I could've wrote a funny poem, a funny story, or maybe even put a funny picture in here, but instead I decided to write something that actually means something to me, so it may be long, but I hope you'll stick through.
To whom it may concern,
I live on long island in new york, and ever since the first time I put skis on when I was three, I was hooked. It took about 7 years, however, to go skiing again, and this time I wanted to snowboard cause it was the cool thing to do. For the next three "seasons" (2 days) I snowboarded, and then finally in 2003 I switched to skiboards, and bought my
own pair. Of course right after I buy the skiboards, I learn that they were replaced by better performing twin tips, and I'm stuck with skiboards because I just dropped over $200.
Last year I went to winter park with my family for two days, and it was there when I first demoed a pair of twin tips. After a long day of skiing, I was dissapointed in finding out what I had been missing all of my years on snow. Skiing is what I am meant to do, and twin tips helped me to discover just how fun and creative skiing can be.
Unfortunately my parents wouldn't let me buy twin tips, because my skiboards were in great condition, and they just didn't understand. So last season I had to look ahead to this year, and dread having to use my skiboards.
This summer, however, my life was changed forever. On the way home from bringing my sister up to college, a man fired at our car, one bullet hitting my dad, and later killing him. Besides playing baseball, skiing was the thing that my dad and I both had a passion for, and when deciding between a carribean cruise, or a few days of skiing, we would always choose skiing.
The death of my dad has lead me to make the decision to finally look into buying a pair of twin tips, so I can once again feel the joy I had riding with my dad at winter park. The first time I went skiing this year, I took the first few runs by myself. Although alone, I felt more comfortable and at ease than I ever had skiing before. I couldn't see or hear him, but I could feel my dad skiing alongside me. Once I had realized what a great feeling skiing was bringing to me again, I knew I would need more days on the hill.
This winter I skied 4 more days than I ever have before, bringing my total to 6. 6 days of skiing, although very short, allowed me to go back to better times of being together with my family. 6 days I could really feel my dad's presence. 6 days is not enough.
As I come to realize my obsession for winter and skiing, I'm beginning to plan out my future and what other states, or even countries, this passion will bring me to. For now, however, I'm stuck in this topographically challenged town on Long Island which only allows me to get a few days of skiing each winter.
When I first found out about summer camps for skiing, I was
absolutely blown away. Never before had I even thought of skiing in the summer. Then watching the videos of the insane parks put together for these camps just blew my mind. I thought to myself "What do I have to do to get into one of these camps?" Then I saw the price, and the truth hit me
hard. I would have no chance of going.
With your help, however, I would hope that the few more days of skiing at a summer camp would once again bring me that feeling of closeness with my dad, and allow me to truly be with him again.
Thanks for sticking with me for the entire story, and thanks for giving me a site to go to everday and forget about everything except my true passion: skiing.

Here is my rap. Yo,Yo,Yo- I'm writin this rap cause i ski like crap, goin to camp would get me amped, teach me a trick so I don't look like a dick, Im gettin sick of Daffy's that look real crappy, so please send me to camp, it"ll make me happy.
Hey, I am writing this e-mail to you because I have come to face the facts. I suck at skiing. I mean Ive seen 5 year olds with more steeze than me. So thats my whole email- I know it will win 4 sure!
**************************
I want to go to SUMMER CAMP!
My reason's are simple:
The east simply didn't get enough snow and i only got to ski 2 days on the west. My hope is to be able to ski more this season in order to fulfill personal needs as well as get dope shots for Stept Productions movie and 4bi9. I havent had the opportunity to gather all the footage due to this weather condition as well as a fall I had mid season. Breaking my eye socket in a few spots, my sinus membrane wall and bruising my right heel bone has also set me back. Here are some pics that i took during my time off of my boys.... to keep me busy as well as a few pics from the overshoot at Waterville that caused my crash. Please let me get to summer camp! I want to
be in the pictures and learn learn learn, as well as take advantage of such a dope contest. Thanks thanks
**************************
Ok so why i think you should pick me is because i love to go skiing and i really have only heard good things about your summer camp and i wish to really progress and i really hope to go. Ive always wanted to go summer skiing but have never had enough $$ to go. SO PLEASE MAKE MY WISH COME TRUE!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!!
**************************
Ok. I really wanna go to the coc,
im 13 and cant work yet and my dad says he wont pay. i need at least 1.5k in order to go but itll be impossible for me to make that money for the coc this year. i wanna hit the "dance floor" box sooooooo bad and really want to improve my skillz. i think it would be sooooo sick to make a edit on the macs where i could get no hate from the peeps on ns. i just got the pamphlet thing in the mail and it looks like the most epic camp of all time!! and also it would be so sick to learn from pros because ive never taken a lesson in my life and really need some cuz i want to throw down harder.
so if you could hook KingTaco (my ns name) up with that free camp entry it would be super steezed
ps: my name is KingTaco because i love tacos and it would also be really sick if i could try some mexican food in the whistler area.
peace out
