Have you ever asked what happens in the winter season? There are multiple things that go on during this season including basketball, wrestling, snowboarding, and skiing. Snowboarding and skiing can be great ways to relax and have fun during the winter season. Most people in Penns Valley High School go to Tussey Mountain if they want to snowboard or ski but there are other mountains too. More mountains to go to for snowboarding and skiing in Pennsylvania include Blue Knob, Hidden Valley, Seven Springs, and Round Top Mountain. These mountains are also all a little bit bigger than Tussey Mountain if you wanted more slopes to ride.
Snowboarding and skiing can be awesome ways to get out and enjoy the snow but there are some differences between the two. Some people say that it is easier to learn at a beginner level on skis and harder on snowboards. They also say that it is harder to do more advanced tricks and maneuvers on skis than on snowboards.
Snowboarder Ethan Roland says “Snowboarding is something I do to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. Another thing that I like about snowboarding is the challenge and it makes me face my fears and find my limits.”
Skier Jarret Peters says “When you’re skiing you feel in the moment. Another thing about skiing is when you hit a jump it’s all you can think about.”
These two sports can be challenging at times but it is worth it to keep pushing through it.
