For me, skiing is all about the Three F’s.
Fun – Freedom – Flow
And Marker makes some great stuff the lends itself to all three.
I love skiing as family bonding time. Now that my kids are old enough to get out on the hill, my wife and I don’t have to fight about who gets to take the big one skiing. We can all go!

The Marker Ski Jacket with attached hood is my go to whenever the tempatures drop below 20 degrees. It has all the correct details without being fussy.
What I love most a bout skiing is that at 61 I can still get up when I crash.
I have only skied , mostly because I can not afford another expensive sport. But just getting to the out doors is enough for me.
I LOVE being in the gorgeous, rugged Colorado mountains, especially in the woods…
Add snow and proper gear, and I’m in heaven!
I love skiing because it gets me outdoors in the winter to have a good time.
I snowboard because I get to get to play on the mountain with my husband and grandson. It keeps me young and in shape. I love the comfy Marker jacket I have.
What I love about skiing is the varied challenges. You can ski the same Mt a 100 times and the same trail dozens of times per trip and you always have the potential of it being a totally different ride. Some of my best runs were not on the perfect powder, empty trail, great visibility days, but on the nastiest crud, flat light and crowded slopes.

Since the upper Midwest is basically 2 seasons (winter and mosquito), getting outside is essential. Skiing is the ideal winter recreation to keep active. As long as you are dressed for the weather, being outside and going downhill is a great experience.
What do I love about skiing? EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! (What’s not to love?)
p.s. I do appreciate wearing the right gear for being out in all conditions… like my Marker “Betty” snow pants
I love to be outdoors enjoying the wilderness.
I live to be outdoors enjoying the wilderness.
I love skiing because it gets rid of cabin fever and there’s nothing like swishing down some good snow.

I’m not a huge skier or snowboarder, but I love hiking and the great views of a snow-surrounded Lake Tahoe. The Marker Aurora in green looks pretty awesome, too.
Marker is my go to product for helmets and bindings. Would love a garment to round things out.

Would love a garment to round out my helmet and bindings from Marker.
I have never been snowboarding, but I love skiing. It’s a way for me to get away from it all and also face my fears. I have a crazy fear of heights, but with my skiis strapped on, I have taken to some pretty high heights! I’ve been able to see some beautiful scenery. Nothing makes me happier than fresh fallen snow! Well, maybe winning a Marker jacket
I also am posting on Facebook!
What do I like? I like being outdoors in cold weather!
I love the view from the top of the mountain and nice long runs like those at Whistler/Blackcomb.
I love the view from the top of the mountain and the fresh air.
Skiing combing many elements of the sporting
Life-fitness, rugged outdoors, nordic traditions.
Many are drawn to trendy resorts yet some prefer smaller reasorts. Just as a reliable jacket or warm pair of gloves, there is nothing more
Familiar than the smiling faces of friends, first tracks, beautiful scenery, and endless traditions!
I LOVE skiing for the physical challenge, speed, and feeling of being free on the slopes!

Skiing is flying! (And with the right equipment it’s a hundred times more enjoyable).
I love skiing for the fresh crisp air, entertaining wipe outs, and great sunny days on the chairlift!

I would love to learn to snow ski or snowboard if I could get to a colder climate.
I have tweeted the Marker giveaway!
Skiing is like having the opportunity to fly, but knowing its your choice and you are in control.
Skiing is like baving the freedom to fly!
I love skiing for the freedom, the rush of the wind, the silence of the snow, and that the whole family can have fun with it.

Snowboarding for me is all about the feel of the turns and of flying through powder while enjoying the gorgeous scenery
