News Interviews

Jesse Gisenger
What different levels of athletes do you see working at buck?
-Working at Buck Hill has shown me a wide variety of levels and dedication a person puts forward to excel in their sport.

How dedicated are some people compared to others?
-Every day I see kids who can ski like the pros and adults experiencing the hills for the first time. Those adults are probably just learning for fun and don’t plan to go to the Olympics. The kids on the other hand might have that dream and that’s why they’re here.

Cassie Torbenson
How do you feel about that fact that Lindsey Vonn used to ski at Buck Hill?
-I think it is so cool that she grew up and got her training here at Buck Hill!
What do you think about her injuries during the Olympics?
-She doesn’t complain and it’s not her fault that is what everyone chooses to focus on instead of her accomplishments.
What does it mean to you that your training at the same place Vonn's career started?
-The fact that I’m training and racing in the same place Lindsey Vonn started out makes me believe anything is possible. It doesn’t matter where you come from, you can go as far as you want.
