The attraction of snowboarding is the freedom it gives you. With a snowboard on your feet the sky is the limit. You can do anything and go anywhere. This is not just for pro riders. It is for everyone.

Our society has got to evolve and create better ways of living.

In all aspects of my life, I try to reduce my impact on the earth - that includes snowboarding, as well.

I feel vulnerable on mountains. It's an uncontrolled, raw environment. It's very - it's truly humbling.

What draws me to the type of snowboarding that I'm doing now is, I go through every emotion in life when I'm climbing these mountains. The fear. The anticipation before that. Getting to the top and the joy of standing on top, and then the adrenaline on going down, and then the kind of overwhelming emotions that I get at the bottom. That whole process is really addicting, and makes me feel alive.

I'm trying to simplify my life, I guess that's my latest project.

In the past people would say, "I can only do this world-class snowboarding if I have a helicopter." Actually, if you're committed to it, willing to put a bunch of energy into it, then you can do it under your own power.
