hey guys i don't know if anybody will remember this but a few years ago in one of the issues of Powder they had a really great quote defining what a skier is. I used to have it saved but i can't seem to find it.

it went something like...

"A skier: (a buncha stuff and near the end something like..) a message to society that not every kid is sitting on the couch with an xbox and french fries."

it was such a good quote and hopefully somebody has it...please help me out.

i serched for a while and couldnt find it but i used this one a while ago

"The ski bum trades security for face shots, the future for the moment. Considering how hollow the promise of a corporate career has become, who can say the ski bum is not the wiser investor in his or her youth?"

A skier: an escape from an overly cluttered world. An example of innovation at work; an inspiration to ski better this year than last; an answer to anyone who ever doubted that skiing and all it stands for can still provide one of the most exhilarating days on the planet; a reason to quit your job, sell your matching bedroom set, and move to the mountains once and for all; a motivational speech to anyone needing some twin tips and a fresh learning curve to revitalize their love of the sport; a few frames of A-roll footage for an up-and-coming filmmaker with a camera and a head full of fresh ideas; evidence that not every kid in the country is sitting around Super-sizing himself on drive-through fries and Xbox; an education for every person on a passing chairlift watching the sport evolve before their eyes; an expression of freedom like this insignificant string of words could never hope to capture.


there ya go.
