Out of the start, I did screw up. I went out into a little powder area where nobody had been before. I was just sort of playing catch-up the rest of the way, and I didn't do it.

If you start the day miserable, nobody else can screw up your day.

We still have three big events left this season, and hopefully I will feel better after those. To bring a gold, silver or bronze home for Canada would have been incredible. You have the whole country cheering for you, and nothing compares to that.

I just can't believe I'm not in there.

It looks totally appealing to kids. I always want to believe they see the ratings from the X Games and that they're looking for the next thing. They're seeing where the sports are progressing.

You could walk across the street and get hurt and not go to the Olympics. Why not do what you love?
