I want to be known for my athletic achievements, not my celebrity.

My goal, for almost my entire career, has been to promote ski racing not just in America, but across the world. I think it's an amazing sport. I am happy to be an ambassador for the next Olympics and I will do my best to honour the Olympics spirit and to hopefully encourage kids to participate in sports, especially in Asia and Korea and I am looking forward to an amazing Olympics.

I always channeled what I felt emotionally into skiing - my insecurities, my anger, my disappointment. Skiing was always my outlet, and it worked.

My mom is really tough.

There are times when one certain snow condition is great for one particular brand of skis.

Trying to coordinate everything, it can be really hard to balance.

I ski very aggressively, and the angles that I create with my body are similar to some of the male racers.
