I didn't start skiing until I was 50. My wife Lois taught me how to ski. I'm proficiently conservative.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was 50 years old, I actually decided to draw up a list of half a dozen things that I really hadn't done very well, and I was going to make efforts to improve. One of them was skiing, and I really did become a very much better skier.
Skiing takes so much out of me, and when I start a family, I want to do it 100%.
And, as an adult, I tried skiing, and I ended up in tears.
My parents never pushed me to ski race. It was my choice and something I really wanted to do. I would have rebelled if they had pushed me, and I wouldn't have had the same passion.
I remember skiing being a family recreational thing.
Being Australian, I'm probably more used to sunshine and the beach. I've never been skiing, and I think I was already in my 20s when I saw snow for the first time.
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.
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.
The history of skiing is important to me.
When I was 3 years old, I thought I was very good at skiing.
