Skiing Quotations

Skiing takes so much out of me, and when I start a family, I want to do it 100%.

Sometimes it's all about the win, sometimes it's about the skiing.

It's incredible in our sport how small the differences are, and we are all aware of that. We're all on a high level and skiing well, and at the end, it's just hundredths that count. Maybe it's just one finger or a hand can change the color of a medal.

I'm still having fun and as long as skiing is enjoyable, I'm going to continue to do it.

I discovered Boulder not through cycling but skiing. I was recruited by the university for the ski team, and in my opinion, it's the best place for skiing - you have this super-light, fluffy champagne snow.

I don't want to leave skiing early. I want to feel like I've done everything I can do.

Skiing is better than sex actually, because for me a good round of sex might be seven minutes. Skiing you can do for seven hours.

If we admit it or not, skiing is a little bit of show biz

Skiing not only for yourself and your family, but for your country, was surreal. The amount of support I got from back home in Indiana was insane.

I have a project at HBO and one at the Family Channel coming that are being looked at. Aside from that I am not doing much more than playing golf and some skiing.

I don't know if it's just me or everyone, but the whole vibe with skiing is not so much thriving on competition against others as it is against myself and the clock.

I'm looking forward to free skiing the most. Just groomers, big wide groomers making nice big turns.

I don't like bungee jumping, but I do like skiing.

I always channeled what I felt emotionally into skiing - my insecurities, my anger, my disappointment. Skiing was always my outlet, and it worked.

I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.

I'm never tired of winning, and I'm never tired of skiing.

I met my agent when I was 10 years old on a family skiing vacation. He asked if I was interested in acting, and I had been doing school plays. A couple of years later, I called him up, and I started auditioning.

A part of me is missing when I can't ski, but I've learned there's more to define me and make me happy, like stand-up paddling and Jet Skiing - things I'd never done before. Or being with people I love and just enjoying life.

The history of skiing is important to me.

The person that was skiing was actually able to get themselves up onto a tree and keep themselves above the snow so that person was unharmed. The second person, a female, was caught in the avalanche.

There is no other event out there that combines snowboarding and skiing in an open registration format on this scale. This event is receiving incredible hype and response in its inaugural year and promises to set the standard for open competitions.

We're getting better and better, and we're skiing as a team instead of a bunch of talented individuals. That's really important at this time of year.

We always are training in bad weather and I grew up skiing in powder.

There are a lot of fun activities at a time when you can generally count on decent weather. April skiing and snowboarding is affordable, it's accessible, it's a little bit quieter experience than you encounter in January, and that can make for a better overall experience.

She went wheelchair skiing in Tahoe. She's very into wheelchair athletics. She went to some out-of-state tournaments in Florida ... and her foster mom said she's going to start taking tennis lessons.

She deserved to win it after skiing a perfect run.

She has been skiing tremendously this year. I feel bad for her but I am sure she will be great next year again.

She feels better. She was tired today because she had been skiing for eight days in a row.

She mastered skiing before we went all out on the downhill track. And she never takes any risks in training. If the conditions are bad, like poor visibility, she'll just stop ski practice.

My left knee went out and the bindings didn't release and I heard a pop. And that's when I knew it was a mistake. But I got a good rate on a 25-minute rental. It was my very first - and very last - run in skiing history.

My first attempt at the Dakar Rally ended with a seat in a helicopter and I never wanted to be in that position again. I knew I had a great chance to win. The team worked so hard on the development of our car and I think over the 15 days we were the better all-round team. It's a fantastic feeling to win the Dakar. I experienced many highs and lows in my skiing career, but this is so different.

My Dad got me into skiing when I was 7. The first time he took me skiing, I fell off the T-bar on my first ride up. I stood up, skied down, making turns, or so he claims, and hid in a bush for the rest of the afternoon. When he found me I said 'I never want to ski again.' I feel a lot like that right now.

Poster art is multi-dimensional. It shows the changing style of art and changing style of products. It shows the change in what a woman wears skiing. In one poster, she's skiing in a dress with one pole, and in the next she's in ski pants.

I would really like to see these kids with disabilities be out on the hill skiing and snowboarding as much as possible.

Catamount has been developing competitive skiers and snowboarders for decades. It's part of our heritage, and the U.S. Team has never been stronger than it is this year. Supporting their efforts is the right thing to do, and we hope that skiers will come enjoy a great day of skiing while supporting the Team.

I had one prone penalty and shot clean on standing today. I definitely felt better than I did in the 15K. I felt like my skiing was better.

I don't want people to be afraid of skiing because it's awfully fun. It's a darn good time. I really think you need to have a partner where you partner up and the two of you work it out where the top person watches the first person go down. That person stops and watches the other. And make sure they're nowhere near a tree.

I always joke with him that skiing moguls is about as close as you can get to football on snow ... because of the impact with the moguls.

We tailored a program to meet his goal which was skiing. It's amazing that he is out skiing already.

His skiing style is a little bit unorthodox, but when he is on, there's nobody in the world that can ski as fast as he can. He is blazingly fast. He just has an ability to see lines that other people don't see.

The rain didn't wash away the snow, but it washed away the visitors. People don't think of skiing when there's no snow in their front yard.

It is an accident waiting to happen. We have seen an enormous increase in backcountry skiing and snowshoeing over the last five years. It is only a matter of time until we see an avalanche triggered by these explosives that ends tragically.

I think there is a real need in the state of Colorado for a ski club that, actually, everybody involved skis. I don't mean to (call out) any other clubs, but I've been to some other club meetings where a lot of people at the meeting didn't even ski or ride. Although we have that social aspect, we are about the skiing and riding.

