I'm not trying to race the whole men's tour; I just want to race one time. If you know me, which most people on the World Cup do, they know that this is a legitimate goal of mine and not a publicity stunt.

I love skiing fast. You're going 80 to 85 m.p.h. down an icy slope, and I love it.

Vail Resorts School of Shred program is a great way to help encourage kids to stay active by getting them outside and on the mountain.

When I get on the World Cup tour, I'm kind of disconnected from the world. I just kind of get wrapped up in my world and wrapped up in trying to ski fast every day, and I forget about everything else.

It's difficult to be at events with a room full of women who weigh half as much as you do.

I enjoyed trying everything. I'd never get a chance to try fencing or archery if it wasn't for this. It was really fun experience.

When my parents were getting divorced, I just said to myself, 'Go to sleep, and tomorrow you can go skiing.' I cried myself to sleep, and in the morning I was up on the mountain, and I was good.
