Russians, and Altay Mountain folk that were using some form of skis to travel vast distances and hunt; thus skiing was a way of survival. It wasn’t until about the 1860’s that Americans in Sierra Nevada started to use skis to race and have fun. After that, well the rest is history- skiing is now a significant leisure activity around the world. However, there are important points in the history of skiing that made a considerable difference in the ski world we know today. It is still being debated where skiing

However, there is a group of people who thrive during these frozen winter months. They are known as skiers. The dictionary definition of downhill , or alpine, skiing is simply “the sport or recreation of sliding down snow-covered hills on skis with fixed-heel bindings.” Does that do skiers justice? As a dedicated skier, I think that definition is insulting. There is so much more to skiing than just standing on some pieces of metal and plastic. Some people think of skiers as bums who like taking risks

There I was doing 65 mph, I was behind my dad going straight when we came to a smooth curve I pulled in my brake a tad bit letting off the gas dropping down to about 50mph when I went off the edge and at that moment fear took over me not knowing if I was going to get hurt or go on the adventure of a lifetime! There I was running home happier than I ever was before it was going to be the first day got to go on a snowmobile trip! I burst thru the front door of my house ran up to my bedroom and got

Casey Moss; it had taken me two years just to remember that name. Casey’s bright and bubbly personality is really hard to forget, but it did take me two years after I met her just to remember her name. The first time I met my best friend Casey was the beginning of sophomore year at El Capitan High School. Both of us had history class together with Mrs.Crooks. One day, Mrs.Crooks gave an assignment that involved each student to pair up with another student. Back then I did not know a single person

are warm and snug in the crafted italian boots, with my skis supporting me on the snow; all the worries of high school and its dysfunctionality are behind me. Strolling through the dark tunnels of high school I walk with a defined strut as if trying to impress my peers. It’s in these halls where I feel the anxiety of the world crashing down on me, but up on the fluffy, white, powdered slopes all of that anxiety is gone; it’s just me and my skis.

Climbers do not have much stamina to climb the mountain, so they need to train for years and years just to climb one mountain. Climbers from 13 to 73 years old have climbed the mountain, but not all have come down. People

I’m soaring in the sky with the view of pure white mountains below with trees and small bodies of water surrounding the large rocks, I have my landing destination spotted in the distances, a spruce tree, but it will take me over an hour to arrive. I calculated the time it would take me to arrive at my shelter, but the wind is pushing me more and more southwest, making it extremely difficult to know how much time I will have before sundown once I land. With the temperatures at Glacier National Park

try to make it up there just about every weekend in the winter time. Other than resorts way up north in states like Vermont, Snowshoe is one of the best in the east coast. Although I do believe that Snowshoe is great, if you haven’t been out west to ski, then you haven’t really been skiing. For years I have just gotten to hear stories of how awesome the mountains and snow were in the west. I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to go out and see it for myself until my friend invited me
