Oh hey blog friends, its been a while! Ciara and I have been busy getting used to our new lives up here in Whitehorse. Here’s a quick look back at a few highlights.
TRUCK YEAH
I have finally embraced the mountain biker bro stereotype and purchased a truck to haul bikes around the territory. Its only been a month of living the truck life, but I can’t wait to get out for more adventures and camping with the truck next year.
BIKES
Of course, we spent every weekend, and evening we could out on the bikes. The snow is here now, so the bikes have been tucked away waiting for next year. But up until the last minute, we were out riding both in Whitehorse and down the road in Carcross. The best part was being able to do some shuttle runs once I got the truck so Ciara and I could take turns not having to pedal up the mountain!
SNOW
Yes, you heard me right in the section above… we’re living in a winter wonderland. Its no shock… I think a lot of people that haven’t been up here just assume that it is snowy 365 days a year. We’ve had snow for about a week and a half now, with temperatures bouncing between the single digit positives, and -20 over night a few times.
NORTHERN LIGHTS
Ciara and I got to witness the Northern Lights for the first time. It was pretty faint the entire time, and no cellphone can ever do it justice. But we had an awesome night curled up in the truck watching the bands slowly change over the city
WORK
So… how’s work going? This was the whole reason we were able to move up here so quickly in the first place. Work is going really well. I work with an awesome team of people, feel challenged with new and exciting opportunities yet supported in the pursuit of them. Plus, for the first time in my life, I feel like work/life balance is actually practiced as well as preached.
Now we are just settling in for the darkest, boringest part of the winter. Spending our time planning the next adventures we want to go on.
See you in the mountains.
