. Turns out there is a lot more to it than just pointing your skis in the direction you want to go and then ta-da. Learning how to stop is probably a very crucial factor in skiing, but I thought it was so easy that I could do it without much instruction. Turns out it's very important to get instructions…

What do you do with a face full of snow and a trail of ski equipment marking your every mishap? Some may turn red with embarrassment, some may cry, and some may swear to never go down that wretched mountain again. Trust me, I have done each one.

Colorado had me knocking more snow off my boots after a walk across the street than I had seen throughout my entire life living in Texas. Early the first morning I bundled…

“Let’s hit the slopes!” This is what everyone says when going skiing. Especially in my situation. It was my seventh grade year, I had never been skiing before, but I was ready to go. I had on my snowsuit, three different hoodies, a hat, a scarf, gloves, and extra fuzzy socks. Could I have been more prepared? In my head I couldn’t have, but hitting the slopes would tell me something completely different. My best friend at the time and I made our way into our bulky ski gear. We talked each other…

The main use for…

I turned back around to see Tyson still ducked next to the snowmobile and Tyler standing frozen staring a bear in the face. “Tyler. Back away very slowly and duck next to Tyson.” I said calmly and slowly. “Tyson. You need to come over here and let's do something dumb.” Tyson without hesitation got up and walked ever so slowly towards me. He got next to me and said “So what is the plan?” “Get on your snowmobile and follow my lead.” I said. We got on our snowmobiles and we creeped forward until we…
