I get a lot of inspiration from my surroundings, people I'm with. Mother Nature. It's combination of everything and really wanting to live life to the fullest. I feel very fortunate to be healthy, so I try to take advantage of it.

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

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

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

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.

I feel very fortunate to be healthy, so I try to take advantage of it.

I've seen definitive change in the mountains. I have concerns for the future generation. We inherit the earth from the people in front of us, and then we pass it on to the next generation. I don't think we've done a great job with our responsibility to leave the earth a better place than what we were born into.
