John Baker

Denver people have been ingrained to think mountains, mountains, mountains. We're an alternative. Especially for people in my age demographic, we tend to want warmer. I'm not really skiing anymore. I'd rather be out on the boat every night.

Barry Freedman

In foreign countries, there are different coaches for skiing and shooting, but we only have one. If we want out biathlon to develop, these coaches with advanced training methods are necessary.

That has to be the biggest comeback in the history of high school skiing.

Greg Mcclallen

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.

Jeremy Bloom

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

This goes with creating an awareness of skiing in general. Miller's films are about extreme skiing, and they get people excited.

The skiing is fantastic. I haven't seen it like this in more than two or three years.

Donna Thompson

I think it's a symbol of the freedom of skiing at Brundage.

Julia Mancuso

Cross-country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

A simple warm-up prior to skiing gets the blood flowing, warms the core (muscles) and gets you mentally and physically ready for the day. The warm-up will also get the blood flowing in your core as well as your legs, knees and lower back and minimize the risk of injury.

Adrian Crook

I kind of had a lazy eye and nobody had an answer for my mom. When I was 15, while on the Douglas High School ski team, I fell skiing and had blackened eyes. The pressure in my left eye was tremendous.

Melissa Baker

The greatest thing that happens to me when I'm skiing is the harmony. The only time I was ever present in my body before was in sex, performing, drugs and with the sea. Skiing became the new and healthy way of being present - although I don't know if it's healthy, I could sever my spinal cord.

Spalding Gray

Few recognize that it was the alumni and staff of the northern New England skiing colleges, particularly Dartmouth, who formed the early core of the 10th Mountain Division.

Stephen Waterhouse

Adding Nordic skiing to our roster of sports is just one more way we are increasing the opportunities for Northland College students, as well as attracting new students. We've found the students who come to Northland thrive on outdoor sports, like skiing. Our location is a prime for skiers and we are really pleased to offer this competitive opportunity.

Steve Wammer

Tons of people are looking to go overseas for skiing holidays.

Ali Waugh

He's sort of the Lance Armstrong of Nordic skiing. He doesn't leave anything to chance: equipment, training, planning for race day.

Trond Nystad

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

Julia Mancuso

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.

Adam Swank

She seems to enjoy skiing; you can see it. When you want something too hard, it doesn't come out good. I like the way she is now. This season, I really like her.

Ante Kostelic

The trip was supposed to be mostly downhill skiing, but we're three pretty avid cross-country skiers who weren't ready to give up on the season. I looked on the Internet for a race and this one looked like a challenge. It was masochistic fun.

Adam Swank

It's impossible to recover in a year when we're only open 25 days in one season that's going to take a few years of recovery... Was it an excellent year? Absolutely... We have a lot good skiing ahead of us.

Kathleen Goyette

It's looking like a good weekend for skiing and riding. We've got a bunch of storms lined up. The real good news is that (the storms) are setting us up for an awesome New Year.

Russ Pecoraro

We can't control what the ratings will be. It's like, if you're going to go skiing, do you hope you'll have a good day of skiing? Yes. Do you hope you won't break your leg? Yes.

David Hyde Pierce

I hoped that I could have been closer to the top. The skiing didn't feel normal. It felt sticky, and when Magnus passed me after the 9-kilometer mark, I knew that I wasn't going to catch them.

Hannu Manninen

It's not a pretty sight at the beach. But it only hurts when I go skiing. I'm less than 100 percent, but I can make a pitching change and argue with an umpire. And that's all I need to do.

Bobby Valentine

Skiing combines outdoor fun with knocking down trees with your face.

Dave Barry

Getting these individuals involved in skiing and snowboarding greatly impacts their day-to-day functioning—physical skills, self-confidence and social interaction.

Cara Barrett

We were playing soccer so we thought it would be a good idea in the winter to get in shape through Nordic skiing. And it really stuck with us.

Daryl Newcomb

I admire all the cross-country skiers from countries where there is no cross-country skiing.

Sara Mcclure

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.

Tom Mccarthy

The sensual caress of waist deep cold smoke - Glory in skiing virgin snow, in being the first to mark the powder with the signature of their run.

