Water ice

Snow flies through the air. Blistery, frigid, and stinging air flows through the crowd. The sound of the ice crunching as the board glides over the shiny course projects through the Phoenix Snow Park in PyeongChang, South Korea. 17 year old Red Gerard is having the run of his life as he spins through the air. His final run is his best yet, with him using the whole slopestyle course to his advantage. After falling in both of his first two runs, things weren’t looking too good. Red was sitting in…

were children. Perhaps next time we are in pain, we should think twice before taking that pill. Is it necessary? Is it the answer for our chronic pain? Atul Gwande introduces us to the model of the hurricane vs the ice cube in his book “Complications” by asking “are people more like ice cubes or like hurricanes?”…

The group played an ice breaker where if you identified with the person in the middle, a person had to run to and link arms with the person in middle. I sat back and observed as the student with visual impaired was clueless to her surroundings. I become upset so I stepped up to intervene the icebreaker. I pointed out to the group that the ice breaker was not being inclusive to all in attendance. I suggested instead of running to…

It was a bright, white, snowy, cold day. The roads are covered with snow and the fields look like clouds with trees, the edges of the clouds are the snow filled ditches with the ice covered frozen bottoms. Dad had the day off of work and asked if I wanted to go snowmobiling with him. I obviously said yes because I’ve wanted to go all year. After we put on all of our snow pants, coat, gloves, and helmet he helped me get the snowmobiles out of the garage and start them. He was riding his 2012…

This dark magic is not in the form of ice powers however, it is in the form of a mirror. A mirror that had been created by a devil. This mirror had the power to change the way people saw themselves, taking away the beauty and leaving only the bad and the ugly aspects. When the mirror is shattered…

The snow crunched beneath my feet as I walked onto the chairlift the wind howled and I shivered as the snow went down my back, the lift shuddered to life and started climbing up the face of the mountain, near the top I started strapping the Burton snowboard to my feet I turned to the right of me and saw two Swedish skiers who must have been on vacation it was odd because Sweden has a lot of snow so I asked them if they spoke English and they either couldn't hear me or didn't understand me and…

pitiful as a kicked puppy. It stood only about 7 feet tall and had almost no surface area. The white-blue ice had a shiny film on it; it was definitely melting. I could see that some chunks were holding on for dear life. When I stepped onto the bed of ice, the glacier moaned, as if my weight was too much to bear. I gingerly walked over to the Last Glacier. It shifted, and a giant chunk of ice tumbled into the ocean with a cracking sound. It was now or never. With a Herculean surge of strength…

With the help of Zeus, Lumi and Aubin had a girl whom they named Neve. Since the beginning, Zeus told Lumi and Aubin about how special Neve was. He warned them about her special power and how it was very important to control her. Since Neve was conceived with the help of a god, she was different; she wasn't like any other human living among her. She had a very special power: whenever she would feel any type of emotion it would start to snow. From the way the snow would fall from the sky to its…

The Black Ice Disaster “137 and back-up unit to central,” called the dispatcher. “Go ahead central,” I reluctantly relied. Oh no, this cannot be good I thought to myself. Not at this time of the morning. “137 and back-up unit respond to a 10-82 in progress at 1234 River Road.” “10-4 central, I am en route from Bellefield Road.” I had just pulled into my driveway from working and long and cold night shift. I was extremely tired and I just wanted to go to bed. I was planning to sit there in my…
