Gwyn Howat Quotations

We're ready to go. We've been ready since last year.

We hope to reopen Sunday if there is an expected cooling trend.

Maybe because snowboarding used to be a minority sport, it embraced all kinds.

It actually has turned into one of our busier weekends. The banked slalom has filled the gap that was there.

It can change from day to day and it can change during the day.

Our whole mountain certainly is a natural terrain park. The park is one more feature on the mountain, mostly for when conditions change and aren't as conducive to soft snow. When it's a powder day, people don't use it. When things settle out, the park is more popular.

The good news is we're expecting better weather Sunday. The wind is supposed to be light, there's supposed to be 10 to 18 inches of new powder and it possibly its going to clear. It will be business as usual for us on Sunday.

We just rolled over what we got last year.

We typically have the longest season in the region.

There's just a lot of snow up there in the mountains right now, which I'm sure the farmers are happy to hear - the farmers and the salmon.

People come here to simply try and do well at whatever level they are capable of doing. It helps the younger kids get older and wiser. It helps the older guys feel younger.

They get mad at me when I say that they will. So I'm not going to say anything.

It was a very interesting study in sociology, the integration of snowboarding on the mountain. It's amazing people were actually discriminated against because of what they were wearing on their feet.

It was a wild weather year. The big thing this season was extremes.

It's got a real nice flow to it. It will be a true bobsled course.

It's unlikely there will be any postponements. The weather has been all over the map this week, so we're going to play it day-by-day.

It's important that all communities embrace all cultures. It's just part of our social makeup, and the ski area is no different than that.

They called us up and were apologetic and said they wished they could come. I told them they better bring back the gold.

In the roots of snowboarding, duct tape was a part of snowboard technology.
