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

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.

Man, the feeling of the make is something that I can’t put to words, it’s the very best feeling in the world. I just chase that, it’s a very real feeling and straight up, I am addicted to it.

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

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

Life's a little bit too crazy for my liking right now.
