based basically bunch causes deals exploring helping network online options social sports turtle worthy
I've been exploring different options for when I'm done skiing. I have the Turtle Ridge Foundation, which is helping a bunch of worthy causes around the Northeast. I've also started SkiSpace, which is an online social network that basically deals with all things based around any snow sport.
front people watch
People in the U.S. will watch anything if it's put in front of their face over and over again. I like to see what's possible, more than anything.
aspect athletes came direct kids message parents pedestal people promote supposed trying
To the people who I don't have any direct interaction with: fans, just people, parents who are trying to put all athletes up on a pedestal and show their kids what they're supposed to be like. Obviously, the message that came through was not something that I would promote or (what) I'm about in any aspect of my sporting career.
chance higher whatsoever
You have no chance whatsoever with these higher bib numbers.
babies children cool kids liked spent three time
My sister has three kids so I've spent a lot of time around children and I've always really liked them and wanted my own. It's cool because you think all babies are the same but they aren't at all. They all have such different personalities. It's crazy.
exposure growing ipod minimal mom music played six songs tape
My mom played the recorder. But not having electricity, we had minimal exposure to music. As I got a little older, we had Walkmans and things that were battery-powered, but it would have been nice to be growing up in the iPod era. A tape only has six songs on a side.
coming people radar ridiculous
People think coming in under the radar is like being a fighter pilot and actually coming in under the radar. It's a completely ridiculous idea to come in under the radar. It's the Olympics; everyone is on the radar here.
plan
If it's clear, it's clear. I don't plan to get disappointed.
absolutely board confidence goes looked moment saw
I absolutely skied the way I wanted, but when I looked at the board and saw that the way I wanted got a fourth, there was a moment of disappointment. But then it goes away for me right away. This was a confidence builder.
finger instead nice
I don't have to put a finger on it. That's what's nice about being me instead of you. You're the one that has to put a finger on it.
bunch changing leader team
He's been the leader on this team for a bunch of years. There's going to be a changing of the guard.
exciting match race results
This year, I wanted to race in a way that is exciting for me and that I like. Sometimes the results don't always match up.
change happens less
Obviously, the less change that happens all at once on the team, personnel-wise, is probably better for the team.
mistake thinking challenges
I had to think about ankle torsion, where the screws are on the ski, how that affects the forces going into the ski and how the ski bends, your leverage points. It was a challenge. I was having the greatest time, making the mistakes, crashing.