Tim Cahill

I'm optimistic. It's easy to be optimistic when you're a year out, 18 months out. But with the group we've got here, they're still skiing great right up to the Olympics, so I'm still feeling good about it.

Jeff Wintersteen

Not only do our friends see us having a beer often, they catch us skiing together. It's embarrassing!

Trey Parker and Matt Stone

Vicki Baumann

They will see the finest skiing on the planet.

You see those on people at places like Vail, where they work while they?re skiing.

Brian Mcqueen

It was kind of an intimidation factor, skiing against guys you'd really been looking up to.

Ted Ligety

This is a very important win for Italian skiing. The hardest thing to do now is continue like this. But I'm not afraid. I prepared myself well this summer.

Giorgio Rocca

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.

Gunnar Brolinson

Two sports, cross country skiing and this sport, are two lifetime sports that are not going to kill you. They're not going to ruin your legs or anything. You can do it anywhere, anytime, any set of circumstances. On a track, ice, indoor or outdoor. It's kind of liberating in a way.

Bob Berkley

The most egregious instances of trespass have occurred for the purpose of recreational skiing, not for avalanche control.

Thomas Johnson

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 outfit. It's a fantastic feeling to win the Dakar. I experienced many highs and lows in my skiing career, but this is so different.

Luc Alphand

Let's go skiing right now!

Roald Amundsen

I've told our backs coach Paul John that he did not have to go abroad skiing this year - he could have done it here!.

Simon King

When my daughter was born, I decided she was most important. It's difficult, but it's possible. It was not possible to leave my daughter at home, because I travel for skiing. She is always with me.

Katerina Neumannova

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.

Joe Falconer

It was a very open course that had people skiing like a mini super-G. The skiers could tuck all the way. A lot of us ski aggressively, and that showed on this course. It brought a lot of confidence to the team for the rest of the season.

Simon Marsh

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.

Spalding Gray

He hurt his left arm while skiing for pleasure. He is undergoing tests. We are afraid he may have broken something.

Gerard Rougier

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.

Duff Mckagan

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

Nicole Hosp

There were four Pan Am families that were based in Berlin, Germany. We were on the same crew there in 1970 - we all started skiing in Europe and we all wound up moving to Incline, supposedly to ski for a few years - but we lived here ever since.

Jim Mcconnell

It was a lovely day, so quiet. My husband, Tim, and I were skiing with our two boys and a friend in Yellowstone National Park on Dec. 30, when all of a sudden, we heard the noise of a snowmobile.

Sara Johnson

You know what we should have done? Take Greg Skiing.

Brad Faxon

We're optimistic (higher gas prices) won't affect people's interest in skiing, ... but it will affect our operating costs.

Tracy Miller

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

Tae Satoya

I have never doped, and will never dope. I don't believe doping belongs in any sport, especially cross-country skiing.

Leif Zimmermann

Knowing that I've already got one gold medal at home helps a bit with the entire situation. Skiing isn't everything in the world and a gold medal isn't everything in the world. And I'm not badly off. In fact, I'm quite happy.

Fritz Strobl

It seems like it is a smart thing to wear a helmet if you ski or snowboard. Even if you're not aiming for Olympic gold, but you are skiing or snowboarding, just for fun or pleasure.

Dr. Roald Bahr

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

Marit Bjorgen

Probably when I quit skiing, I will think about it more. Right now, I'm just concentrated on my skiing. It's not about how many medals I won or will win. I'm just having fun.

Ante Kostelic

The story was more gracious than we were expecting after hearing all the interview hype. Obviously, Nike doesn't support drinking and skiing, or drinking and sports activities.

Dean Stoyer

While other people were off eating turkey I was hitting the slopes and improving my skiing. I made some major changes that have showed up right away.

Allison Forsyth

People realize it's a great way to support the organization, while having fun. That's what it's all about, skiing and the community.

Kate Berman

We're optimistic as an industry. We hope to keep aging baby boomers skiing as long as we can, while seeing them bring their children and grandchildren to the slopes.

Tim White

The whole point of this is to make it affordable for families to go skiing. We are looking at charging $22 for lift tickets, which will by far be the cheapest skiing anywhere.

Terry Cook

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.

Jerry Stanek

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.

Rick Woods

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.

