• What is your favorite iphone app? I have not yet taken the plunge into the deep end of technology that consists of iphone ownership. However, while in the company of a tech-savvy friend I have benefitted from the shazam app on multiple occasions when the recording artist of a specific song is in dispute.
  
  Favorite peak, park, or course? Ooh, toughie. I don't think I can pin it down to one. There are so many great ski areas out there and I have so many great memories. I can pinpoint where I had my best day of powder skiing- Aspen, CO; my best day of free skiing- Alta Badia, Italy; and my best race result- Kranjska Gora, Slovenia.
  
  Superbowl, World Series, or Stanley Cup? That really depends on who's playing? as a loyal Minnesotan I feel the Stanley Cup is only appropriate, but if the Twins were in the World Series hands down that would win out; they're my team. Then there is the one game intensity of the Superbowl that is so edge-of-your-seat exciting. It would also be incredible to be at the finals of the US Open. Above all, I am a sports fan.
  
  What's your favorite munchie? I have a serious weak spot for peanut M&Ms.
  
  If you could have a drink with anyone, who would it be? Tina Fey, she is truly amazing- gut-bustingly funny and fantastically intelligent without ever taking herself too seriously.
  
  Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Happy, healthy and doing something awesome.
  
  Favorite ice cream flavor? Peppermint Bon Bon. I believe it is a Midwestern thing; it is like mint chocolate chip, but instead of chocolate chunks there are flakes of chocolate that melt in your mouth.
  
  If you had to spend a year somewhere with no snow, where would you be? Thailand. I've just always wanted to go there and live out my Asian ancestry.
  
  What gets you out of bed every morning? I have a small bladder...embarrassing.
  
  #1 skiing memory? Vehemently telling Goofy (yes, the beloved Disney character) that I could carry my skis myself while at Ski School on vacation in Vail circa 1989. Walking into the 2006 Olympic opening ceremonies is a close second.
  
  What's the one misconception people have about you? That I am good at basketball because I am tall. It truly is painful to watch me dribble.
  
  Pulp or no pulp? No pulp. I had an awkward decade of adolescence, memories of pulp in my braces has left me scarred for life.
  
  If you could have one super power, what would it be? Flying at the speed of light. I could race in Italy, catch dinner in Japan, and desert in Tahiti all before nestling into my own bed for a good nights sleep.
  
  What was your favorite Halloween costume? A clown suit of course.
  
  One thing you couldn't live without? Good books. I am a literary junkie.
  
  How has your skiing career made you a better person? Has it? Just kidding. It has taught me to be grateful for every day and every experience.
  
  Hot sauce or sweet & sour? Hot sauce, preferably Chohula.
  
  One thing not many people know about you? I can roll my stomach like a champ.
  
  Personal philosophy? Laugh Often.
