It's an interesting challenge, but it motivates me to figure out the possibilities. And my feet never get cold!

Donuts!! But not just any donut - I like gourmet donuts, like maple bacon, brown sugar, salted caramel...

No, however, we live in the mountains and we have a fox that comes around every day and sits on our porch. We had a squirrel that found its way into the house and lived in here for about two months while we were out of the country. And we have a woodpecker that lives in the wall!

Luckily my home resort is one of my favorites which is Copper Mountain, Colorado. Big White Canada is another, they always have great snow and it's easy to get to. Sierra at Tahoe is another great one.

Thank you! "If you can see it, then you can believe it, and you can achieve it"
I also like the idea of "If not now, when? If not you, who?"

It's intense - it's full time training from this point forward. We've trained and snowboarded for about 28 days in November, so it's basically a full time job until we get through the games.

Honestly, it's fun! You never get bored.

No, but that is something that I want to play with in the future. I'm pretty obsessed with 3D printing, and I have some projects I'll be working on with that!

That's a challenge because a lot of our competitions are not filmed for TV. We just recently got some videos of our world cup in Finland that we'll hopefully be posting, but you can find a lot of DWTS and other stuff on YouTube, but parasnowboarding hasn't had the coverage that able bodied sports have. But it's getting better!

I've been lucky to travel a lot, but I just got back from Finland, and I can say that was one of most favorite places to travel to. I met reindeer, saw the northern lights, and snowboarded in the dark every day!

Some of the contestants hang out - everyone has different schedules, and a lot of the people on my season traveled, so we didn't see each other a lot outside of the show. But it was one of the most amazing experiences ever, and I've created great relationships with some of the cast members. One of the coolest experiences of my life.

I make sure to focus on my passions, the things that I love in life. I surround myself with like-minded, positive thinkers and doers, and instead of focusing on the things I don't have, I focus on what I have.

Derek Hough! For sure.

Donuts are my favorite - I don't eat them all the time, so they're a special treat!

I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of my idols. I'd definitely say Derek Hough because he's such a creative mind. And Oprah, of course!

Hmmm.. ping pong? Or who knows, maybe surfing in the future!

Unbelievable experience - my outfit was custom made by one of the top Carnival designers. It was all hand beaded. I'm not sure how many people were watching, but it was just another amazing experience of my life. I fell in love with Brazil at the opening ceremonies to the Olympic Games, and I spent a lot of time in Rio, so I loved meeting all the amazing people there.

I'd have my own cooking show! I love cooking. My favorite Olympic sports to watch are BMX biking, skateboarding (which is new for Tokyo), and Paralympic rugby - that's one of the most exciting sports I've ever watched.

You never know!! We had a great amount of snow in October then it disappeared! Many times if it starts dry like it is now then it hits us hard in January and February!!! We will have to wait and see!

I love Korean bbq!!! However, Korean food has a lot of shrimp seasoning and oyster sauce in it which I’m highly allergic to! So while over there I actually have to pack a big bag with protein powders and food just in case I cannot eat what they are serving us!!!
