The snow is starting to melt, and just like that, another ski season in Utah is coming to an end.

It wasn’t the season we hoped for.
Dry. Unpredictable. At times, challenging.

But we still showed up.
And somehow, that made it matter even more.

The first weekend of April is one I’ll hold onto. I spent it up at Solitude and Brighton with my niece, catching what felt like some of the last real powder days. Amazing good ‘carfuga’ snow, time together, and being present in it. 🙂

That’s what I’ve come to appreciate more each season. Not chasing perfect conditions, but recognizing when I’m actually there… fully in it.

Since then, life has picked up pace.

Work. Commitments. Saying yes to things without really stopping to ask why. It’s been full. Maybe too full.

Yesterday gave me a different kind of perspective.

I went on a discovery flight out by the Oquirrh Mountains in West Jordan. At one point, I was handed the controls. Bank left. Bank right. A full 360. Climbing and descending over the valley.

And in that moment, something shifted.

Up there, there’s no noise. No distractions. No notifications. Just space.

It felt like unplugging in its simplest form.

Not just from devices… but from the constant pull to do more… be more… keep up.

Just being.

Earlier this season, I met a friend at Deer Valley who’s been sending me weekly quotes. One has stayed with me:

“The worst thing you can do is nothing… The second worst thing you can do is everything. Focus.” – Eli Amash

That one lands a little deeper right now.

Because if I’m honest, this past month hasn’t been about doing nothing, it’s been about doing everything. Filling every gap. Moving from one thing to the next without much space to breathe.

And that’s the tension.

Unplugging, for me, was never about stepping away from life. It’s about stepping back into it, with intention. Creating space to hear what actually matters. Letting go of the noise so something more meaningful can come through.

The mountains have always been that place for me.

The quiet on a chairlift.
The stillness after a run.
The way everything slows down just enough to notice.

And even yesterday, up in the air, I felt that same thing.

A reminder.

Spring has a way of inviting a reset.

A chance to realign.
To focus.
To choose presence over pace.

I don’t need to do everything.

I just need to stay connected to what matters most… and have the discipline to unplug from the rest.

That’s the work.

And maybe that’s the point of all of this. May we “Focus”, and remember to “not do nothing”, yet to also “not do everything”.

A special shoutout to Jordan with Aerotech Aviation for being an amazing guide and instructor, he delivered more than I expected and I for sure will return to fly again.
