My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.

Sometimes it's all about the win, sometimes it's about the skiing.

One kid's old, used-up equipment is another kid's brand-new, awesome, awesome equipment.

It's nice, being brought up with no money at all. It's just not how I measure success, so that makes it a bunch easier.

I like to keep my private life private for the most part.

It is not that I don't recognize the danger in ski racing, but that I don't fear the consequences.

I simply think things through, and I look at problems. One thing I pride myself on is the ability to connect unconnected thoughts and come up with new, unique thoughts.
