Arousal-control Has Been An Issue For Me

Once The Season Starts For Me, There Isn't A Change In My Focus, Just A Change In My Tactics And Strategies.

I Had To Think About Ankle Torsion, Where The Screws Are On The Ski, How That Affects The Forces Going Into The Ski And How The Ski Bends, Your Leverage Points. It Was A Challenge. I Was Having The Greatest Time, Making The Mistakes, Crashing.

I Couldn't Be Happier With Where My Life's At Right Now. I Have Great Partners, I Have Great Stimulating Relationships On The Business Side Of Things, I've Been Really Busy And Productive.

At This Point In My Career, I Have The Privilege Of Choosing My Partners. In The Beginning, You More Or Less Take What Comes In The Door - Or What Matches Up With Your Brand. But You're Always Subject To What's Available, Especially In The Ski World Where There Are Not Infinite Choices, Especially On The Fashion Side.

From 1999 To 2003 Was The Peak Of Equipment In Ski Racing. Since Then, It's All Gone In The Wrong Direction.
