A part of me is missing when I can't ski, but I've learned there's more to define me and make me happy, like stand-up paddling and Jet Skiing - things I'd never done before. Or being with people I love and just enjoying life.
Facebook and Twitter have changed how people follow ski racing. In past Olympics, you couldn't stay in touch with the fan base that followed you during the Olympics. They thought they had to wait four years to reconnect.
It seems kind of silly, but it's really nice to chill in the kitchen with a friend and bake. It relaxes me, and mixing is probably my favorite part.
I really like figure skating.
Olay BB Cream is a lifesaver, and I wear it every day while I train and compete. Twenty-four-hour hydration and sheer color helps me look flawless even when faced with that unforgiving Jumbotron!
I find folding laundry very relaxing.
Follow your dreams. If you have a goal, and you want to achieve it, then work hard and do everything you can to get there, and one day it will come true.
Ninety percent of the day is working out. Sometimes I get my nails done and go to the grocery store.
You can get a big gust of wind, and your Olympics are over.
I enjoy just showing people other sides of me, especially everyone always sees me in my helmet and ski suit. It's nice to just show everyone me, just me in my everyday clothes or just me in high heels or just me not in my ski gear, basically.
I have three cows, and I'm looking forward to more in the future, so I'll have a little herd.
I feel like winning a world championship was a hurdle I had to get over.
I love skiing fast. You're going 80 to 85 m.p.h. down an icy slope, and I love it.
My crazy training-and-competition schedule leaves very little time to focus on my hair.
Mascara is my go-to product before stepping out of the house.
My mother-in-law's from Norway, and she's always liked old-school remedies.
I want to keep pushing the limits to see what's possible. That's the nice thing about ski racing - no one is stopping you from going faster.
I have a little Nintendo DS, and I play these brain games that are supposed to stimulate your mind.
I can be normal by myself; no one notices me.
I won't lie - I picked up the occasional gossip magazine in the past because I thought that maybe 5 to 10 percent of it was true. Now I think it's zero percent.
