Why Ski Or Snowboard?
It’s cold, it’s wet, and it requires enough equipment and clothing to outfit a small army. Yet millions of people gear up every season to slide around on this natural wonder we call snow. Ask anyone who routinely hits the slopes why they go to the trouble, and you’ll hear answers that you won’t believe until you give snowsports a try for yourself.
Here’s what the PSIA-AASI teams have to say about why you should try skiing or snowboarding . . .
“It’s the most exciting sport there is. Period! In what other sport do you have the freedom to explore the mountains like you do on skis? The thrill of sliding downhill is like nothing else.” – Bobby Murphy, PSIA Alpine Team
“As a skier with a disability, I enjoy the freedom to go anywhere I want, unrestricted to a sidewalk or ramp. The exhilaration of speed and the rush of skiing a steep slope make me feel alive.” – Bill Bowness, PSIA-AASI Adaptive Team Coach
“No matter who you are or where you’re from, a snowsport will help you view the world in a different way.” – David Oliver, PSIA Alpine Team
“It’s a great way to do something fun and healthy during the winter.” – Eric Rolls, AASI Snowboard Team
“Skiing empowers you with a unique freedom of movement and self-expression. It’s a sport that you’ll enjoy on day one and for the rest of your life!” – Eric Lipton, PSIA Alpine Team
“It’s a great way to pass the time in the winter. Instead of dreading snow, you start wishing for it. The feeling of sliding down a hill with something attached to your feet is awesome. It’s so fun and it’s a great way to exercise, and pretty much anyone can do it with a little help from an experienced instructor.” – Tommy Morsch, AASI Snowboard Team
“Snow play is so much fun, and a great confidence builder for all kinds of life situations.” – Scott McGee, PSIA Nordic Team Coach
“It gives a whole new perspective on winter. Snow becomes desirable, not dreaded.” – Matt Boyd, PSIA Alpine Team
“Dude, it’s super-fun.” – Gregg Davis, AASI Snowboard Team
