A Quote by Taron Egerton

I learned how to ski for 'Eddie the Eagle.' I never skied before. So I had to go out to Germany a couple of weeks early and make sure I could ski.

I started going on ski trips at senior school. I can't remember exactly where but we skied in the Tirol in Austria a couple of times and also went to Val d'Isère in France. When I was 15, rugby took over and there wasn't time to ski any more. I didn't ski again until I was 33.

Mike Tindall

I had to think about ankle torsion, where the screws are on the ski, how that affects the forces going into the ski and how the ski bends, your leverage points. It was a challenge. I was having the greatest time, making the mistakes, crashing.

Bode Miller

When I ski, I take both of my legs off and get into a sit ski: a ski with a custom seat that has been molded for me. I use my core and arms to propel myself on snow with help from ski poles.

Oksana Masters

In 2012, I was invited to a ski event called the Hartford Ski Spectacular to learn how to sit-ski for the first time. I loved it, but it was not pretty - I was not good. I didn't know how to stop, so I kept throwing myself on the ground.

I learned to ski in the Dolomites at the age of five. Ski lifts didn't exist then, so I did everything on foot.

Reinhold Messner

I had no money, no training facilities, no snow, no ski jumps, no trainer, but I still managed to ski jump for my country - and getting there was my gold medal.

Eddie the Eagle

I've done an awful lot of skiing all over Europe: I've done Italy, Austria, France. I skied loads in New Zealand - I did pretty much every ski slope I could find.

Richard C. Armitage

Look, on the first day of 'The Jump' we shared a ski lift together. We got to the top and Vogue skied off and I said, jokingly at the time: 'I'm going to marry that girl.' Turns out, I am.

One of the cool things about ski racing is there is never a perfect run so it's hard to be satisfied in that sense, you can always go that extra step, i don't think any of us have the realistic goal of having the perfect run. Ski racing is the most variable sport out there, conditions change run-to-run, we only get one chance at it and the margin for error is tiny.

Ted Ligety

All my children ski now, they don't have a choice. They have to join mom and dad on the ski hill.

Sophie Gregoire Trudeau

When I travel, I always have about 40 pairs of skis with me, plus a ski technician and a ski coach.

Julia Mancuso

But then I hit my 20s and only made two albums, and now I live in a ski resort as a ski bum basically.

Vanessa Mae

It had been a dream of mine to go to an Olympic Games since I was about seven years old. I didn't know I'd do it ski jumping, but that's how it turned out.

Eddie the Eagle

I'd imagine a great date would be to go skiing. Imagine going skiing. Go ski with someone, if they can ski.
