Descending Through the Hills
By Max

1

Upon the rugged trails, I ride like the wind,
Through the rocky paths and winding dusty roads,
My heart races as I am wild and free,
With every uphill climb, my body flexes, yet upon descent my heart races.

The thrill of jumps and drops that make me soar,
My body is strong and tireless, never idle,

The mountains are my playground, rough and big,
My trusty bike, my mountain companion,
We bond together hands to handlebars to tackle the terrain

My mind is at peace and seeking more,

So let the world below me fade away.

Free Rider
By Max

2

Riding through the mountains,
Heart pumping, adrenaline flowing,
The wind in my face,
My bike and I becoming one.

Through rocky terrain,
Over obstacles,
I push myself harder,
Going faster,

Feeling alive.

The rush of the descent,
The thrill of the climb,
I am free,

In this wild and untamed place.
My bike, my trusty steel horse,

Blazing with me through the wilderness,
Together we conquer,

Nature's thrill unfolds,
Heartbeats in sync with wheels,
Mountain trail ahead.

“Importance of Snowboard Health” 
By Stone

Loading...

Snowboarding is an excellent full-body workout
Never stuck without adrenaline
Outdoors in nature is a great way to free the mind
Weight balance becomes less of an issue
Brightens your mind for the whole day 
Overall fitness is improved 
Adrenaline rush
Reminds your body to stay active
Decreases the risk of depression and anxiety

“Natures Eye as your Guide”
By Stone

Exploring the wild with nature's eye
Gliding through the powder with many sights in ones eye  
Through big alpines and steep mountains 
The snowboarder's journey is an extraordinary find.  

Through the snowy tree tops and mountain highs,
The snowboard is what I ride 
Exploring the wild left and right 
Lucky to have nature as my guide.  

I ride through the winter wonderland
Thanking the creators of the land 
With every turn and jump 
I see the creatures who fly.  

With everything you see 
Ones eye may not hide 
So many animals that are still yet to find 
The fulfillment of nature is never left behind.

“Life in the Mountains”
By Stone

Life on the mountain can be an expression 
So fresh and so bright it will bring you your life 
Carving down the slopes gives a thrill unimaginable 
With snowflakes falling my heart is here to stay. 

The snow at your feet gives the feeling of freedom 
Just the snow makes everything disappear 
No stress, just the present to live in 
Life on the mountain can teach you to live,
To let go of any fear, to ride, and to witness all the beauty mother nature provides 
Life on the mountain, where who you are is found.  

SKIING

7

By Alex

Slipping and sliding through the snow 
Keeping balance as I go 
Into the unexplored unknown, 
I dare Inhale the crisp mountain air 
Never stopping, always driving
Glorious freedom, simply surviving.

White powder

By Alex

White powder flies as I carve my way, 
Through mountain trails that wind and slope, 
My skis they glide with effortless sway, 
As I become one with the slope.

The frigid air, it bites my face, 
But in my heart, a fire burns bright,
 The thrill of speed, it sets my pace,
 And all my fears, they take their flight.

The snow-capped peaks, they tower high,
 Their beauty takes my breath away,
 The sun it shines, the sky is nigh,
 And all the world is new and gay.

With every run, my soul takes flight,
 And I am lost in pure delight.

Winter

By Alex

Upon the snowy slopes I glide with grace, 
With skis beneath my feet and wind in face.
The crisp, cold air, a bracing, welcome shock, 
As down the mountain I embark upon my trek.

With every turn, a symphony unfolds, 
The crunch of snow, the rush of air so bold. 
The world around me, nothing but pure white, 
A blanket of serenity, a peaceful sight.
The sun, a brilliant orb upon the sky,
 Illuminates the landscape, pure and high. 
And in that moment, all my worries cease,
As I am one with nature, at perfect peace.

But as my journey comes to its end, 
I long to ski again, and do it all again.
