Words have a weird way of working themselves out. They can be hateful, powerful, bland, and so much more. They always seemed bland when it came to reading and writing in school. But when it comes to skiing, words flow, make you feel, and they reaffirm our love for this thing called skiing. Words of the Wise is a list of quotes straight from the mouths of some of skiing’s most memorable characters.
“Skiing is the best way in the world to waste time.” - Glen Plake

“I’m doing what I love, and if you’re doing what you wanna do all the time, then you’re, you’re happy, you’re not going to work everyday wishing you were doing something else. I get up to go to work everyday and I’m stoked. That does not suck.” - Shane McConkey (6:33)
I chose to exclude quotes from things like LTC, Chug Life, etc., because there would literally be too many to count. What are some of your favorite skiing quotes?
