I always have fun on the mountain, so it's always nice to go back out there and do what I love.

I love American ski resorts because they're open to everyone, are not incredibly expensive. They're not snobby and you can have fun all day long on the most excellent mountains.

Snowboarding really is a luxury sport.

When I first started snowboarding, it was something that was only really done in the winter. Mount Hood in Oregon was the magical exception.

I am a fan of winter sports.

In recent years, I've begun the year by driving across France to the Alps, abandoning the January gloom for Alpine winter sun, even if the ski-goggles do give you panda marks when you get a tan. As a child, I was always a bit of a billygoat when I'd go camping with my mates in North Wales, around Snowdonia.

I love to hike, fly-fish, and ski in the mountains where I live in Colorado.
