Skiing

Every year my family goes out to either Colorado or Utah. This has been a tradition for a while and trips that have made me be the skier I am today. Colorado has very beautiful scenery and makes skiing out there even better. As a young kid I was not a great skier, but once I went out west to ski, my uncle and dad could teach me better and give me the technique I have today. I remember I used to be really scared to go down some of the steep hills in Colorado, but now I am so used to it that I can just fly down the hill. When you feel like you’re in a rhythm when you ski, you feel like you can go down anything. I especially love going in the back country where no one goes. The powder is so deep and smooth and you feel like it is just you and the mountain. Also, you can make your own trail when you are out there. Then you can experience new things each time.

This weekend my family will be going out to Colorado to ski Keystone, Breckinridge, and Vail. We will also meet up with my dad’s brother and his kids and grandkids. I am very excited to go out there. The towns are just very unique and nothing like any place in Cincinnati. I wish I could just stay out there the whole winter and ski every day. Maybe someday that will happen!
