I've been exploring different options for when I'm done skiing. I have the Turtle Ridge Foundation, which is helping a bunch of worthy causes around the Northeast. I've also started SkiSpace, which is an online social network that basically deals with all things based around any snow sport.

Sometimes it's all about the win, sometimes it's about the skiing.

I wanted to put down a run that I was really psyched about. With the fatigue, the snow conditions, and all the things kind of going against me, I think it felt as if maybe the challenge was more worthy. I like those kind of challenges. It was definitely worthy of a massive effort. It made it a lot easier for me to dig deep.

My grandfather was very into horse racing, and I found some of his old journals and got into it from there. It has a lot of parallels to skiing. It's a fun lifestyle, being around the racetrack.

I'm still having fun and as long as skiing is enjoyable, I'm going to continue to do it.

We're exploring what our options are.
