I thought this was an interesting quote that relates well to my perception of skiing:
"...skateboarding's a lot bigger than pros or tricks or quadruple kinks. It's about the laughs, the wierdos, the costumes and the kids--and everything else you run into on the highway of stoke. It's about your life. And it's worth remembering" -Michael Burnett
Skiing
"Remember when pros used to be radder than ams?" - Kieran Webb
