It's funny to have become an elegant skier now. But my drive is still the same.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
As the time goes by, you change, your learn new things, your attitude is different. For the moment, I'm still enjoying ski racing so much that it would be difficult for me to think about ending my career.
I had to work in one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world for almost three weeks. Pity me.
I'm still having fun and as long as skiing is enjoyable, I'm going to continue to do it.
From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it's all gone in the wrong direction.
The best indication is that I still love to ski on most anything, from skating gear to heavy metal.
Skiing not only for yourself and your family, but for your country, was surreal. The amount of support I got from back home in Indiana was insane.
I ski fast for me, first and foremost, and I ski fast for my family, and it's always the love that gets me to the podium.
I ski every three years or so. I don't have the ingrained confidence that others do, but I'll happily toddle about a green or blue run.
I am still a keen mountain walker and an enthusiastic glider pilot.
