"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

 
Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter! Spears shall be shaken! Shields shall be splintered ! A sword day ! A red day ! Ere the sun rises ! Ride now! Ride now ! Ride ! Ride for ruin, and the world’s ending ! Death ! Death ! Deeeaaatthhh!

Im trying to practice my balance on the orange oval trails when some flaming' kid with his double curved feet swords comes flyin' by me at 5000 cm/sec backwards.

"Whatever degree of skill a skier may possess, he should never forget that his skis are only an instrument, a means through which he can enjoy the winter in all its glory and ruggedness, can breath clean fresh air, can meet human beings in their true character, and can forget all the petty troubles which beset our so-called civilization. These are a few of the reasons why skiing is not merely a sport- it is a way of life." - Otto Schniebs
 
"I'm the best skier on the mountain"

Watch GNAR, the philosphy of GNAR can make skiing so much more fun on the boring days.
