On competing with her twin sister: “During competitions, we’re always warming up with each other, skiing around, and it’s very rare to see that, I think, in our sport because it is an individual sport. A lot of teams think it’s funny that when you see one of us, you see the other one—we’re always together. Every once in a while, you’ll see the teams skiing together, but all the time, my sister and I are together.”
"The reason you see us on the ground after the race is we have left everything out on the course. We give it all we have."
