My first trip to Norway š³š“ earlier in February was a week of skiing at
@nes.gard with
@rab.nordic . The week brought together people from all over the world, and I feel lucky to have made so many new friends ski touring, cold plunging, and sharing meals together in such a unique place. Thank you especially to
@rab.equipment and
@bobato808 for including me! š«¶ā£

From there, I immediately flew to Milan š®š¹ with my three 50lb+ checked bags (two of which were just ski gear, one was just work clothes) for a week of work meetings with my coworkers
@trooptravel . This week also made me feel grateful to work at such a great company with people I really enjoy. š©š¼āš»šā£

The contrast was stark though, going from skiing every day in Norway to back-to-back meetings for a week. Sometimes, it feels like I live two separate lives, split between my work career and my goals in the mountains. ā£

Balancing the two isnāt easy. I recently chatted with
@snowbrains about this and Miles asked me what (if anything) is sacrificed managing both. Truth is, Iāve been slower to respond to friends/family, missed social events at home, had more random colds š¤§ that linger around, and generally feel like Iām always apologizing for my lack of time. Iām getting better at managing this, but itās a constant process that I donāt think will ever be completely figured out. ā£

Over in Chamonix š«š· skiing for now, really great to be back here, and Iām looking forward to seeing how the spring plays out!! ā¤ļø
