By Sierra Westing
For The Cordova Times
There are lots of sounds that please me but nothing more than the sounds of the Ski Hill. The “Buzzzzzing” of the chair lift sliding across its wire along with the "Whoosh" of a jump landed on an extreme powder day with a clack of poles Accompanying it at the end. Ahhhhhhhhhh! The beautiful sounds of the Ski Hill.
