these lines are truly immortal.
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever

The passion Warren Miller had for skiing was truly something special ❤️
Does anyone else have good memories of hearing that classic final line? #WarrenMiller

77 years ago today was Larry Kwong Day at Madison Square Garden. Artist Amy Qi recreates the moment Larry received the Key to New York's Chinatown. Get the whole story in The Longest Shot: How Larry Kwong Changed the Face of Hockey, coming in February 2024 from @orcabook!

Kids may talk less to parents as they grow older. Skiing makes it different. Anticipating the thrill of coming fun, kids are more willing to share, providing parents more opportunities to connect. Long-distance trips bring the family closer.
#Skiing is bonding.

Super Sky Point to Gordon Lightfoot, one of the greatest goddamn singer-songwriters of the 70s. Probably knocking back a few beers in heaven with the Edmund Fitzgerald boys tonight. #RIP

He sat on top of the mountain.
He shared what he saw.
For so many around the world, they knew our stories because of him.
Rest in peace Gord.
Golden forever.

The hardest working volunteers and staff. 5 races in 9 days. ONLY World Championships or Olympic Winter Games run more events. No other race venue on the World Cup Tour runs this many events - thank you Sled Dogs & Net Monkeys of the @AlpineSkiWC you are the best! – at Canmore, Alberta

Please take a moment to read about Terry Fox if you’ve not heard of him. He was our hero. When my dad told me he’d died, when I was nine, it’s the earliest memory I have of remembering every detail of where I was when I heard. Dirt road, Morin Heights, Quebec, sunny day.

When is the @daveryding movie coming out? It’s like if #eddietheeagle became one of the consistently best ski jumpers in the world, and then finally won the biggest event of the year in his late prime. #fairytale

Happy B Mr. Bowie 🎂 I just found out Bowie was a skier! “Let’s ski, put on your red boots and ski at blue”.
When people say “I bet Jimi Hendrix is in heaven right now jamming with Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain” I like to imagine that Bowie is skiing with Andy Warhol instead

A 5 year old kid looked me dead in the eyes yesterday as I was talking to his dad about skis & completely unprompted goes:
“I Fweaking Rip”
& that is the confidence I need to start having in my every day life.

I've been in trouble but I'm okay
Been through the wringer but I'm okay
Walls are falling and I'm okay
Under the mercy and I'm okay

Agree 100%, but this is not new. We’ve benefited enormously in so many sports for decades. Athletics, skiing, aquatics … it’s a long list. It’s the grit of newcomers, combined with enlightened sport development that supports talent. theglobeandmail.com/canada/t…
