What are your Favorite ski quotes?

Charles De Mar, ski instructor extraordinaire: "Go that way, really fast; if something gets in your way . . . turn. "

Yugi (European poster on Telemarque and telemark tips): "All snow is good snow and all skis are rock skis."

"'Telemark' is Norwegian for 'face plant'."
-Nick DeVore

I think that's my new favorite.

here's another

"A snowboarder without a girlfriend is called homeless"

or

“Snowboarding was better when everyone hated us!”

An especially good quote for TAY,...

In the backcountry, you start out with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of tricks. The goal, is to fill the bag of tricks before the bag of luck runs out. -



Quoted from a poster off teletips named "risk.reduction"

"I love big dumps."

(sig line from someone on this site, I forget who.)

"If this range in its present unexplored (winter) state were set down in the middle of Europe the people would go wild with joy. The Alps have been criss-crossed with ski trails from end to end for lo! these many years. Here we have made only a very small beginning--and so few skiers in this region realize that they have been born into a time and situation that will make them the envy of the future..."

-- Charles D. Hessey, Jr. on skiing Cascade wilderness, 1948
