To outsiders it may seem like it's been business as usual for me, but I've actually struggled a lot this season to balance responsibilities, chase the weird weather windows, and keep a positive attitude. It's been a busy period in my life, with a death in the family, career stuff, trying to be a good partner. There's a lot more to life than skiing and those things have demanded most of my attention and emotional energy.
Hello, this is Kyle and Kelly, and we'll be your aerobics instructors today.
🔥 in the sky.
At the feet of giants.
My best Ansel Adams impression, although I couldn't get myself to greyscale out that beautiful lavender in the sky and water. We got here after skinning and hiking hard in the dark for nearly four hours. Moments like this last seconds, and I feel lucky to have been there at the right time.
Finished a little write up about my trip to the Sierra! It was a challenging trip that had its ups and downs but turned out to be very rewarding and cool. The Sierra is a special place to me so it was sweet to return and get to experience it in a new way.
