Ski touring

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.

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. The mountain feels as if it is my second home, when

Do you really know how dangerous climbing Mt. Everest is? Mt. Everest is the tallest mountain in the world and only professional climbers can climb it. Only a few people know about the real dangers of Mt. Everest, from the slippery slopes, slick ice, thin air, and deep crevices. 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

I couldn't believe that we had missed the one turn were told to take. It was -5 degrees on Sunday River, one of the largest ski resorts in Maine, The website seid that most of the snow was covered with ice, not the best conditions but by all means not the worst. My friend Ben and I were skiing for the first time on Sunday River. We were told that as long as we took the turn on the Snowbound trail, we would end up at the lodge that our parents would be in, But no matter how many times we kept saying

Ski or Flee? It was a beautiful sunny afternoon on Lake Roaming Rock in Roaming Shores, Ohio in the year 2010.  The lake was smooth, and I could see my reflection in the water.  It was about 85 degrees outside today, and the only thing I wanted to do was attempt to water ski.  It was the week after 4th of July, so there weren’t nearly as many people here as there were the last time.  I had seen people gliding across the water on a daily basis here on the lake, and they made it look easy.  I figured
