...ime soon. The experience was worth every penny, and I will not hesitate to grab any chance I get to go back.

It discussed the types, the clothing, and signs, which are very important to discuss the basics of skiing. Each topic had subtopics that added to the quality of the speech to inform about a general overview of skiing. The main ideas were distinguished because each topic had a different sign or notecard to follow a new thought. Each topic related to each other as it started with knowing where to start skiing, to what you would wear, and finished with how to follow signs down a mountain. This was only understood if the topics were thought about, but it was an easy outline for the speech as it was how a skier would decide what to bring on a trip.

Thin air encompasses me as I commence the final day of skiing at Vail, Colorado. Seven days of skiing elapse rather painlessly; I fall occasionally but an evening in the Jacuzzi soothes my minor aches. Closing time approaches on the final day of our trip as I prepare myself for the final run of the vacation. Fresh off the ski lift, I coast toward the junction of trails on the unoccupied expert face of the mountain. After a moment of thought, I confidently select a narrow trail so steep that only the entrance can be seen from my viewpoint.
The mountain stands a staggering 14,692 feet high, But you don't really understand how high that is until you take the first of three lifts up the mountain. You couldn't start up the mountain until 9 am, the first lift Is a cable car, that is so far from the ground you automatically hold onto something, and in no time the people and buildings shrink from your view. The wind begins to howl, and the anticipation begins to build. When you look down at the tree tops and out into the valley, it's breathtaking.
