What’s your biggest guilty pleasure?
Probably candy, or Nickleback.
But yeah, I would have to say all kinds of Wonka candy.
Favorite song or artist to ski to?
It varies, but also one of Sages friends from Portland has some great mixes.
What are you doing when youre not skiing?
I dont really talk about skiing when Im not skiing, I like not skiing.
What are you reading right now?
Its looking like its actually a career for me so I dont want to get burnt out.
Ive just tried to take some personal time.
What goes through your head before dropping into a gnarly line?
Are you visualizing your turns, or thinking about whats for dinner?
Im usually like Oh my gosh, I really have to pee.
Do I have time to pee right now?.
Any standout days or trips from last season?
Ive never storm chased before, and I storm chased out to Tahoe.
Calm down, acknowledge it, feel that its there, and be okay with it.
A lot of times I like to think about just being okay with the worst that could happen.
How you feel about life is your choice whether youre hurt or handicapped.
Do you care about that kind of stuff?
Does the media representation of you put pressure on you to care?

Who inspires you to ski the way you do?
Skiing with Ian is always inspiring as well.
What about you and your personality is most misrepresented or underrepresented in the media and interviews like this?
Whats the hardest part about being on the road so much in the winter?
Not having a dog (laughs).
For real, I want a dog so bad.
You’ve skied everywhere from Alaska to Kosovo, any dream ski destinations you haven’t tried yet?
Ive never skied in New Zealand or Japan, and I think those two places would be really fun.
New Zealand is so beautiful and Japan has amazing pow and a really cool culture.
What can we do better to push women in skiing?
I believe in walking the walk, and that the talk will speak for itself.
Yeah it was way different, and so awesome.
Hadley and I have a really awesome relationship, were both super goofy and I love that about her.
It was way sillier than any shoot Ive ever been on.
Where would you like to take your skiing next?
you could find Angel this fall in TGR’s 2016 Feature Film, Tight Loose
