"You put on your boots, click into your bindings, dust the snow off your skis, and head out for the chair, and it doesn't matter that you failed a test, didn't get the girl, or that your life is on a one way trip down the shitter, your world is right for the next couple of hours."

I want to say seth ( maybe McConkey?) said it, but I don't think that's right.

how about    "if you can afford to go to college you don't need to go" -Warren Miller quoting Max Manccini he said it seemed like it made sence to him, it certainly does to me, anyone else?

If it was higher ground, then it would have been Johnny Mosely that said it.

WM wouldn't have cursed though.

I had to right 8 page paper in one of my writing classes in college. Here's a quote from it

"It's an escape, a way to clean your soul with every breath you take in of that clean mountain air. It is not just a hobby but a lifestyle and you can't really understand it unless you are in it. Until you have that run where everything clicks in place and your every move is effortless that is when it overwhelms you. That is when you are a skier." -me