Last season was very difficult with a lot of injuries. This season started very good, but my skiing was not at 100% until now.

Our boys team had a great race. Kyle was right behind Sam and Nils. He has been skiing very strong for us.

Matt broke his pinkie water skiing; he's having surgery today, ... I mean, we're all kind of extreme guys. We like to do extreme things; it could've happened to any of us. We've been off four weeks; we're into jet skiing and motorbiking, things like that.

March and April are traditionally big snow months. And then you also get the nice sunny days in between, so spring skiing is my favorite time of the year to ski, and hopefully folks take advantage of it.

I think she usually ends up shooting a couple seconds faster than me and I end up skiing a couple seconds faster than her, so in the end it usually works out. But most of the time, we're pretty equal skiing and shooting as far as the number of targets hit.

I'm happy but devastated at the same time. The disappointment really hit when I watched the girls on the podium and heard the national anthem. This gives me a lot of motivation for the next races and the upcoming ski racing seasons. 2010 still seems far for now but I'm definitely motivated for skiing at my best in Vancouver.

I might as well not go if that's not my plan. I'm planning on skiing a good run, a podium performance for sure.

We hope to achieve better results in snow events, especially in free style skiing aerials and biathlon. It will also be the first time we send more athletes in snow events than on ice.

You almost expect surprises in this type of a race. The skiing was so fast because you had this ice coming out of the sky, making really hard tracks. There isn't a huge gap in the skiing. You couldn't make more than a minute or two on anybody today. So the (good) shooters had a huge advantage, much more than normal.

We're a family. I went back out skiing yesterday. We skied. That's because that's what we do.

Well, this is America, so obviously football is the Big Daddy in this country. It gets the most attention and has the most pressure, and that's what I've been really missing. A lot of people love to ski in this country, but it's primarily a recreational sport and that's the way people view it. Competitive skiing is not really on the radar here.

We have to. Later in the season, when the top melts down, someone skiing or snowshoeing over it could punch through and fall in. And they'd be in real trouble.

Travis is skiing a lot stronger and with a lot more self-confidence, and it shows in his jumping.

I'd imagine a great date would be to go skiing. Imagine going skiing. Go ski with someone, if they can ski.

When you're skiing, if you're not falling you're not trying.

I'm not a risk taker physically. I just have no interest in swinging myself off a mountaintop or parachute gliding or skiing down a totally vertical drop. These things don't interest me in the slightest, but I get so caught up in the color or the texture of the sounds of something. That's so funny to me.

Anything that involves the outdoors I'm all about, whether it be skiing, snowboarding, wakesurfing to mountain-biking. Anything that gets me outside.

We've been skiing Bear Trap all week and we should have a strong field again.

When I was younger, I would wake up 15 times the night before an event. But I think it's a little bit of a comfort level, too. I'm comfortable with how I'm skiing and how we are doing right now. But I'm definitely really excited about tomorrow, and it will probably be hard to get to sleep tonight.

This system that is now approaching the coast unfortunately is very warm. It looks like we'll have rain above 8,000 feet, maybe up to 9,000 feet. That's not good news for the ski resorts. I'm going skiing before the storm hits, so I can at least get in one good day.

There is a buzz about Colorado skiing and the snow conditions that we haven't seen in years.

To score a Top-3 result will not be so easy. I'm skiing better on soft snow now than in the past, but other racers do it better than me.

With all these factors, this is looking like a positive year. I'm sure we'll see a lot of positive news out of the state this year, as well. The more people who get excited about skiing and riding, the more we can cash in.

We love national parks and lodges, particularly those built in the 1930s and '40s. We've been to lodges in North Carolina, in Yellowstone, Yosemite and most recently Lake Louise and Banff. We also like to go skiing in Aspen and enjoy the look of the ski lodges.

But now that person's skiing down a hill because of things you did for them. You get to see them smile. It's really a wonderful thing.

This was the extent of my ability at this point. Overall, my skiing was not very good.

We will use this as an opportunity to show the world what we do. We like to show everyone that skiing rocks.

Bode is a great guy, very relaxed. His skiing is really from another star. ... He takes a lot of risks, and he wants to be fast and makes no compromise. It's good to watch.

Downhill skiing is more like an adrenaline rush, it's more about having fun. This is more about a workout. I wouldn't do this just for fun. It's more gratifying and rewarding than fun. I feel tired. I feel like I did a lot of work. It's not fun, but it's good to do. Fun is jumping off cliffs, skiing powder. This is more about being fit and being outdoors.

Driving nonstop and then skiing 55 miles is definitely not the silliest thing I've done, but it's probably in the top 10. But it gave us a goal on our trip and put an exclamation point on the ski season.

Erik has been skiing the last two or three days. We're still going day by day. He has been on the snow every day, free skiing and doing giant slalom. We'll have to see. It is looking positive.

There's no way I could make it. I tried skiing this morning and had too much pain. I didn't think it was possible to compete on it.

The training in Finland developed a lot of our skiing skills. But that short period of training is not enough. Inviting a foreign coach to stay with us for a long period of time is the key way for us to understand their real concepts in training.

I skied at about 97% today. I need to bring out that extra 3%. Scott's obviously skiing great. It's going to be a race. Both of us will give it our all, that's for sure.

I've been skiing too many races this past week.

I've been coaching Alpine skiing for seven years and have never seen that.

It would have been nicer if this was a Canadian (medal). It is kind of bittersweet. At 14, I saw him around Whistler. The family moved to Whistler to further their skiing to be closer to the best training they could get.

I understand the Ski Company's side completely. They want to have tracks to sell to people that will come and pay. It's a high-commodity item right now - skiing untracked powder. Everybody wants to do it.
