As I watch‚ the waves from the shore look fun and almost innocent as they crest and then crash over one another. I can taste the salt in the air and watch little rainbows glisten through the prisms of the ocean’s spray. The warm ocean water toward the shore is covered with foam and bubbles from the rumbling waves. As children and their families play in the gritty tan colored sand‚ I think to myself‚ “This is perfect.” I make the final preparations on my jet ski. All of the fluid levels check

Skiing was not my forte or my favorite activity to do. My emotions were enraged at the way I tumbled down the slope. My body ached by falling and tumbling through the freezing cold snow and ice. Home sounded so marvelous right now‚ anywhere but here‚ my confidence had hit rock bottom. My face red and frozen from sobbing. I concluded that there was some other way down‚ nevertheless there wasn’t. It was a gorgeous day about five years ago. My family and I had left to Sugar mountain to practice skiing

Winter storms don’t glide in gently on puffy white cumulous clouds‚ they barrel across the mountains like runaway freight trains‚ full of noise and bluster‚ prodded by the restless wind. Ski resorts don’t like to talk about wind–or storms in general—because it scares away the tourists‚ who somehow forget that winter is messy‚ cold‚ and wild‚ as if snow were laid down softly each night like a blanket over a sleeping baby.

everything I could but it wouldn’t work. Crash! Bang! I fell on the hard snow so I wouldn’t crash into the net. It was a Sunday morning in Russell Manitoba‚ where we decided to go to Asessippi. My brothers were so excited‚ as was I. Snowboarding and skiing are something that we have never done before. I was nervous because I had no idea how to downhill ski‚ and I wasn’t taking any lessons. My mom thought she could teach me. My brothers were snowboarding as I have a cousin that teaches at Asessippi.
