Aia on the playground near the Marketplace
Mattias preparing for the 2026 Olympics.
Aside from the trials and tribulations of racing - we have been having a pretty fun family time here in Whistler.
Today Mattias and Aia were in ski school... Sacha and I got them out the door in their ski outfits with limited fuss this morning - (high-fives all round!)
After dropping them off we enjoyed a relaxing breakfast before I saw Mary-Beth for some back repair. Post-massage, we snooped on the kids skiing - we hid behind signs so that Aia wouldn't spot us and decide to cry. She was ripping up a 20 foot stretch of almost flat snow - she couldn't have looked cuter with her homemade bunny ears on her helmet.
Mattias, meanwhile was carving turns through the gates on the Level II slope.... By carving I mean snowplowing - but he has improved a LOT and Sacha and I were beaming with pride.
After skiing we took them to the pool and hot tub to rest all of our aching muscles. They had a blast and forced me to do a lot of moving around - I think kids are as effective as physiotherapists. They are relentless and they wear you down - you can't say 'no' to them because they don't really care about your sore back... they care about you swimming with them.
