I think Lindsey is skiing really well ... She had a really good summer of training.
In racing, you know where the finish line is ... So, when you are out there on the mountain (freeskiing), the possibilities are endless.
It was a difficult set that first run. I have a lot of room to improve. I was fighting and pretty solid to the finish. I’m glad there’s a second run.
It’s exciting. Everyone always talks about curses and statistics. As athletes we’re just up there trying to ski fast and hope that you make a podium or a win. I’m really excited.
I’ve been wanting to ski really fast in GS and I had a couple of unlucky second runs last year so this is just a great way to start. I know now that with any start position, I can find my way onto the podium
Everyone comes in here and is really nervous and just wants to ski really fast because their family’s here and their friends are here ... I wouldn't say it’s necessarily more pressure, but there’s definitely more nerves. And it’s a difficult hill.
I really like Aspen. I think every time I’ve raced here, I’ve been really close to the top-10 or (in the) top-10. You just have to think about free skiing, not really look at the gates because there’s so much terrain ... It’s more about flowing, moving with terrain to the finish.
Everyone always talks about curses and statistics, and as athletes we’re just trying to ski fast and hope you make the podium – or win ... I’m really excited. I have a whole support crew from Squaw Valley here. It’s nice that I could get on the podium and give them a good show.
I always wanted to end the spell ... Everyone talks about the excitement of getting America on the podium. I'm glad I could bring that to the crowd.
I really charged ... I held in there and was psyched to hold on to a podium spot.
Going into Soelden, I wasn't quite prepared
I have a lot of room to improve
It's just challenging because it's steep. There's no real flats besides the road and you pick up a lot of speed. It's a lot of fun
We never get the opportunity to ski downhill on a fully roped off, completely safe hill. It's fast and it's long
