“You’re trying to get two different cultures to mesh….. The High Cascade Culture and the Windless culture… To me, best practice wins…”
“When you’re 20 it’s (snowboarding) the world. When you’re 30 it’s still a big part of the world, but you realize that there’s more to it.”
“Is Windell’s or High Cascade going to have a rollerblade camp… Or scooters? No – never.”
“My dad used to say that going to college is just a sign to the world that you can follow through with something.”
“Put maybe a little bit more on your plate than you think you can handle, because you usually can handle it.”
