Life changes very quickly in a very positive way if you let it.

You start seeing all of the athlete profiles on NBC, and whenever the Summer Olympics come up, I feel like I share the same experience with the Summer Olympians.

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

I want to ski as long as I can.

I don't give up easily. I have plans to be around for a while.

I want to keep pushing the limits to see what’s possible. That’s the nice thing about ski racing - no one is stopping you from going faster.

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