I’m proud to be part of any Olympic team.
Setbacks motivate me.
You can get a big gust of wind, and your Olympics are over.
It seems kind of silly, but it’s really nice to chill in the kitchen with a friend and bake. It relaxes me, and mixing is probably my favorite part.
I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to the idea that strangers know who I am. I don’t know if I want to.
My crazy training-and-competition schedule leaves very little time to focus on my hair.
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.
When you fall down, just get up again.
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.
I remember when I met Picabo Street, you know, how in awe I was of her and how much she inspired me, and I really hope to be that for young kids.
I want to be known for my athletic achievements, not my celebrity.
Skiing takes so much out of me, and when I start a family, I want to do it 100%.
Since childhood, sports has been one of the most important influences in my life.
My mom is positive and optimistic.
I won’t lie – I picked up the occasional gossip magazine in the past because I thought that maybe 5 to 10 percent of it was true. Now I think it’s zero percent.
It’s difficult to be at events with a room full of women who weigh half as much as you do.
In the winter, I’m always in Europe. July and September are New Zealand and Chile camps. I’m always on the road.
If you work so hard to reach your goal but you lose your pole in the very last run, that’s hard to take.
I’ve been to a lot of photo shoots, and I see these girls that are just really thin. They’re not healthy. They don’t work out.
I’d like to keep my personal life private. In reality, I know that’s not possible. In the present, I’m trying to pretend it’s possible.
