The history of skiing is important to me.
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.
I love ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and it’s such a funny show. I don’t know if I’m funny enough to be on it but definitely would be interested in doing it.
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.
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.
I don’t really believe that you need to be married to someone to be their life partner.
An overall title is one of the biggest things you can win in our sport.
Being on one crutch to no crutches is a huge difference.
Everyone knows marriage is tough.
I’ve never once heard my mom complain about her stroke.
I can be normal by myself; no one notices me.
I don’t know where I’m supposed to meet a boyfriend. It’s weird.
Ski racing is not about how much you weigh. If weight was the key, everybody would be sucking down food.
I enjoy just showing people other sides of me, especially everyone always sees me in my helmet and ski suit. It’s nice to just show everyone me, just me in my everyday clothes or just me in high heels or just me not in my ski gear, basically.
I use men’s skis because, honestly, they work better for me. They’re longer, they’re stiffer, they’re harder to turn – but at the same time, they’re much more stable.
Setbacks help you to concentrate.
Olay BB Cream is a lifesaver, and I wear it every day while I train and compete. Twenty-four-hour hydration and sheer color helps me look flawless even when faced with that unforgiving Jumbotron!
I ski very aggressively, and the angles that I create with my body are similar to some of the male racers.
Ninety percent of the day is working out. Sometimes I get my nails done and go to the grocery store.
My mom is really tough.
