I always channeled what I felt emotionally into skiing - my insecurities, my anger, my disappointment. Skiing was always my outlet, and it worked.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've had a deep love affair with skiing for many years.
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.
A part of me is missing when I can't ski, but I've learned there's more to define me and make me happy, like stand-up paddling and Jet Skiing - things I'd never done before. Or being with people I love and just enjoying life.
I love skiing.
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.
When I was 3 years old, I thought I was very good at skiing.
Skiing makes me feel great, and it gives my legs such an incredible workout.
I find music distracting - it takes me out of my head. What I love so much about skiing is the peacefulness.
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.
And, as an adult, I tried skiing, and I ended up in tears.
