In all aspects of my life, I try to reduce my impact on the earth - that includes snowboarding, as well.
In the past people would say, "I can only do this world-class snowboarding if I have a helicopter." Actually, if you're committed to it, willing to put a bunch of energy into it, then you can do it under your own power.
Life's a little bit too crazy for my liking right now.

The attraction of snowboarding is the freedom it gives you. With a snowboard on your feet the sky is the limit. You can do anything and go anywhere. This is not just for pro riders.

I don't think we've done a great job with our responsibility to leave the earth a better place than what we were born into.
