Someone has to do it. I'm glad it's him.

I know I'm in the finals and that's good. It's going to be fun no matter where I end up. It's great saying I made it to the Olympics.

To everyone at Sierra-at-Tahoe, thank you for helping me live my dream. Thank you, Lake Tahoe, for your support. And, most of all, thank you, God, for giving me the talent and opportunity to represent Lake Tahoe and the U.S.A.

My training is basically for dialing in my style and my airs, cleaning everything up and pushing myself to go faster in the bumps. John Rice has pretty much given me his mountain. He not only gave me a pass, but the whole mountain to use for training. I am very blessed to have such an amazing ski area as my backyard.
