Snow = Skiing she 2 é iL a oan © ee ie Wh oe id ‘ be a . et a ort x ad NE ag It has been snowing for two weeks straight. You wake up early on a chilly Tuesday morning and face the irrevocable truth. You think, “| can’t go to class today. | haven’t skipped yet the whole term.’’ So you pack up your skis, boots, and other gear and with a gang of friends you drive over the icy roads to nearby Snowshoe Ski Resort, ha- zarding your health for a simple pleasure: skiing. You learn that there’s an accumu- lation of sixteen inches of new snow. You left after breakfast, so there’s no big crowd yet. As you board your chair in the ski lift, you remember the surprise you got your first time out skiing. The lift chair sneaked up behind you and smacked you in your unsuspecting rear and you sat down with a thud not knowing what hit you! The lift begins its steady climb and you admire the breathtaking view of the untouched snow, pure and white all around, covering slopes and trees like a blanket. You look down and are frightened as you can easily picture yourself falling out of your chair and plummeting through space. This feeling quickly passes, and your gaze wanders to the one solitary skiier trying out the beginner’s slope. You recall your first attempt on the run for beginners. By the end of the day you had mastered the snowplowing technique and were ready for more advanced slopes. . . not until you had your share of falls and bruises, though. You’ve arrived! Everything in place, you begin your confident de- scent of the hill. The flakes pro- duced by the snow machine are blown onto your face. It’s bitter cold, and your nose and cheeks are tingly and red in no time, yet you smile, exhilarated by the task before you. Side to side you go as you rush down the slope. You admire those who effortlessly fly straight down the path, but you prefer controlling your speed to get the most out of each run. The mist your skis create blinds you, but you know the path well enough to do it with your eyes shut. The glint of the sun on the fresh, white powder brightly shines caus- ing you to squint through your gog- gles. Finally you reach the foot of the hill breathless and satisfied that you were successful against the mountain. And you're ready to go again.
