John Paul loves to ski very much as he felt it brought him physical exercise as well as closer to God. Every year he would spend two weeks skiing at Poland's Zacopane largest ski resort. One of his famous quotes is that, "It is unbecoming for a Cardinal to ski badly" He said to a journalist, "I wish I could be out there somewhere in the mountains, racing down into a valley. It's an extraordinary sensation."

Tuesday was John Paul’s day off and he would usually go on long day trips wearing a black hooded jacket to escape notice. He would ride in the backseat of a priest’s car and travel usually to a mountain for hiking or skiing. He loved to ski very much and one time a little boy recognized him as the pope and asked him after staring for a long time, “Are you the Pope?” John Paul answered, “Yes, do you want to ski with me?” After that, they would ski together many times.~He is John Paul book
