I've been blind in my mind since the age of three.

I do struggle with the fact that I don't have all the answers.

It's too easy to give up on the things that are hard to accomplish.

The fun thing about getting older is finding younger people to mentor.

Sporting goods sales have suffered because Americans have become too sedentary.

Live your life, Love your life, No regrets... Live learn and move forward positivly.

I've not chosen to learn to read print. I can read simple words but it's so tedious.

Still, I tune out the visual input when it is too distracting, mainly in conversations.

I love the sounds and the power of pounding water, whether it is the waves or a waterfall.

It is quite unsettling looking into someone's eyes, especially when you aren't used to it.

I'm excited to work with SCARPA because it's opened up a whole new playground to me as an athlete.

I started accessible GPS research in 1994 and the first version became available on a laptop in 2000.

There are tons of amazing women out there for girls to emulate but the media isn't celebrating them to the masses.

My family, my friends, and skiing... thats it for me, thats my life. The joy I get from skiing, thats worth dying for.

Renewable ethanol represents a clear opportunity to grow a significant portion of our own fuel locally and begin to break the hold imported fuels have on us.

I feel it's most important to keep it real and enjoy each moment, you know, take advantage of every opportunity life provides, because who knows what tomorrow may bring

Growing up, it was difficult to find role models I could relate too. Mass media told me to emulate sexy singers or sexy actresses. Jane Goodall was the closest thing I found to a woman I wanted to be like.

I wanted to give young girls something positive to look up to…I wanted to give them their Blizzard of Aahhhs, Ski Movie or High Life, but done in a way that also shows the elegance, grace, community and style that is unique to women in the mountains.

I have struggled to be taken seriously as a female athlete. I have struggled to find my worth outside of winning. I have struggled to accept parts of myself. Now I'm recognizing the beauty in those parts as well as beauty in the times when things didn't go my way.

Overcoming one of my limiting beliefs, "girls are not as strong as men, therefore we cannot attempt the same physical challenges." I can tell you, with all certainty, this is not true. I have accomplished things on skis no one thought were physically possible for females.
