What is your favourite place to ride and why?
Aspen/Snowmass is my hometown and there is a reason I still call it home! Four totally different mountains that offer their own unique experience and some of the best parks and pipes in the world.

What age did you start snowboarding? 
At the age of 11.

What snowboarders do you most look up to? 
Snowboarders who are taking our sport to new heights on all levels; Jeremy Jones and Travis Rice are two who come to mind first.

What do you focus on most – slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why? 
I love to ride all types of terrain but competing in the halfpipe has always been my thing.  I’m a competitive person and so for me I rise to another level when I’m under those circumstances.

What is your most memorable snowboarding experience? 
The run that won me the X Games in 2010; it was the ultimate “in the zone” experience where everything came together perfectly and effortlessly and it was so fun!

Your on the road a lot throughout the season – what is your favourite place to visit and why?
I love to visit my own home!  I love to visit New Zealand and I always love a good backcountry cat or heli experience

What does a normal day consist of for you when your not snowboarding?
Catching up on life, enjoying being with family, walking my dog Kota, surfing, practicing yoga, reading.
