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.

In these conditions you need to know where your partner is all the time.

Even to the point of drifting off and thinking, 'well, this is how it ends.' And that's exactly what I thought. This is how it ends. And I thought that's not a good way to end.
