Facebook and Twitter have changed how people follow ski racing. In past Olympics, you couldn't stay in touch with the fan base that followed you during the Olympics. They thought they had to wait four years to reconnect.

I was happy to ski and play a lot of ice hockey. But I've come back because I was - and am - a racing driver. This is what I do.

I initially signed up for Twitter just to do jokes I wasn't going to do in my stand-up routine.

But then I hit my 20s and only made two albums, and now I live in a ski resort as a ski bum basically.

You have to be a little crazy to be a downhill skier.

I don't do ski racing to be famous.

I didn't start skiing until I was 50. My wife Lois taught me how to ski. I'm proficiently conservative.

I had to work in one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world for almost three weeks. Pity me.

And, as an adult, I tried skiing, and I ended up in tears.
