All of my projects in one place.

I stand at the top of a hill snaking out below me. From my vantage point I can see a massive landscape spread out below me. A river twists and turns through an evergreen forest. Around me however there is nothing. Just me the snow, the air and a sled. Taking a steadying breath I take a running start and jump. For a second it is pure exhilarating weightlessness until I come crashing back to earth in a painful fall. No time to contemplate this however as I speed along the glossy surface of the snow. Several times I come close to tipping over my head going inches from the ground. Gradually however I lose speed and come to a halt in the evergreen forest. Though I wish I could take another run I cannot. The skiers want their hill back.

  2. Fun, and descriptive. May want to restructure some of your sentences to eliminate a few of the I's and me's.
    It's best to stay away from using words too repetitively.

  3. Best to keep the skiers and sledders separate ... snowboarders too!
