Transcript excerpt

The ski season ends, I literally have no idea what to do with myself. It's a problem. I best my entire life around the better. My weekends, my weeks, my trips, what I'm thinking about on a daily best, it it's skiing. Then April rolls around, and you know the season's coming to an end, then the mountains close, and you don't know what to do with yourself. And for the longest time, I good just sit and reminisce about the past season, I'd watch ski videos, I'd I'd train, I'd stay ready for the next season, and just wait until November. But last year I got a bike. And something just naturally clicked. That was it. That was where I was gonna put my energy, and the same passion that I have for skiing into during the off season. It was like I had a whole new thing to obsess over, like new gear, new goals, a new hobby, just a new thing, a new passion. And nothing's replacing skiing. Like, biking will never replace skiing. Nothing will in my book. But while I'm waiting till I can get back on skis again, I'm just gonna ride my bike.
