changed job kid needed pay ski somewhere travel warm weather
Nothing's changed about me. It's no different than when I was a kid and I wanted to ski during warm weather but needed to travel somewhere else to do it. So I got a job to pay for it.
chance coming great ski
I've not had a great slalom all year, but I feel the slalom is coming together. I know I can ski well on the downhill, so I have a chance in the combined.
racing gone skis
From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it's all gone in the wrong direction.
sports mistake skis
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
fun long skiing
I'm still having fun and as long as skiing is enjoyable, I'm going to continue to do it.
sports racing skiing
I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.
winning sometimes skiing
Sometimes it's all about the win, sometimes it's about the skiing.
racing danger skis
It is not that I don't recognize the danger in ski racing, but that I don't fear the consequences.
school snowboarding skinny
I went through a period at boarding school when my coaches wanted me to switch to snowboarding because they thought I was no good at skiing. I was too skinny. I had terrible technique. They were saying I should be a snowboarder, and luckily, I resisted.
aware definitely die focused hour living miles ski
(You) could die tomorrow. You've got to be aware of that. As a ski racer, that's definitely an option. You go 75, 80 miles an hour a lot of the time. You have to be focused on living each day the way you want in and of itself.
nine
I'm not very sentimental about anything. I haven't been back here in nine years.
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.
confusion criteria hoped moment objective positive reflect
I skied the way I hoped would reflect a positive objective. There's a discrepancy there. There's a moment of confusion and disappointment, but my objective criteria was satisfied.
competition cup
The World Cup has no competition at the moment, the whole thing is a little rusty.
