Anna Olson Quotations

When we went to the representatives and the governor, there was understanding, but there just wasn't the appetite there for it to happen this year. We listened to that and pulled back from that arena.

We've shook the trees of the state, but nobody's walked up and offered to buy it for us yet. But we're on the mission of trying to replace the tram. And I truly believe in my heart of hearts we'll get one.

There is no fabrication of snow reporting here. We have a reputation, if anything, for underreporting.

That doesn't mean the locals don't think it was all about putting money in the resort's cash register.

If you're nervous about doing something, plan to do it badly, giving yourself credit for just doing it. That takes a weight off your shoulders because anyone can do something badly.

Like the pioneers of old, a creative person breaks new ground daily.

Your job is to create. Their job is to try to stop you. Don't do both jobs.

As long as you're willing to be called a fool, you can create anything, do anything, be anything.

Success is seldom permanent, and failure is seldom fatal. The important thing is to keep trying.

Letting go of the need for perfection releases a burst of energy - and guess what - you may accidentally do a good job.

Like the turtle, you need to stick your neck out to make progress.

I have a rule: before I can throw anything out, I have to write down five possible uses for it. This stretches my mind and keeps it nimble - just like stretching exercises do for my body.

Baking may be regarded as a science, but it's the chemistry between the ingredients and the cook that gives desserts life. Baking is done out of love, to share with family and friends, to see them smile.

We did an economic analysis and there was a sense that it would impact the tourism industry in Wyoming.

Although Jackson Hole is renowned for both steep and deep, it also has plenty of terrain for the entire family. No crowds (the mountain records only 300,000 to 400,000 skier visits each season), big mountain, epic snow and no major city within 4 hours are a few of the subtle differences that let you know you've stepped out of Colorado.

It's not something we want to do. But the reality is, we can't afford a new tram. And this mountain is bigger than one lift.

I definitely think today the team suffered a letdown. I do think we need to put it behind us though and come out this weekend to get some wins.
