Skiing Essay

It was a cold day in January and the snow was falling hard. My family had plans to go skiing with my friend Andrew, but then my mom looked out the window. She said “Look at the snow out there. I can barely see the barn!” She began to think we should cancel our plans. My siblings and I begged her to not cancel our skiing plans. Eventually she decided we could risk going despite the weather. I had only been skiing once before, so as we pulled into the parking lot I started getting nervous. We got our

Picture a world when everyone snowboarded. Would not that be much better. Snowboarding is way better than skiing for many reasons. Like how much easier it is to do tricks. Or if you plan on going down a hill it's easier to go faster. Plus off the hill, it feels better on your feet. “Skiing is easier to learn but, harder to master - whereas snowboarding is harder to learn but easier to master.” Let's start with one example, Tricks. There are so many more tricks you can do on a snowboard than

One year during spring break my family went on a ski trip to the snow bowl in Flagstaff and had never skied before. I regret trying to ski without help because in the end, I was injured. The entire trip was great, from the hour line to get equipment, the hundreds of people in your way; that also happen to be clueless and not knowing how to ski⸮ It was near the end of the season and the “Bunny Hills” were closed because near the end of the season the snow below the mountains begins to melt. That meant

When I was six years old, I loved skiing as fast as I could down a mountain. My mother encouraged me to pursue skiing because I was pigeon-toed, and she felt parallel skiing would help correct my condition. Though my mother passed away when I was nine, I continued to practice parallel skiing until I was fourteen, when I finally mastered it. The happiness I felt after overcoming my physical challenge has inspired me as both a skier and a student. When I first began at the University of San Diego

A few winters ago, my family and I were invited to go snow skiing in southern Indiana. I had never gone snow skiing and was very excited about the idea. Our first morning on the slopes was a new experience, renting all the gear and making decisions about whether or not to take lessons or go it alone. We decided to be adventurous and go it alone—no lessons. Kent, the friend who invited us, was an avid skier and snowboarder. He assured us that he could show us the basic, and we would be on our way

letter. I really enjoyed reading it and the way you wrote it, someday you will have to tell me how. I haven’t talked to you lately so here I will right what I’ve been up to. My life mostly contains swimming, Skiing, and just lying around. Almost twice a week me and my friend like to go out skiing. Usually we do the tricks and stunts area. A lot of time we fall and get hurt, yet we keep trying again and again. Sometimes when it’s really cold we go inside the building and warm up. One in a while we ski

choose skiing. Skiing for me is more than a sport or hobby. It is an escape. It relaxes, calms and creates an environment that is unlike any other. That feeling of speed as the wind hits my face is so thrilling. I started skiing when I was just five. I started taking lessons and really learning the basics when I was seven. When I first started skiing I did not enjoy it at all. I was cold, tired and did not like falling down. After many lessons and skiing on my own, I started to enjoy skiing more.

I woke up and was excited to go skiing with Porter and Brigham and Cannon. We were in Utah going to go to Snow Basin. The night before, we skied a lot and did rails. I had a ton of fun and got ready really early so we could ski longer. We drove to the resort and got our stuff out. We went on a run before Logan, Landon and Luke got there. It was very icy and scary to ski, so I took it slow the first run. When we got to the bottom, we caught up with Logan, Landon and Luke. We all rode up in a gondola

Helmets: Life or Liberty? Snow boarding and snow skiing are two of the most enjoyed recreational sports in the world today. They give a unique sense of freedom and satisfaction that is unlike any other sport can offer. Rob Reichenfeld remarked after his first lesson, “When you’re onto a good thing you stick with it, and like millions around the world I had discovered something undefinably special” (2). The freedom to carve down an entire mountain as fast or as slowly as desired, to drop off a twenty-foot
