Despite All The Pressure And The Caliber

When I Was Little, I Spent A Lot Of Time By Myself. When Other Kids Were In School, I Was Skiing And Thinking About Things. I Was Alone On The Mountain.

In Some Ways, That's The Story Of My Season - When I Wasn't Making Big Mistakes, I Was Winning Races And Being On The Podium. And When I Made Mistakes I Was Still Fourth Or Fifth, Just Off The Podium.

I Still Love Racing And The Challenge Of It, But At Some Point, You Get To A Place Where You're Perfectly Happy Moving On And Doing Other Stuff.

The Way I Judge Myself Is Not On How Many World Cups I Can Win In A Row.

Ski Racers Are Built Odd With Overbuilt Butts And Legs.