James Upham

The way I'm skiing right now makes me feel like the only one who can stop me is myself. I think I'm in the form of my life.

Michael Walchhofer

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.

Gunnar Brolinson

Some of our guests only get seven days to go skiing and they don't want to get their ass kicked.

Chuck English

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.

Luc Alphand

Consolidation in the skiing equipment industry cannot be allowed to lead to higher prices, lower quality or less innovative products.

Neelie Kroes

There is nothing intrinsically uninteresting about skiing a little and shooting a little. This is the way liquor stores are robbed in Switzerland.

Bernie Lincicome

When Amy went down, it didn't look good. We were already skiing without Monica, and they have been consistently scoring for us this year.

Ronn Gifford

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.

Brendan Mcdermott

Skiing and snowboarding are sports of freedom.

Geraldine Link

I dropped acid skiing one time and lost my wallet.

Beastie Boys

It seems like no matter how hard the snowboarders work, the money goes to the skiing side of things. The Collection gives us the freedom to pick and choose what we want to do, and the money keeps going back into the team.

Ross Powers

It's nice to go into the New Year's break on an up note. It was just good, aggressive skiing from the girls.

Trevor Wagner

We have a feeling that we will have many tourists this year, because there are various games like ice-skiing. A lot of people visit this place and we feel we will be able to earn good revenue this year.

Mukhtar Ahmed

I will continue to base out of Laramie. But I'll pursue skiing and biathlon at an international level for at least one more year after the Olympics. I feel like I am still improving, so I am not ready to hang up the skis yet.

Sarah Konrad

A lot of people are calling. A lot of people are booking. And that's what a weather phenomenon like this does. It has an effect of getting people interested early in skiing, and second and most importantly, ... it gives people a level of certainty about their ski vacation, whether it's in November all the way through March.

Mike Smedley

Skiing the anchor leg is the greatest opportunity. I'm nearing the end of my career, so this medal counts for that much more.

Mario Stecher

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.

Toby Dawson

I have the feeling that my slalom skiing is very solid and I have much more belief in it than I did earlier this season. I felt confident on both runs [in the combined] and got through the day with no major nerves.

Noel Baxter

In spring, people don't take skiing and riding as seriously. They get to the slopes around 10 a.m, ride until 2 p.m. and then park it on the deck and soak up the sun.

Nicole Belt

(It's not like) swimming, or any sport where the endurance factor is such a big deal. In a sport like skiing, you just get it one day. All of a sudden, you're skiing great, and there may not be a real explanation for that.

Thomas Grandi

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

Michelle Thomas

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.

Xiao Tian

I'm disappointed with my performance. I wasn't aiming to put out my best effort because I've gone through a lot (personally) but I wanted to make a strong effort because I love skiing.

Tae Satoya

We want to do a film that is fun and everybody can appreciate. We just want to bring the fun back into skiing, that's what it's all about, appreciating the beauty.

Steve Winter

I never thought I could win again here on such a difficult course, which is why it means so much to me. I was not sure about coming here, how well I'd be skiing and able to handle it.

Hermann Maier

I'm excited about the new skiing and snowboarding opportunities and the efforts to bring resort infrastructure into a better balance with current use levels. The mountain needed ways to update distribution and circulation of their guests.

Rick Newton

It's just awesome. It's perfect skiing and you just feel you're on top of the world.

Joey Green

Probably the same reason they went to Dartmouth. Hiking, biking, skiing - all the same things we like to do in Vail.

Joe Mchugh

I love skiing and playing in the snow, and I love everything about the winter environment. It gives you opportunity to get creative, be a kid again. You can build all types of snow shelters.

Matt Lloyd

When he first came here, he wasn't a very big kid, and there was not a lot of discipline in his skiing. He wasn't strong enough to pull off what he was trying to do.

Chip Cochrane

We're entering the last third of the season with midseason conditions. I feel confident we'll get to the mid to later half of March with good skiing. If it snows in March, maybe we can go to the end of the month.

Craig Low

This is a measure of revenge after what happened yesterday (Saturday). At least we could get back to proper skiing. I did pretty well. It felt very easy.

Michaela Dorfmeister

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.

Scott Mcguire

It's a great day, especially with Bode skiing out. Ted stepped up.

