Best Ski Advice & Sayings

"There's more to skiing than skiing." ~Bob

"As long as you stay forward, nothing really bad will happen to you." ~Byron

After watching the Killington channel one foggy morning, the ski instructor said to, "Stay low and on the balls of your feet," which Spark repeated to me several times throughout the day.

"Follow Barbara through the bumps," ~Steve to me since following Mace was out of the question.

With Coors Light raised in a toast, "To us and people just like us!" ~Bob, often. Okay it's not really advice, more of a mantra.

"It was creamy." ~Chard

"It can't be done!" One morning Steve and I tried to beat Chard out the door and to the slopes. We failed miserably. I said the quote, but Steve repeated it louder, hence everyone gives him credit for the quote. I am setting the record straight. In the end, lesson learned: No one can beat Chard to the rope drop.

"It's not a ski house until Chard has threatened to punch out your neighbor." ~me

"Snowboarding in powder is like slow, wet sex." ~Michael

"WWWD. What Would Wayne Do?" ~me, but again Steve usually gets credit for this. This was my answer when Bob asked himself at the end of the day, "Should I take another run or go to the bar?"

"No, Bob, there was never any dogs at H-4 while you were at Telluride...that I saw.. sober." ~Steve

Fart, sigh, spit, and say, "That was a good one!" ~Dennis on any given lift ride

"The more you dance, the better you ski." ~Steve, although we haven't danced since the Bobby Darling days...

"A gazillion." ~Diana upon answering a question from Bob's physician about how many beers per week he drinks. It's still in the file.

"I'm under arrest." ~Pete wanting another beer at the Lookout and Bob offering to post bail.
