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

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.

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

I hate to say it to the kids out there but I just kind of blew off everything and made snowboarding the number one priority in my life

First and foremost, I've realized that I've been snowboarding for many years, and the biggest high that I get is when I really cut myself off from society, to really know the mountain. The high that I get from hiking up these mountains is a much bigger challenge than taking a helicopter to the top. I have to put more into it, but I get a lot more excitement out of it.

Protect Our Winters is this foundation I started in 2007, and it focuses on slowing down climate change by bringing the winter sports community together and having a strong voice to make change and slow down climate change.

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