The entire base of the skate ski is a glide zone for the ski to move smoothly and continuously in snow. Because of the stiffness of the camber the skate ski has less flexibility than the classic ski. To determine the ski fit for skate skis it requires a different test than classic skis. If the skate skis does not have enough camber, then the

We continued to ski still having faith to find the long lost souls and after about ten minutes we happened to run into them at the top of the hill! Everyone was overjoyed and relieved to have found each other. We all concurred to go down a green circle for the benefit

The wind slams into me, and I desperately grip my ice axes to keep from being ripped off the mountain face. I push my head against the snow, calm myself, and look down. Beneath my crampons is a 5,000-foot drop. It’s like looking down from the open door of an airplane. I am roped to my two companions, with nothing attaching us to the mountain. A fall here would send all three of us plummeting to our death. When the wind subsides, I pound an aluminum stake into the snow and clip the rope to it. It

On Sunday, January 10th, over twenty Spartans hit the slopes of Winter Park to for Ski Club’s first trip of the year.

The brisk, cold mountain air wakes me up as I step outside in all of my ski gear. As I pack my stuff into the car, I do a mental checklist to make sure I have my skis, skins, my poles, and of course I can’t forget about the dog. It’s a nice windy, icy road to the trail head. I traverse up the mountain following my friend’s tracks. “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming” from the Disney movie, Nemo, plays in my head reminding me to just keep moving forward. Even if it is super hard sometimes,

“I will die from the boredom of sitting on a ski lift alone.” Cory thought to himself. The slow ski lift goes right above a steep slope. It was silent except for the occasional sounds of skiers zooming past. Cold winds were pressed against his face and made him shiver. “It must be -7 degrees or lower,” Cory said to himself, against the blowing wind. His fingers were numb from the cold so he had to squeeze his hands into a ball. Finally, he reached the top of the mountain. In front of the lift operating

“Butterflies in your stomach, wind ripping at your coat, eyes closed, praying you don’t die as you point your skis down the mountain” says dad as he describes what our first day will be like while we travel the sixteen hour drive to Winter Park, Colorado. Most of this drive is dull, all we see is flat Kansas and its huge windmills, until we hit Denver. Then our eyes light up, hearts beat faster and we can’t breath as we gaze upon the mountain tops. We wind up those beautiful mountains, and our anticipation
