For seven year-old Olivia Santee, it was her first time competing on a full size horse.
In the late 1970's and early 1980's, Vermont was home to the first established snowboard competition in the world the National Races at Suicide Six in Pomfrey, VT. A concentrated interest in this sport eventually spawned the US Open, the world's first renowned snowboard competition.

Elaine was proudly coached by Peter Burrows and Marylynn Gelderman throughout her amateur and professional career. She was one of the first woman to land many triple jumps in her programs. In fact, Elaine landed six triple jumps to win the world championship title in 1982(Ryan, Joan). In addition, Zayak was apart of the first trip to China by American Skaters for a competition. There was a Zayak rule, inacted at the 1982 ISU Congress, which states that many not perform the same kind of jump more than twice, and for it to be given full credit on both occasions, one of the two triples must be incorporated into a combination or sequence(Farris, JoAnn Schneider).
In Alaska I’d put up a hairy new route on the Mooses Tooth, and pulled off a solo ascent of the Devils Thumb that involved spending three weeks alone on a remote ice cap. I’d done a number of fairly extreme ice climbs in Canada and Colorado” (27-28). b. Krakauer has had lots of previous experiences climbing mountains. One thing I got confused with in this story is the excess amount of mountaineering terms throughout.

The Telemark turn came to the attention of the Norwegian public in 1868, when Sondre Norheim took part in a ski jumping competition. Norheim's technique of fluid turns soon dominated skiing, and in Norway it continued to do well into the next century. [2] Starting in the 1910s, newer techniques based on the stem gradually replaced Telemark in the Alpine countries. Newer techniques were easier to master and enabled shorter turns better suited for steeper alpine terrain and skiing downhill. The Telemark turn became the technique of ski touring in rolling terrain.
