“Five beautiful sisters and two amazing brothers - I'm so grateful for my family.”

“I get to a competition and feel out the slopestyle course and kind of see which directions the jumps are flowing and which way I feel like I can do my tricks.”

“Meditation is key. It's a crazy world we live in. Everything is happening so fast in our world, so to take a moment and clear the mind and just be totally present is so healing. I want to meditate more.”

“I have to have my Beats Studio3 noise-canceling headphones with me on long flights.”

“When I'm snowboarding, I just feel stronger and more flexible and more able to trust my instincts - because there are times when you really do have to be mindful with the jumps you're hitting and the conditions that you're riding in.”

“Emerald Bay is absolutely beautiful and a definite must see.”

“I love this little family-owned Italian spot called Tep's Villa Roma. It has good home-style food made with love and intention.”

“I don't want to be like Donald Trump or anything like it... I'm different than some people.”

“I love hiking out to Fallen Leaf Lake. It's a beautiful spot to go hike around, and it's at the base of one of the biggest mountains, Mount Tallac! And of course, I love to hit Sierra at Tahoe for snowboarding.”

“I grew up watching my sisters and seeing kids at the local mountain hit jumps. After I hit my first jump, I knew this was something I was going to pursue.”

“Tinder in the Olympic Village is next level. It's all athletes! In the mountain village, it's all athletes. It's hilarious.”

“Tahoe is a magical place full of positive energy, beautiful mountains, and lakes all around. It's home for me and feels so good to be there.”

“I bring incense, essential oils, and candles to make my hotel room feel more like home.”

“My personal medicine bundle is my backpack that I have at the top of the course. Each person's medicine bundle is different and sacred and not to be spoken of. I have some goodies in my bundle. And my power stone is a quartz crystal that I love and wear almost every day.”

“When I ruptured my spleen, I was about to win the overall Series for the World Tour, and I was at the last event in Vermont for the U.S. Open and was having a great day. Then I just got a little too excited and just face-planted, and I knew something was wrong. I really couldn't breathe, and my whole body was in so much pain.”

“I love all music, but when I am on the mountain, I listen to a lot of Nas, Drake, 2 Pac, etc.”

“I love the paddle board. It's just a really good way to recenter. Being on the water is really peaceful, and you have to focus on your balance and holding yourself up. Doing a little bit of yoga under the sun on the water is really, really magical.”

“I feel yoga has helped me with everything in my life. Especially my snowboarding; between the strength, flexibility, balance, and meditation aspects of yoga, it has helped me in so many ways!”

“My mala beads are very precious to me. A yoga teacher and friend named Leslie made them for me with love and intention. They are very grounding, and I love them.”

“Seeing the body heal itself and come back from injuries is something that just makes me value my body and health even more. I love everything about it.”
