Having an Olympic medal validates that you can be a successful freeskier... It's like a credential that sticks with you the rest of your life.

I don't think that one thing defines me, but I know that by coming out the way that I did, sort of almost pioneering it in action sports - to take that stand - that it's always going to be a label that is stuck with me, and I know that I'll always be the 'gay skier,' and it actually doesn't bother me.

Hopefully, it gets to a point where, down the line, people don't have to come out.
