Some truth to this one...

"There's many old skiers....and many bold skiers.....
But there aren't many old bold skiers."

Overheard quote from a fairly old (I'd guess 60ish) guy on the shuttle at Stowe after being asked if he was racing today:

"The only gates I run have bark on em."

Take time to chase the snowflakes.
Home is where the snow falls.
Closed for the season! Reason? Freezin!
The wonder of a single snowflake outweighs the wisdom of a million meteorologists.
There's no business like snow business.
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk while it's still snowing

I thought I heard this one about pilots back when I was spending money flying small airplanes...I'd agree that it applies just as well to skiing.

Here's a Warren Miller quote that I can relate to:

"Once you take that first lift ride, your life will be messed up forever."

I like,
"When the driving gets bad it usualy means the skiing is good" ! :beer:

Dan Egan

signed a poster for me at a ski fest thing about 12 years ago with:

"It's never too steep in the air"

Oh, almost forgot Scot Schmidt's classic....

....riding a train in Europe in a Stumpy movie (forget which one, they all kinda blend together, but I think Blizzard or License) where he uttered a few choice words, which caused a mini-furor and some flak.....

"People in America who sue ski areas should be shot".

I don't believe his intent was for the words to be taken literally....

Ski Poles

Regarding Ski Poles: “…I see one fundamental difference between the Europeans and the Americans here. I suppose it's because your lift lines are so blissfully organized and polite - the main reason for ski poles in Europe is to hit rude little kids over the head when they cut in line - that's why all the kids wear helmets, … “

Seen on the t-shirt of a truly hot woman at the Bridgetender in Tahoe City:

"Just because I slept with you last night doesn't mean I'll ski with you today."
