The Snow Queen

got his prey. In the stillness of the frigid night, behind twisted, pale trees, a dark silhouette emerged from the shadows. He passed under jagged crystals while his breaths, for a moment, hung suspended in front of him before they disappeared. The snow melted under the weight of his strides and the chilly wind clung to his grime covered skin, not hidden underneath the filthy army blanket on his shoulders. Nevertheless, he trudged silently through the darkness amongst scattered pieces of what…

am not proud to admit that I almost chickened out. I mean hey who can blame me? It was the first ramp of my life. I had something to prove, but I wasn’t going to get myself killed doing it. Nevertheless, I continued my descent toward the ramp. The snow all around was chalky and cut up by the snowboarders (I hate snowboarders, sorry if you are a snowboarder). Deep grooves were worn in the center. I think the middle was at least a foot below its original height. The sun had long gone down. The…

the dark hallway outside of my room and into the kitchen to get some breakfast. After I ate my breakfast, I ran to the front door, got my shoes on, and went outside to play and run around in the cold, freezing, white blanket of snow. While I was running around in the snow, my parents hollered at me "Ian please come inside, we need to talk to you. I yelled "okay" and went inside.

While I have many snow globes at my house collected from my childhood, this was the first one I was in. I think a lot about the countless times my dad has told me of stories of his childhood. His numerous adventures of snow days,…

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. As a fourteen-year-old freshman, I suddenly found myself in a strange new land. 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…

school for seven hours, I put on my boots and headed to the ski lift as I looked at the snow glow in the cold February sun. As I waited in the line, John was grabbing ice balls the size of my hand, while attempting to throw them at my back. As Jack left his station, the smell of weed stenched across the entire ski area. Not even caring about looking at my lift ticket,I easily got on the lift. I tried to pick up a snow ball as the lift came up and pushed me on its cold, rusty seats. Getting…

started snowing. It had been snowing on and off for the past 24 hours. The kids would put on their snow pants and boots and carefully head outside, avoiding the slippery patches of ice. Many would rush to a side of the playground, where someone had an idea to make something even more fun. We had something that was commonly known as the monster slide, as the opening had a design as a dragon’s mouth. Snow on the ground was two feet high and increasing with the precipitation falling, but children…
