Get a composter and let nature breakdown your compostable trash and use the remains as mulch for your plants.

Climate change poses a far greater threat to the outdoor industry than even the privatization of the public lands.

When I first started snowboarding, nobody trained off-hill. People weren't going to the gym and getting stronger. Snowboarding was more self-expression, like skateboarding. It was just something you went and did. It wasn't something you trained for.

I love songs with a lot of confidence.

I think whenever you get out and do something different, like mountain biking or surfing, it just makes you more aware of your body and balance. For me, I've always loved anything that involved sports, so I've always just tried different things.

For me, vision is just about the most important thing. So goggles play a huge role in my sport. I come to the competition with a bunch of different goggles and tons of different lenses in multiple tints. The weather can always be changing, and you have to have the right thing to make sure you can see perfectly.

Everyone has different things they like in terms of board setup. The grind of the board and how it's waxed - you want to make sure that the speed of the board is right for the conditions of the halfpipe. And then there's the edges and the bevel of the edge.

Jumping on the trampoline for even a half an hour is a really good workout. You get really tired. The next day, you're feeling it. And you really have to use your core. If you don't, your lower back hurts the next day.

If you wake up in the morning, and you're feeling tired, I feel like if you get on your yoga mat and even practice for, like, 10 or 15 minutes, it's really great for just grounding you, centering you, and getting the energy moving.

I don't have too strict a diet.

Core training is so important.

There will always be another email to get through; something to clean up, file, and organize; more errands to do. Which is why balance is so important. Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

It takes energy to get energy.

I've gotten to work with some amazing brands that, in many cases, market to female consumers.

Sometimes in life, when we really want something, we can approach it in a way that might actually be closing us off from achieving it.

When you operate from a nothing-left-to-lose mentality, it's essentially the same thing as the 'Law of Least Resistance.' You have a goal in mind, but you're not emotionally attached to the outcome. You're focusing on all of the little steps inbetween.

When you find yourself hitting up against a wall over and over again, it's time to try a different route.

Snowboarding has really shaped the person I've become, and I consider every moment a good one because every one has led me to where I am now.

Change can be uncomfortable and scary. But I believe change exists to teach us to appreciate and enjoy the right now.

I'm a competitor, and since I was 2 years old, I have always wanted to be the best at whatever I was doing.

When I first started snowboarding, it was something that was only really done in the winter. Mount Hood in Oregon was the magical exception.

Our job as pros is to walk a very fine line: be the best but stay healthy so you can continue to progress and be at the top. You can't push the sport and yourself if you're always hurt.

Being at the top means never being satisfied with what you're comfortable with - comfortable means you've stopped pushing, and you're either going to get passed, or you already have been. But if you're constantly pushing yourself, then you're exposing yourself to falls and injuries.

Over the course of my 13-year career, I've had a lot of concussions, and yet, because I'm no longer competing or suffering from concussion symptoms, I felt like I was in the clear. The reality, though, is that I get concussions far more easily, and my symptoms last far longer than ever before.

I'm a two-time Olympian, but ever since I was a little girl, the Olympic dream has influenced me.

Meditating, even for a little bit, is better than nothing.

Meditation isn't necessarily this magical experience where we don't ever have thoughts.

I grew up snowboarding in two of the best states for the sport: Colorado and Utah. The world-class ski mountains in these neighboring states were key factors that allowed me to represent our country in two Olympics and numerous X Games.

I like eating small meals frequently throughout the day, it helps me keep up my metabolism and get more out of my training.

We need more balance in the world - more balance of the feminine and the masculine.

When you start to find balance, then you start to ask more important questions, like, 'Who am I really?' That's when you start seeing that every single person around you is a human being just doing the best that they can.

It took me a long time to figure out how to deal with pressure.

The first few years I was competing, I'd ride so well in practice, then choke and fall in competition. Now I take a deep breath and say, 'Look at me. I'm outside. I'm doing what I love.' Still, nothing's matched the pressure I felt standing at the top of the halfpipe for the first time at the Olympics.

I'm very competitive.

It sucks. When you're a woman in sports, people want you to show some skin.

It's okay to feel nervous before a competition because it means you care about doing well.

I run on the beach, surf, and bike.

Have a specific goal every time you hit the gym; this way, your workouts have built-in purpose.

The programs I do with my trainer are amazing for overall strength and have a major focus on building my core. We do a lot of unique exercises that shake up the nervous system, which builds my balance and propreception. That's really important for my sport.

If you take minutes a day to take care of your mouth, the odds are you'll take the next steps needed to take care of your whole body, like exercising and eating healthy. It's a building block for other healthy habits.

As a professional snowboarder, my goal is to educate and create awareness around the issues we're facing with climate change.

While everyone's purpose may be different, with social media we all have that platform to create the change we want to see in the world, and I spend a lot of time encouraging others to step up and use theirs.

What most people don't realize is that in snowboarding, there are two different aspects: the filming side and the competition side. The filming side is when snowboarders spend the entire winter season trying to document the best, most progressive and innovative riding of the year.

The Olympics have always been very special to me.

Getting older, getting married, buying a house, becoming a different person... I had to figure out what my new motivations, inspirations, and goals were.

I've always had bigger legs and butt; it's just the way I'm built. Over time, I realized that they were blessings because that foundation - my legs and butt - is what helps me flip 12 feet above an icy halfpipe.

Being involved in sports, you think less about how your body looks and more how it performs.

After the Winter Olympics in 2006, I realized I had a platform to speak about causes that were important to me - and people would listen.

As a professional snowboarder, my livelihood obviously depends on snow. And for me, traveling around the world, chasing the snow, I see the effects of climate change first hand. You can tell the difference.

Every year, I push myself to do something different - and push the boundaries a little bit more.
