I take risks - that's my life on the slopes and off.

Facebook and Twitter have changed how people follow ski racing. In past Olympics, you couldn't stay in touch with the fan base that followed you during the Olympics. They thought they had to wait four years to reconnect.

It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.

My mom is really tough.

Everyone saw me on TV or read articles, and it was all about my great marriage, the white picket fence, all this success and my perfect life. But behind the scenes, it was a struggle.

I don't really believe that you need to be married to someone to be their life partner.

Skiing takes so much out of me, and when I start a family, I want to do it 100%.
