I'm pretty relaxed and chill right now and definitely ready to ski this hill. I'm just trying to get myself prepped and ready to go.

It's not going to be easy, that's for sure. If I ski the way I am capable of skiing, on this kind of hill, it could be a good day.

I thought I had some good speed going in the top section and then I shut it down pretty hard and put myself out of the top 30. But at least I'll know what I finished right away. I'll either be happy or sad when I come across the finish line tomorrow because all the top guys are (starting) in front of me.

It's tough. There's a lot of terrain, it's steep, it's icy. This is what you want. It makes you wake up and charge.

I'd like to be wearing the red (leader's) bib in downhill.
