I'm not giving up because I never had it as a goal for myself. I'm here to ski, have fun every day, try to find the perfect turn, the perfect harmony. If I go out, I go out. Sometimes it (ticks) me of, sometimes I'm fine with it. But I'm looking for something that is beyond results.

I'm feeling good about my racing. Right now I'm trying to get in a rhythm.
