party train-hard sometimes
Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.
couple together sticks
I tried retiring a couple of times and it just didn't really stick so, but at some point enough things conspire together and it does stick.
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.
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.
It's not quite as important who you beat as that you end up on top.
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.
I always do the contrary of what my coaches tell me.
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.
couple difference fifth hurricane spots taken wind
There were just a couple of spots where I got a little out of balance. That's the difference between being fifth and being second. Obviously, it would have taken a hurricane wind to get first today. He was pretty much in control.
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.
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.
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.
great knew time watch
I had a great time at Nagano in 1998, when no-one knew me and I could do what I wanted. I went out with my friends and went to watch all the sports.