Scott Macartney

When I log on, it pops up right away, so I check out the snowboarding and skiing events? Not so much.

Joe Hubbard

They should look at this as an economic development. It draws people at a different time (of the year) than skiing and would help us be a year-round resort.

Chris Amoroso

He's skiing again, but he's not racing this year.

Cliff Persons

The most important thing is to work with the athlete for him to discover how to optimize the various positions relative to the skiing.

Michael Holden

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.

Rachel Steer

When you ski down the slope, you drop one knee to turn. It's really a quite graceful form of skiing.

Jason Shugg

It's so rare that skiing is so much in front of a national audience like this, I have to believe it's got to help.

Nathan Rafferty

It's a great way to meet people and have fun skiing.

Mike Wrobel

Racing against SNC is entertaining to say the least. We can't even compete against the caliber of racers that SNC has. They're always on top and they always show us how we should be skiing the course.

Chris Newton

The men were strong once again and are really skiing well. Scott is skiing great, which is really good to see for him. Will had a great second run and placed well for us. Gaspar was solid and is skiing to his potential.

Jaka Korencan

It's pretty exciting. Whoever puts down the best run ... everyone here is skiing really well. It's the person who has that day.

Shannon Bahrke

Despite some falls, not a single one of them gave up. Several parents and course officials complimented me on the heart of my team. That meant more to me than any championship. They just love skiing. I?m very proud that they had the drive and the pride to finish, no matter what.

Andrew Dorais

It is possible. I think that I found the key to skiing without mistakes.

Giorgio Rocca

All sports have exercise and stretching prior to the activity, and skiing should be no exception.

Carly Carmichael

You'd be surprised. When we're out there skiing people think we're 35-year-olds.

Gerry Smith

But there was no question in my mind that I was gonna still go for it. I was still going for the win. I wasn't skiing for second or third place today, and in the end I think that's probably what got me there.

Bode Miller

Skiing consists of wearing $3,000 worth of clothes and equipment and driving 200 miles in the snow in order to stand around at a bar and drink.

P. J. O'Rourke

I just wasn't skiing quite right today. It's a very nice course and the snow is great. There are some big jumps here.

Allison Forsyth

Assuming the winds and the skiing are safe, we're going to have every lift open.

Carly Carmichael

This is revolutionary in the history of skiing and it's very exciting.

Jennifer Black

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.

Scott Kaden

Overall, it was a huge success for me. It was a huge honor for me to be a two-time Olympian and have the accomplishments that I've been able to have in skiing. But certainly there was an element of disappointment. ... I expect perfection out of myself, and I didn't ski a perfect run. I was disappointed in that, but I did ski well, and I had a great time.

Jeremy Bloom

Talking from morning to night about sex has helped my skiing, because I talk about movement, about looking good, about taking risks.

Ruth Westheimer

When he first started he had mostly an alpine background. Then he expressed an interest in skiing cross country. There were some learning years but he became a very good skier. He was a real treat to work with.

Mark Clark

We've got some great coaching, the level of funding and support is going up within U.S. skiing, and we're getting some results to speak of. It just shows all the hard work that's been put in on both sides is really paying off.

Chris Cook

Skiing is when I feel I'm at my most independent.

Michael Guilbeault

That felt better than most of my races this year. I've had a real hard time this year with my skiing, it just hasn't been there. I still don't think it's there.

Rachel Steer

With the support this event gets from the community and the [Aspen] Skiing Company, it makes me motivated to keep doing it. It takes something to motivate and drive me every year. I'm feeling the love and the support to keep it going.

Erik Skarvan

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.

Erik Guay

After the super G, where I made a costly mistake and still had a reasonable result, I knew I was skiing well. I entered today's race with the intention to attack 100 per cent.

Erik Guay

I think maybe people are skiing and going out to dinner and not shopping.

Ellen Gillespie

It was a huge blow not having Fabian in the scoring, but his health is more important than results. He has adjusted his medications and should be ready for tomorrow. I feel the men are skiing super consistent, finishing only seconds behind each other. Only having three skiers makes it difficult and really affects our team scores, but we are going to continue to ski strong.

Eli Brown

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

Elana Chase

Frank is passionate about skiing.

Elaine Kuntz
