I don't know if it's just me or everyone, but the whole vibe with skiing is not so much thriving on competition against others as it is against myself and the clock.
I'm looking forward to free skiing the most. Just groomers, big wide groomers making nice big turns.
I'm the kind of person that when I really want something, I wish for it. I wish on shooting stars. I wish on lots of things.
I wasn't losing my focus but I was getting tired of focusing. What I was focusing on was becoming too routine, too ritual, not something that was interesting, new and exciting.
I don't look at it like that's my rival and I have to beat her. It's more like, I have to ski this as fast as I can and the fastest of everyone out here and that's what I expect.
To uncover your true potential you must first find your own limits and then you have to have the courage to blow past them.
Nobody needs to prove to anybody what they're worthy of, just the person that they look at in the mirror. That's the only person you need to answer to.
