Â
Q:
Â
Tell us a favorite story from a day out.
Â
A:
Â
Last season I went up to a remote backcountry hut called Blanket Glacier Chalet with my dad and my brother. We ski toured for three days and lapped some really good terrain with some great pow. I remember hooting and hollering while ripping through the trees skiing behind my dad, that was just the best.
Â
Q:
Â
How do you up your game year after year?
Â
A:
Â
I attempt to try something new on my skis every year, whether that's being more creative with my line choice, working on my style, trying a new trick or incorporating natural features into my line.
Â
Q:
Â
Who are your heroes? Who do you look up to?
Â
A:
Â
I look up to anyone who is at the top of their game, whether it's an athlete, an actor, a scientist, a designer or a musician, I am inspired by anyone who is unique, creative and pushing the boundaries at what they do.
Â
Q:
Â
What haven't you accomplished that you aspire to do in your lifetime?
Â
A:
Â
I would like to start a foundation that enables girls to get into the outdoors. Not everyone has the funds, opportunity, or the confidence to get involved in sports especially a sport as expensive as skiing. I think it is important to encourage the younger generation to get outside.
Â
Q:
Â
If there is any love-hate relationship with any aspect of what you do, can you describe what that is?
Â
A:
Â
Every year we lose friends to the mountains, and that makes me question if what we do is worth it. Dealing with death and injury is an on-going battle in this sport.
