Ski Quotes Of The Week

By J.D. O'Connor
February 05, 2007

"I would think the Sierra Nevada is going to be faced with the transition to golf and mountain biking sooner than other areas."

California geologist Lisa Sloan.

"Its a ski area arms race. The whole thing is a giant scam. People are trying to get as much money from real estate and then it's 'who cares about what happens.'"

Film maker and conservationist Hunter Sykes, on ongoing overdevelopment of U.S. ski towns.

"Yesterday I got to ski real snow in the Midwest. Not that other man-made snow that's everywhere, masquerading around like The Real Stuff(TM). I'm talking fresh, God-given snow. And it was beautiful...exactly the way it should be..."

OnTheSnow blogger "FonixMunkee" after a day on the slopes of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

"There is a Swedish saying that if you want snow, schedule a downhill race. But if you really want a lot of snow schedule a world championship."

Race director Jan-Erik Hedstrom after stormy weather delayed the Alpine Skiing World Championships in Are, Sweden, for the second day in a row.
