If You're Unhappy With The

I Went Through A Period At Boarding School When My Coaches Wanted Me To Switch To Snowboarding Because They Thought I Was No Good At Skiing. I Was Too Skinny. I Had Terrible Technique. They Were Saying I Should Be A Snowboarder, And Luckily, I Resisted.

But There Was No Question In My Mind That I Was Gonna Still Go For It. I Was Still Going For The Win. I Wasn't Skiing For Second Or Third Place Today, And In The End I Think That's Probably What Got Me There.

It's Nice, Being Brought Up With No Money At All. It's Just Not How I Measure Success, So That Makes It A Bunch Easier.

I Had Crashes When I Was Small And Gumby-like That Would Have Killed Me Now. I Would Just Fly Off Jumps And Go 40 Or 50 Meters When I Was 6 Years Old - Break Skis, Smash My Goggles And Get A Bloody Nose And Go Crawl Inside For A Little While And Then Come Back Out And Ski More In The Afternoon.

I've Been Myself My Whole Life.
