1.What's your favorite Alpine Ski?
My DH Skis rock! There is no better feeling that ripping a turn on skis that are nearly 215cm.

Mantra - it’s an incredible all mountain ski that I can have fun where ever the day takes me.
3. What was the best moment in your career?
Standing in the winners circle for over 30min at the Torino Olympics - I finsihed 4, only 0.03 off a podium, that was my best result to that point.
4. An athlete you admire
Didier Cuche - such a long and strong career
