“We have done exceptionally well in World Cup events this season, winning medals in snowboarding, freestyle moguls and freestyle aerials, and we are going to Turin with an expectation of winning medals there too.”
Craig Phillips
“The U.S. could win eight or even nine medals in snowboarding alone. It's hip. It's youthful. There are a lot of activities in the Winter Olympics that don't appeal to the younger demographic.”
Tracy Anderson

Shaun White
“People can learn these moves in a gym. Then, when it comes time to learn snowboarding, they already have the moves down. There are several types of boards you can develop your balance on. My board is specifically designed to develop precise muscles, not just rock back and forth.”
Danny Martin
“Dropping in, I was more nervous than I've ever been at a contest before. Once you're snowboarding, it's what we do every day, so it (the nervousness) kind of goes away.”
Elena Hight
“Getting these individuals involved in skiing and snowboarding greatly impacts their day-to-day functioning—physical skills, self-confidence and social interaction.”
Cara Barrett
“It's a mistake that anybody can make, no matter how long you've been snowboarding.”
