It was about 8 o'clock in the evening on a Friday night, I was on my phone watching Netflix and then I receive a text message from my good friend Nick, a tall dude with crazy hair, usually wearing basketball shorts and always having a preposterous look on his face, in a good way of course. He asked me if I wanted to go skiing tomorrow with him and a couple others. and of course I said yes. Later that night I was picked up in Nick's car and I spent the night at his house. I just woke up from my alarm and I was excited to go skiing. Nick of course was still asleep on the bottom bunk of his bed. I jumped over the rail from the top of the bed and slammed my feet onto the bottom of his bed and that’s finally when he woke up. We packed all of our …show more content…
We grab our gear out of the trunk of the Jeep and head to the Chairlifts. After clicking in my boots to the Skis, we go stand in line for the Chairlifts. The line moves fairly quickly and before I knew it I was getting scooped by the Chairlift and going up the beautiful mountainside. Everything was covered in snow from the cold hard ground to the stunning white Pine and Aspen trees. After a little we came to the summit of Loveland Ski Area. It was a constant blizzard and wasn’t the most comfortable to be up there. The chilling of the wind alongside the snow made it feel like the snow was piercing my skin with tiny white needles. Nick and I decided to bomb the hill for a little to get used to skiing again. It didn’t take very long to get used to it again but by the time we did, we already went quite aways down the …show more content…
They were a little frustrated with us for going so far ahead and not know where we went but realized that were teenagers and are eager to go skiing. We went together for the rest of the way until the next chairlift. After a while they let us go ski by ourselves until lunch. We went back up the mountain about a third
This part of the run is not difficult for me, which is good because my mind is already focused on the cliff that I know is about 100 feet down the ridge and 50 feet on my left (north). Waiting for my turn at the top, I had lots of time to sit and think about what I was about to do, igniting my nerves and adrenaline, making my body feel numb. I ski to my spot above the cliff, and the iconic House Rock looks like it always does, almost like a fifty foot diving board that will shoot you out half-way down the rest of the mountain. I stop right above the point of no return. I must choose to hit the cliff or not. There is no turning back once I move from this spot.
Lane Community College has an opportunity to promote voting in Oregon when approximately a quarter of eligible folks in the state are unregistered. By adding a voter registration function to Lane Community College registrations, physical places to pick up voter registration cards, and providing links to official Oregon state voting information LCC will support students. And, not only will more students participate in elections throughout the state, they will also have funds and time reallocated to campus-specific campaigns that were previously spent on student organization voter registration efforts.
It was Sunday afternoon it was warm and nice out and you could smell the flowers. The trees finally getting their colour back after the long winter. I had just gone and gotten ice cream for my family at Dream Hut. We lived right across from the street so it was easy just to walk over. After I dropped the ice cream off I was walking towards Evin’s house but they decided that they wanted to go get ice cream too. So we were walking back and Evin kept complaining about how my shirt wasn’t school appropriate and that I needed to put a hoodie on. It got to the point where I gave Frank my bag and put his hoodie on and looked at Evin while raising my eyebrows at him. He just smiled back and said, “Thank you very much.” I sighed and walked
We left at about 9 o’clock, and were riding around for maybe about a couple hours or so. Then we decided that we were cold and tired and we wanted to go back to Hannah’s. Then we realized that we didn’t quite know how to get back home, because we were lost. Now we had to figure out what to do.
The mountains were tall (11,000 feet +) and covered with bright powdery snow. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. I was eager to set-up camp and prepare for our nine day hunt. But, Dad said that we had to drive around and check out all the good places, just to make sure that we were in
Every year, my family goes skiing. Our favorite place, by far, is Telluride. The drive into town is windy, steep, and can get pretty scary. While snow pelts the windshield and the wind makes the car swerve slightly, one may wonder whether the journey into town is worth it. But it so is. I’ve never seen something so breathtaking as when we crossed over that final
It is located in Bozeman, Montana. About 97 miles outside of Helena; Montana’s capital. With a beautiful landscape of their stunning mountains, I believe that that’s one of their many attractions.
Metro West Learning Academy has been a positive experience for me. It has benefited me in many ways. Metro has helped me handle stress by alleviating it. At first I didn’t want to come to Metro. I was worried about leaving all of my friends but I made some here. And the teachers here have also made it better because of how individualized the program is.
I recently moved to Leesville, Louisiana from Park City, Utah. The college I was attending in Utah, Salt Lake Community College (SLCC), has a much different campus environment than the Northwestern State University (NSU) campus at Leesville. The average enrolled student body of SLCC is around 60,000 each semester. This semester, there are currently 248 students attending the Leesville NSU campus. That’s a big difference.
When it comes to school projects, not everyone can come and work together after school
Fly ash, a by-product of coal, was the primary source for a catastrophic event that caused an community to be uprooted from their way of life. Amongst the things that were destroyed were homes, water sources, farmlands, trees, and roads. Optimistically, the community hope that Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) would buy their property — as their land was now useless. Unfortunately, often cases like this have to occur before opportunities for improvement are stimulated.
About ten minutes passed and we finally seen them so my mom bought us all the kids a water each everyone had a hard time biking with the water but Ethan and I had a cinch sack to hold our phones helmets and waters and hats so we had started to speed on our bikes back to the more popular part of the island near the almost done part of our legs felt as hot as the sun but I had an idea to take the pain off our minds by turning it into a mini competition Olympics and racing to the Trading Post shop so we did we seen some parts of the island we have never seen before such as a school and a fishing dock and another thing
The world is embracing globalism, which is a key change in not only the political and cultural paradigms of the business world, but the economic structure. Indeed, as the process and potential of globalism increases in the 21st century, several different fiscal and legal issues have developed that assist organizations in developing standards that will allow an easier approach to global business (Godfrey & Chalmers (eds.) 2007). However, as we have seen with companies like Enron, the use of accounting data can be at the heart of fraud and public confidence and trust, thus standards must be developed as companies consistently move towards global business opportunities (Inkpen & Ramawamy, 2006).
Once we finally arrived at the resort we were surrounded by cool chilly air and snow, we had an amazing view of the mountains and crisp green pine trees all around us, which was breathtaking. This was also a great opportunity for me to take as many pictures as I could of the amazing mountains around me. Thankfully that day there were no harsh winds and the slopes were not icy yet since this was towards the end of March. In order to get our tickets and find our instructor we had to enter this cabin like building; the bottom floor was where we picked up our tickets and tried on boots, the upstairs they had a dining area where they had delicious hot dogs and cookies.
To commence, the effects of global warming to the human body and vigor are both indirect and direct. Through the warming of the earth, extreme meteorological conditions and patterns will ensue with more regularity; storms, inundations, heat waves, and droughts will proliferate and will affect human condition directly in such manner that destroys homes, contaminates water sources, and diminishes food resources. These events will consequently entail a high risk of disease and exposure to disease. Persons with pulmonary complications and conditions, such as asthma and allergies, are at peril for other hazards. As air quality steadily worsens due to the burning of fossil fuels and carbon emissions, people with existing conditions of asthma could experience more asthma attacks and further aggravation of the lungs. Rising temperatures and higher concentrations of carbon dioxide will also stimulate plants to mature earlier, grow faster, and produce pollens that are more potent, worsening conditions of allergies of people around the world. Since allergy related diseases rank among the highest chronic illnesses in the United States, productivity levels will likely diminish as a result. However, cutting carbon emissions and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere of the Earth could improve air quality, and as a result, improving pulmonary conditions of million.
