ISP Snowboarding trumps skiing Over the past few decades ski areas have been split between skiers and snowboarders. People who are looking to hit the slopes for the first time have a big decision to make: buy/rent skies or a snowboard? Given these two options, I believe that first timers should take up snowboarding instead of skiing. Snowboarding has a cooler and more interesting culture, snowboarding is more practical, and snowboarding has better style than skiing. For these reasons it would be in someone’s best interest to choose snowboarding over skiing. Snowboarding is cooler than skiing. Snowboarding comes from an amazing history of surfing and skateboarding. Cool people, both men and woman, shredding big waves, the roads and sidewalks…

coating everything around us. It took several trips to get all of our things up to our rooms, they were small and cheap with a dingy feel. We didn’t care for long though because my brother and i got the same room but my mother and father didn’t have to cram in with us. Later we decided to head to the skiing lodge at nine o'clock so we were told to get up when we need to to get ready in time. The next morning as i went outside after taking a shower and getting dressed my hair froze into icicles…

completing a course. So, when I was in middle school, I signed up for the ski team. Once every week, I was able to practice honing my skills and improve my time every practice. It become a part of my lifestyle. It taught me that improving myself will lead to success. Ski racing can best be defined as fast paced and competitive sport. Every time you go down a hill, you’re are focused on achieving the…

Ski patrols work in some of the most dangerous conditions faced by first responders. Not only do they face precarious snow conditions en route to emergencies; but they also must carry all their equipment on their backs and perform rescues in below freezing temperatures. Some patrollers are also trained to rescue individual’s off chairlifts if necessary. On top of the already difficult job of rescuing injured skiers, patrollers also monitor trail conditions, and provide skiers with opportunities…

Time Skiing When I reached the top of the ski lift, I hesitated. The “bunny hill” seemed more intimidating than its name. The ground and the ski lodge seemed miles away, tucked behind the pine trees, and the slope descended in twists and turns. Concerned, I turned to my mom. “So...do I just jump?” I knew how difficult it was to walk in the ski boots, and I could not imagine how to get off the moving chair. She shook her head, glancing at the couple in front of us. “No, it looks like you…

And also, secondly, how they do not necessarily use the information that they do have appropriately due to a lack of awareness of its relevance. Evidence can be found that the same points are true of the group of skiers in the Tunnel Creek Avalanche. Our first point considers how our focus can limit our awareness. We fail to see all the information in front of us. If we do not see or experience factors regularly, we stop looking out for them. Avalanches are a regular occurrence in Tunnel…

Introduction: Ski jumping is one of the competitive sports with the Olympian ideal of going faster, jumping further and leaping higher than the opposition (Muller 269). However, sometimes accidents happen. For example, Thomas Morgenstern crashed during a trial round for the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in Bad Mitterndorf. Later, he was hospitalized with skull injuries and a bruised lung (The Associated Press). Then, why did this accident happen? What influenced the performance of Morgenstern and…

Skiing is a great way to exercise, yet have fun. I ski because I like the feeling of going really fast down a steep snow covered hill and catching really big air. I like any type of skiing, downhill, cross country, even backcountry. I love the feeling I get when I am in the air for a long time. I also like the vibe that a ski resort gives off. There are the ski bums(that are there everyday), the crazy ski team kids that send it off anything, and the first timers, everyone is having fun. I like…

and taking the gondola. We opted for the latter one. Grindelwald is the final point (1034m) with the length of the 15 km. Our daily dose was approximately from 30 to 45 km, since we always returned to the hotel for our afternoon nap. On the penultimate day, we left the track in a completely worn out state, since we used it from 10 am to 6 pm. I have no idea how many kilometers we sledged through, but we certainly worked extra hours for our girl. Oh, and did I mention that Sage was running with…
