Yet, only “0.15% of the total continent” (Pickering, 2009) regularly receives snow as a result of low attitude mountains. Consequently, the limited area of snow is not the only limiting agent to skiing seasons with growing concerns of climate change.

On top of all of these great features, there are many amazing trails to follow throughout the park. I took a great hike through the Ice Age Trail, the Kettle View Trail, and the Kame Terrace Trail. I really enjoyed my peaceful walk through creation and also appreciated how well labeled the trails were in comparison with the provided map at my entry to the park.

Alpine skiing is one type of sport in the Olympic. Specifically, racers who ski down slopes the fastest win. However, the competitors must go through events before ending at the finish line. Examples of the events consist of the salmon, a course that requires short tight turns, the giant slalom, widely spaced turns, and the SUPER-giant slalom, which has no turns and runs downhill. All slamons occur above sea level. Turning tight corners is challenging in the alpine skiing. The salmons get easier. Bobsleighing is another sport in the Olympics that relates to skiing. Additionally, athletes race down an icy track on a sled. The tracks ranges from 1,260 feet or above sloping down to 1,000 feet or below. Bobsledding requires control over the sleigh.

It is going to turn right, climbing to a rocky, wide path. The trail then ascends to the northwest side of the valley, cutting through spruce and aspen forest. The forest is not very dense, which means that there are numerous openings within the trees. These openings in the trees will allow you to view the rugged Pyramid Peaks that rise to the south. There is a natural dam that was created by an ancient rockslide that is about one mile from the start of the trail. This dam forms Crater Lake. Once you hit the top of this rockslide, you will enjoy wonderful views of Maroon

Although it is a bit of a trip to get there the Outback has some of the best skiing on the mountain. The Runs serviced by the Outback express lift are mostly Blacks, with a few Blues this deters the novice skiers from making the trek and gives the more advanced skiers shorter lift lines, and steep open runs to carve down, without the stress of slower skiers crowding the run. In addition to the fantastic cut runs, the Outback offers the best tree skiing on the mountain. The resort does a great job of maintaining the growth in this part of the mountain by cutting the smaller trees and trimming the larger ones this creates perfect tree skiing because of the added space between trees it allows the skiers to carry a bit more speed with confidence and cruise through the trees with ease. This peak also offers the best views on the mountain, you can even see Breckenridge from across the valley. My Personal favorite park about the Outback is the Cat-skiing. For a $5 fee, you can get a ride in a snow cat up above the lift serviced runs to the South Bowl. This is huge bowl is above the tree line gives you a unique experience to ski great snow so high up. There is even a possibility to find some untouched powder stash from the past snowstorms. We spent all day in the Outback and barely explored half of it

Back within the borders of Idaho, Lookout pass has also been luring the adventurous out to play since 1935. Our gang usually split up with the more bodacious going to Borderline and others who have a little more wussie in them head to Huckleberry Jam. You can guess which chairlift Uncle Boise is riding. I don't spend the whole day at Hucklberry, but it's a great way to get my skiers legs back under me. It has shorter downhill trails with basic features and smaller jumps.

I believe that every person should try snow skiing at least once. Snow skiing is a great activity with so many benefits, plus its really really fun! People of all ages can try it with the youngest person recorded being one year old. For me, skiing is the best sport out there and when I’m skiing it feels like I’m on another planet because everything is white from being covered with snow. Some days there is so much snow you can't even see in front of you. Those are the best days. It's such a great experience and I'll give you the motivators that keep me looking at the mountain peaks in July.
