All of a sudden you have this feeling of clarity. Backcountry snowboarding has really done a lot to boost that feeling in me.

I suffer every moment of every day that I am not with my son. All I want is to be reunited with my son.

I've always been into powder, that's what I like riding, and now you've got to go farther to get it.

What you do once you're beyond the confines of your local lift service can be as limitless as the mountains themselves.

So I've been pushed farther and farther out into the mountains, but at the same time realizing that that experience is really nice and I'm glad I'm getting pushed out there farther.

Oakley and Burton have been my main sponsors since '87. I've been riding for both of them.

My experience and what I do in snowboarding is really quite independent of the industry and the more independent it is, the more pure and better I feel about snowboarding.

If a conversation is not working, then you need to make a different choice. Stop what you are doing & do something different.

All you have control over is this moment. Chase it.

No man in his senses will dance.

Words are the small change of thought.

I hope to be a good role model for my daughters.

What is it about a baby bump that makes people feel it's okay to say things like, 'God! You are big!'

Obviously after such a long gap, one itches to get back to the game and score big runs.

People who are given whatever they want soon develop a sense of entitlement and rapidly lose their sense of proportion.

Until I was four years old I lived in the house of my paternal grandfather, about two miles from the pretty little village of Wallace, at the mouth of the river of that name.

Self-love is the starting point for everything.
