Ski Bunny: "Otto, what would you do if you were coming down a steep narrow trail a little too fast and there were stumps and trees and ice and things--and things all around?"

Otto Schniebs: "Vell, either take the damned skis off und valk--or schtem--schtem like Hell!"[/size]

Ah heck, a couple more:

"In the end, to ski is to travel fast and free - free over untouched snow country. To be bound to one slope, even one mountain, by a lift may be convenient but it robs us of the greatest pleasure that skiing can give, that is to travel through the wide wintery country; to follow the lure of peaks which tempt on the horizon and to be alone for a few days or even hours in clear, mysterious surroundings."
---Hans Gmoser

"Speed is the thrill, control is the art."
---Otto Lang
