~130 days this season so definitely a success. Got away injury free, with one minor concussion…
Learned some new tricks! Yay! Unnat ellen is probably the one I am most stoked on. Didn’t get any footy but that’s okay. Also failed miserably at my first backflip attempt (lol).
There will now be a giant hole left in my life where skiing has been for the last 6 months.
Met so many amazing people. Saw some old friends :) Saw so many sick riders throw down some insane tricks!
My heart is full of joy and am so grateful to have skiing in my life :’) Guess it’s time to get back to work and start mtn biking again! It’s hard, but I’m not allowing myself to feel sad about the end of the season since there is so much to look forward to :))))
(also very low key relieved that the season is over because YO I am exhausted and I need a break )

Turd__AuthoritySaw this article pop up in a feed today. Not psychedelic by any means but contains kava. RIP liver.
I worked with a Kava farm in Fiji for my undergrad engineering project. Pretty funny that they call it "psychedelic". It's more like CBD than anything else
I still randomly think about the time my sisters BF tore his Meniscus drunk-dancing at the Naughty Pine in Driggs, ID earlier this year lol. She was so fucking pissed the next day
With 2 friends dying and breaking a bone in the last 2 months its safe to say my alcohol intake has been significant. I started an app called Reframe which is science based for curbing addiction or for people seeking to moderate their drinking to a ‘normal’ level. (AA and other programs are faith/spiritual based and that doesn’t work for me but might for you)
12 days sober now! Turning 30 on sunday and that my 1 built in cheat day then I plan to go at least until winter without drinking. Ive gone to concerts and breweries and DD’d some friends around and its both extremely easy and the hardest thing ive done at the same time. Like i’m just not doing something. I dont do shit all the time. Lol. Anyway, take a step back and ask yourself if youre really where you want to be with substance use.

Yooooo how do you like reframe? I keep getting ads for it and it’s made me think about my drinking and that it might be a sign to stop again.

Its pretty dope. I like that its 15 minutes a day. I have it setup so i get a daily reminders around 6 on weekdays and 3 on weekends. Thats when I typically would have drank so it helps me curb my cravings and put me in a positive mindset for the evening. Its better than an hour or 2 once a week with a counselor in my opinion. Theirs also a toolkit with games and other strategies to get past cravings as well (would likely work for other addictions like tabacco or even energy drinks but the content is really around alcohol and its effects in the body and mind)
meditation and breathing exercises dont go well with my fast paced adhd thought (vine and instagram only worsened my adhd lol) but I honestly havent given that stuff an actual chance to make an impact. Overall if i can make it from memorial day to labor day alcohol free i will be more than satisfied with spending $13 a month on it.

I read your last 2 posts about your friends, and they hit pretty hard just reading them. I’m sorry man. I’m sending love your way! Stay strong 💪
And from my experience, substance abuse only makes problems feel 10x worse in the long run. Managing substance abuse is fucking hard so respect for taking that on. Good luck yo
BrandoComandoRIP to my trusty blue Nalgene. My indestructible outdoor water bottle companion has finally met its demise. It survived falling off a cliff and getting lost in the river overnight. I replaced the lid after it was melted by the dishwasher. But it couldn't survive being run over by my car this morning. Snatched from this world too soon, you will be missed blue Nalgene. Gone but not forgotten.
Profahoben_212Idk if they still do this, but when my buddy broke his a few years ago he emailed them. They sent him a new one and a couple T-shirts no question asked!
I have good news to end the saga of the dead Nalgene. The lovely people over there sympathized with my loss and shipped me a new one right away. Here’s a little before and after comparison
So we work 6am till 2 or 2:30, so everyone mostly bails then so its just everyone experienced in taking care of turf banging out the rest of the shit everyone left off on and it's a good vibe + OT

Fuck yeah, congrats on your sobriety. I think I’ll give it a try, sounds like it’s been helping you.
Really enjoying spring camp for varsity soccer. It’s nice to have something to do after school. And I actually still have good touch and foot skills along with ok fitness after taking a year off. Pretty sure I’ll have a good chance at starting and playing a good amount in the fall too. No clue about captions tho, or even who those will be. It’s nice having something to put work into and feels good. Been playing pick up on the turf, 3 trainings a week and then some days just kicking a ball by myself. Still able to get in mountain biking and road biking on top of that
Holy fuck we saw Jake Carney ripping in whis this weekend. That dude is i n s a n e. It’s also crazy seeing him ride in person knowing just how big the features actually are. His style is so sick too haha can spot it from a mile away on the chairlift
I turned 30 in December and I’ve really been reevaluating my relationship with alcohol. I think for too long it fell into the hard charging, adrenaline and dopamine filled lifestyle. Trying to fill a void. But I think I’m just kinda sick of it. I’m ready to start a more professional stage of my life and I feel it holds me back in so many ways.
Trying to incorporate other things to fill the void and I feel it slowly decreasing.
Sidenote: holy shit have I gotten into stocks, crypto and options contracts lately. Need something to stimulate the brain rather than wasting it 🤷♂️

dudes style might be the best i've ever seen. looks so casual in the air and on features. saw some bc clips from him that were pretty impressive too
he would be huge if he had a bigger online presence but i also respect that he doesn't
Be sure to hydrate and eat! The best nights are the ones you can remember. Not only is 3am Taco Bell absolutely incredible after a late night of drinking, but it'll make you feel less like shit in the morning. Have fun!
11 hours of OT by Sunday + memorial day where we get paid 12 hours (but only work 4 of them + 8 hours holiday) + the rest of next week all in one pay period means a lot to me rn. Really fucking need money but I'm also ready for the guvment to take out most my OT like they always do. America!

Some friends came by my office unexpectedly today. I was in a meeting so I waved them off. Got back to Never Gonna Give You Up playing on a ten hour loop and they were gone.

Fuuuuuck no! That would shift out culture the wrong way. People would try to work more OT. 40+ is already insane for a work life balance in a developed country. Theres 168 hours a week assuming you sleep 8 hours a day that leaves 112. That means your spending 36% of your time work towards someone else’s dream. Of the 72 waking hours you have left in the week, a lot of that is spent getting ready for work, commuting to work, and doing chores etc. theres already not enough time for a life.
So im salaried so I get my shit done ASAP and dip lol. That being said, i have 124 employees that work for me in my department. This year we are shifting to 4 9 hour shifts so everyone gets a 3-day week to do whatever they please.(some will get second jobs if they please others will play in the mountains etc) Im hoping this improves work life balance and in return has more productive employees while at work and work is more enjoyable
Ah man a guide died at one of the local crags. Anchor failure is all I could find about it which is extremely concerning to say the least. Seemed like a good guy with wife and kids. Shitty all around.
Climbing deaths are also extremely weird where you need to respect the family and privacy, but also want to find out what actually happened and see if it is preventable in the future or can be a learning moment for others.
GrandThingsWait is this really a thing at your school? I have deff smoked in frats/at frat parties/with brothers
The frats at our school have issues. Supposedly if their party gets busted and there’s drugs or liquor there they get in a ton of trouble. Idrk though, went to a couple frat parties freshman year but didn’t dig em and haven’t been back in years. They certainly got mad when I smoked weed I’ll tell ya that.

They can get in serious issues with the university and nationals. I was in Pi Phi in undergrad so I spent quite a bit of time at Sigma Chi, frats have less strict rules than sororities but they’ve certainly cracked down after one was banned a few years ago.
