Skiing is a Culture...

Skiing is not just a sport, it has Culture its self. It has everything that makes a culture. I have been skiing for a long time and start to recognize I become one of those people. Here are some examples of what skiing culture is like.....

Has it own fashion, everyone wear something heavy and warm. Even they have different bold and colorful coats and pants to match skiers personality. Just like other cultures for instance, European wear tight pants and high maintains clothing, Indian wear choli, American wear causal clothes, tuxedos and dress for fancy events.

(Those people give u a idea what fashion is like these days!)

They have own dancing moves, which they dance on the mountains. Skiing is concerning as dancing because you make a rhythm down the hill. I had to make my own rhythm and it makes me feel like I was dancing because my hips and feet were moving. It was just a amazing feeling!

(Those swirls on the snow are example of rhythms made by different skiers)

Each skiing resort has their own traditions that skiers enjoy celebrating. For instance at Copper Mountain, Colorado where I tend to ski at, they have tradition every year by having "En Fuego" (In Spanish, it means an epic night.), which happens during Christmas holidays. They have torchlight parade, entertainments, toast s’mores and warm fingers over bonfires, as fireworks light the sky above you.

They have their own music by hosting concert "Sunsation". They hires bunch of good singers and bands to come and play. Even thousand of locals and people who loves Copper Mountain comes, even people from out state!

Nightlife is another part of this culture, after a long day on the Mountain, we would get together and have good times at a local clubs. They have good foods, drinks, and music. At Copper they have awesome nightlife that I enjoy.
-JJ's Rocky Mountain Tavern - Moe Dixon, a longtime favorite entertainer, always get people dancing on the tables.
-Edno's Adrenaline Cafe- a neat sport kind of pub.
-The Green Fairy Bar- this place has DJ, sofas where you can lounge, and huge dancing floor. This is where we go before we leave Copper. One of my FAVORITES!! :-)

(Us dancing at The Green Fairy, so much fun!)

God is amazing about this culture because he created the mountain, snow, sun, trees, and humans to make a wonderful peaceful culture like this at Copper Mountain, Colorado. I thank God he guided me to this world because I realized more who he is by recognizing what he has created while I am skiing on the Mountain. <><(Taken at Resolution Bowl at Copper Mountain)

Hope you find skiing interesting and want to find out more about it!
