Getting to the top and the joy of standing on top, and then the adrenaline on going down, and then the kind of overwhelming emotions that I get at the bottom. That whole process is really addicting, and makes me feel alive.”

“First and foremost, I've realized that I've been snowboarding for many years, and the biggest high that I get is when I really cut myself off from society, to really know the mountain.

And those families for generations have maintained themselves in positions of power. Latin America founded itself on everyone being equal, but in reality we aren't.”
