My favorite winter sport

My favorite winter sport is inner tubing. The reason why inner tubing is my favorite winter sport is because I like the feel of the winter air hitting my face when I go either down the slopes or down my own backyard. Another reason why inner tubing is my favorite winter sport is because I like to see, and feel the snow flying past me or hitting my face from the person tubing in front of me. This is the reason why Inner tubing is my favorite winter sport.

My favorite winter sport is ice skating. I like watching others skate. I have never skated before. I want to ice skate soon. It sounds fun.
The sports of winter

My favorite sports for winter are snowball fights. I hate it when people throw them too hard and they hit your face. The best part is building snowball forts. I hate it when the snow is soft and it can’t harden into snowballs. These are my favorite winter sports.

I love to have snowball fights. It’s just so fun. The reason I like snowball fights because it’s just like dodgeball and just trust me dodgeball is so fun. So that is why I like snowball fighting so much.

My favorite winter sport is tubbing. I like when you are on the top of the hill and are ready to fly down. I put soap on the bottom of my tube to go down faster. I love the feeling of the cold air stinging my face as I fly down the hill. This is my favorite winter sport.

My favorite winter sport is snow ball fighting. It is so much fun. You get to dress really warm and wear gloves. You get to pick up snow and put it in a ball shape. Then you throw it at someone. You could only have two people or you could have a lot and have a big battle. After you are out there for a while you get really cold; your toes and fingers start to be really cold and they go numb, but over all, it’s fun.

My favorite winter sport is snowboarding. The reason I like snowboarding is because you get to go down big hills. The other reason is I don’t need any help. The next reason is because I could go by myself and not get hurt. The final reason I like snowboarding is my whole family can snowboard, too, but when I do need help, my mom helps me.
Skiing
Emily Dillon

I love to snow ski. It is fun to go down a hill and feel the wind in your face. I go to Seven Springs a couple times in the winter. I just started, so I’m not very good. When you go skiing you have to bundle up tight. I wear warm pajamas, regular clothes, ski pants, a big coat, goggles, a hat, scarf, ski shoes, poles and skis. I learned to ski without poles, but I can still use them. Skiing is hard sometimes. It depends on what part of the mountain you are going down. My favorite winter sport is skiing.
