People ask me what makes a great skier. It takes the gift; but besides the gift it takes all the availability of mind which permit total control of all the elements that lead to victory. - total composure. ~ Jean-Claude Killy
Skiers quotes by Jean-Claude Killy
This time he asks his audience to join him in a mental exercise. As Boyd states, Imagine that you are on a ski slope with other skiers [. . .]. Imagine that you are in Florida riding in an outboard motorboat, maybe even towing water-skiers. Imagine that you are riding a bicycle on a nice spring day. Imagine that you are a parent taking your son to a department store and that you notice he is fascinated by the toy tractors or tanks with rubber caterpillar treads'.38 Now imagine that you pull the ski's off but you are still on the ski slope. Imagine also that you remove the outboard motor from the motor boat, and you are not longer in Florida. And from the bicycle you remove the handle- bar and discard the rest of the bike. Finally, you take off the rubber treads from the toy tractor or tanks. This leaves only the following separate pieces: skis, outboard motor, handlebars and rubber treads. However, he challenges his audience, what emerges when you pull all this together?39 SNOWMOBILE ~ Frans P.B. Osinga
Skiers quotes by Frans P.B. Osinga
Polls? Nah ... they're for strippers and cross country skiers. ~ Sarah Palin
Skiers quotes by Sarah Palin
If you want to be among the greatest skiers, you have to win in Kitzbuehel at least once. ~ Marcel Hirscher
Skiers quotes by Marcel Hirscher
Reading is like skiing. When done well, when done by an expert, both reading and skiing are graceful, harmonious, activities. When done by a beginner, both are awkward, frustrating, and slow.
Learning to ski is one of the most humiliating experiences an adult can undergo (that is one reason to start young). After all, an adult has been walking for a long time; he knows where his feet are; he knows how to put one foot in front of the other in order to get somewhere. But as soon as he puts skis on his feet, it is as though he had to learn to walk all over again. He slips and slides, falls down, has trouble getting up, gets his skis crossed, tumbles again, and generally looks- and feels- like a fool.
Even the best instructor seems at first to be of no help. The ease with which the instructor performs actions that he says are simple but that the student secretly believes are impossible is almost insulting. How can you remember everything the instructors says you have to remember? Bend your knees. Look down the hill Keep your weight on the downhill ski. Keep your back straight, but nevertheless lean forward. The admonitions seem endless-how can you think about all that and still ski?
The point about skiing, of course, is that you should not be thinking about the separate acts that, together, make a smooth turn or series of linked turns- instead, you should merely be looking ahead of you down the hill, anticipating bumps and other skiers, enjoying the feel of th ~ Mortimer J. Adler
Skiers quotes by Mortimer J. Adler
If you're a guest [at my $113 million house], you'll be able to call up on screens throughout the house almost any image you like - presidential portraits, reproductions of High Renaissance paintings, pictures of sunsets, airplanes, skiers in the Andes, a rare French stamp, the Beatles in 1965. ~ Bill Gates
Skiers quotes by Bill Gates
The sport of skiing consists of wearing three thousand dollars worth of clothes and equipment and driving two hundred miles in the snow in order to stand around at a bar and get drunk. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Skiers quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
It's funny to have become an elegant skier now. But my drive is still the same. ~ Hermann Maier
Skiers quotes by Hermann Maier
I haven't done any major filming with a major production company yet, but I've definitely done a lot of filming with a lot of professionals, filmers, and film little edits and put them up online. But I would definitely say that slope style skiers are entertainers as much as they are athletes. ~ Nick Goepper
Skiers quotes by Nick Goepper
Economies are embedded inside ecosystems. Companies dependent on tourism, for example, are affected by low rainfall - there's less snow for skiers, and forest fires are more intense. ~ Paolo Bacigalupi
Skiers quotes by Paolo Bacigalupi
I started from nothing in Lichtenstein. The country is so small, and the only 'celebrity' type people who are from there are skiers. ~ Al Walser
Skiers quotes by Al Walser
I started teaching yoga in 1974 in Colorado, I was living in Winter Park, and I started teaching skiers. At that point I was teaching more of the Sivananda system and just pushing it up a little bit to make it a little more rajasic a little more active, a little more physical. People would come, and feel great, and by the time I left Colorado in 1980 I'd taught pretty much everyone in town - the ski patrol, ski instructors, the bar owners. ~ Beryl Bender Birch
Skiers quotes by Beryl Bender Birch
Whether

Whether anger quickens a lagging stride,

and periodic burn-offs in the forest

revitalize exhausted soil and flora - .

Whether we should take pleasure in the wildcat


jubilation of a lightning bolt

that whips its silver vein of genesis

through the night sky, flash-photo of a white

birch upended, the root-system buckled


to swollen thunderheads - . And whether naming

an offense amounts to sour grapes and common

bitterness, or even the conceited nonsense

of unwashed yahoo multitudes, a yawping


insult to civilized behavior - . Whether

a July rainstorm, even when it drenches

the unprepared pedestrian and befuddles

traffic, might be extravagant, a joy,


like the whoops and escalating bop glissandos

of Gillespie's upraised horn, cascading pitches

a countersong to meteoric chalk marks

Perseids burn across the House of Leo - .


And whether peaceful ecstasy might float

up from a fifteen-second avalanche

reflected in the skier's goggles, his jacket

a spark of scarlet on the topmost slope,


waiting for the homeward track to clear. ~ Alfred Corn
Skiers quotes by Alfred Corn
There are many skiers who have chosen tele for a more compact, streamlined skiing system. ~ Paul Parker
Skiers quotes by Paul Parker
The Olympics are kind of weird. You have to be on a team. That's cool if you're a skier. But in snowboarding, you just want to be your own person. ~ Shaun White
Skiers quotes by Shaun White
Snowboarding is an activity that is very popular with people who do not feel that regular skiing is lethal enough. ~ Dave Barry
Skiers quotes by Dave Barry
I'm dreading being on a ski cross with other skiers who don't know what they're doing. ~ Heather Mills
Skiers quotes by Heather Mills
From the bodybuilding days on, I learned
that everything is reps and mileage. The more miles you ski, the better a skier you become; the more reps you do, the better your body. ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Skiers quotes by Arnold Schwarzenegger
Skiers make the best lovers because they don't sit in front of a television like couch potatoes. They take a risk and they wiggle their behinds. They also meet new people on the ski lift. ~ Ruth Westheimer
Skiers quotes by Ruth Westheimer
I do not participate in any sport with ambulances at the bottom of the hill. ~ Erma Bombeck
Skiers quotes by Erma Bombeck
I'm not much of a water skier, my legs are too skinny for that, so I just try to tube and have fun, just ride. ~ Josh Turner
Skiers quotes by Josh Turner
There are really only three things to learn in skiing: how to put on your skis, how to slide downhill, and how to walk along the hospital corridor. ~ Benjamin Mancroft, 3rd Baron Mancroft
Skiers quotes by Benjamin Mancroft, 3rd Baron Mancroft
Skiers view snowboarders as a menace; snowboarders view skiers as Elmer Fudd. ~ Dave Barry
Skiers quotes by Dave Barry
