"Exactly one day in your life your kid will ski as good as you do. The next day, he'll ski better than you."
"If I ask anybody who learned to ski after the age of five, they can remember their first day of skiing-what the weather was like, who they went with, what they had for lunch. I believe that's because that first day on skis was the first day of total freedom in their life."

"Most people work fifty weeks a year so they can do this the other 2. Well the smart ones live in a ski resort, where the boss lets them have powder snow days off. And almost forty feet of snow falls every winter thats a lot of days off. A lot of doing what you moved here to do. Most major ski resorts are now so big that regardles of what kind ofjob you have in a city there's probably a job almost exactly like yours in a ski rsort like this. So quit your job and rent that U-haul trailer now so next winter this can be you. Not you just sitting there watching this and wishing that this was you."
"If you don't do it this year, you'll just be one year older when you do."
"A pair of skis are the ultimate transformation to freedom"
"Adventure is the invitation to common people to become uncommon."
"Gravity is love and every turn is a leap of faith."
