Telemark skiing

For my family vacation when I was 14 my family and I went to Ruidoso, New Mexico to go snow skiing. My Mom, Dad, Brother, and I went the year before, so we decided to invite my aunt or uncles for our second trip.It took us around 10 hours to get there with all the traffic. Since it was going to be such a long drive, we left at midnight. So that we could drive through the night to make the drive seem shorter. We ended up getting there at like 8 or 9 the next morning. All we wanted to do was hit…

Ski patrols work in some of the most dangerous conditions faced by first responders. Not only do they face precarious snow conditions en route to emergencies; but they also must carry all their equipment on their backs and perform rescues in below freezing temperatures. Some patrollers are also trained to rescue individual’s off chairlifts if necessary. On top of the already difficult job of rescuing injured skiers, patrollers also monitor trail conditions, and provide skiers with opportunities…

Chapter 54 (A Beautiful Woman In The Snowfall) Although it had been four years, but my skills were still very nimble! I quickly stepped one foot on the small tree, and with the help of the tree, I bounced onto the top of the wall, positioning myself mounting the wall that was covered with snow. I looked inside the campus. Not a single person was in sight. The students and teachers should be still having a nice dream. There was only me, this hard working person who had been woken up by the…

“Fall down seven times, get up eight.” I know that sounds easy, right? Well, it is not so easy when you are held down by the biggest burden of all. It was a perfect day to go sledding the winter of 2014. I went along with my neighbors McKenzie, Noah and Hunter. My siblings Averil, Elias and Xavia also came along. We were sledding on the small hill by the District Service Center. We always wanted to see who made it further down the hill. After a while my brother found a jump a little ways down…

Ski Trip to Vermont My friends and I consider ourselves to be very spontaneous and adventurous. It was one cold week in February of 2016, when a group of about 6 of my friends (including me) all decided that we wanted to go to Vermont for the weekend to ski and snow tube. Considering this would be my first trip with no parental guidance at all, I was apprehensive about asking my mom. On the way to drop me off after school one day, my best friend Tony told me to tell her that he was going too…

“I know you can do it,” my dad said. I was slowly moving my skies forward only skiing for my third time. When trees were next to me and the parking lot all the way down I knew this couldn't be good. I just flew down the hill where my skies were almost of the hill. With the snow in my face, the wind making me ears cold, and the fact that I had no idea where I was going I was frightened. I was so scared to keep on skiing, I was just about to plan to fall over. I opened my eyes and there I was on…

day! I have a confession to make. I am a prairie girl by birth and my love for snow runs deep. I vividly remember my first snow day on the North Shore Mountains. It was surreal to me that I could leave the big city far below and within minutes be skiing downhill. The panoramic views from the ski hills…

I wanted to lead Alameda High School’s Ski Club since Freshmen year. Skiing is different from other sports. I love hearing the snow beneath my skis, and the views are breathtaking. I’ve been skiing since I was three years old and was ecstatic when I realized there was a Ski Club. I loved my first high school ski trip because of our communal bond over the love for snow. The following year, I was elected club President, but it just so happened, that all the upperclassmen graduated. A club of…

I can’t believe that I finally convinced my Dad. We had talked about getting me my first snowmobile. The snow was falling, and I was very anxious to get riding. I didn't think that this would ever happen. After quite some time stalking the internet, we found one. We found a 2015 polaris 550 for a sweet price on craigslist. So we called the guy up set a date for the coming saturday. Saturday morning bright and early we were on the road to antigo. We stopped at kwik trip to get some gas and some…
