Warren Miller in one of his movies said "that moguls are like heartbeats, your knees only have so many of them". This may not be exact but close.

I have one.

"Life is not measured by the numbers of breaths we take, but by the ski runs that take our breath away."

Anybody else want to try?:lol:

DMC mentioned this in another thread and it made me remember the practice.

What are those thin cover sayings, D?

Grass doesn't grow on rocks.
The best meat is closest to the bone.

Or something like that....

When you scope out that gnarly line, repeat over and over-

"God hates a coward".

They made the mountain idiot proof...then another one came along.
Skiing is why they invented orthopedic surgery.
You want you're skis..go get em.

Yeah, Warren Miller.


That run is a lot steeper than it really is.

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

when in doubt, straighten 'em out.
Hattrup had a good one for bumps..."the key to skiing these things is to go till you panic...then back off."
almost forgot this one "whatza fucka is a chinese downhill"
