“I wrote this in my memoir a year ago for my Mom and it is unfortunately fitting now”
“This book is dedicated to my mother. She is my inspiration not because of what she did for my skiing career, but how her perpetual positivity shaped me into the person I am on, and most importantly, off the slopes. Every adversity I have faced, I found perspective and inspiration from her. Throughout the many hardships in her life, they only made her stronger, kinder, and more humble. That type of grit is what shaped me since I was a child; whether I knew it then or not, I know it now.”
“Mom, I hope I am one day as tough as you are. I hope I will approach every day with as much energy and optimism as you do. I hope I” will one day raise my kids to be as incredible as you are. I love you.”
