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

Eventually I'd like to have a family. I'd like to not be limping around when I'm 50 years old.

I would say most of my style is driven by functionality and comfort.

In some ways, that's the story of my season - when I wasn't making big mistakes, I was winning races and being on the podium. And when I made mistakes I was still fourth or fifth, just off the podium.

There's so many guys skiing so fast right now that you really have to be willing to take a lot of risks if you want to give yourself a chance to win. I'm prepared to do it; it's just a matter of if I can make it work.

At this point in my career, I have the privilege of choosing my partners. In the beginning, you more or less take what comes in the door - or what matches up with your brand. But you're always subject to what's available, especially in the ski world where there are not infinite choices, especially on the fashion side.

A huge adrenaline rush is usually followed by a pretty low point.
