Guest Speaker: Picabo Street

• Picabo talks about how surreal it is that she's done as much as she has.
• Spends her time raising her boys.
• Thinks it's cool that she can bring back some of her past.
• Story about Ski Patrol Griffin...
• Opening scene is picabo talking about her childhood in Triumph Idaho.
• Wants to get the point across that she is a caring person, but can set it aside to win a race and be determined.
• Before the run story could prove to be more important than the actual run.

It was so awesome meeting Picabo... I've seen countless interviews with her, and even watched some of her home movies, and races. It was really cool to meet her in person. She was so down to earth, and very comfortable to talk to. I feel like these are things we need to bring out in our movie.
