I woke up to a white world full of fresh snow this morning.
I snowboarded a little over 30 kilometers today. The conditions were good, but visibility was a bit challenging.
After a small après-ski on the mountain, we headed back to the hotel to relax a little in the outdoor pool and spa. All in all, a perfect first day.

Our drive from the Netherlands to Austria went smoothly today. I left home at 5.30 AM, and we arrived at our hotel at 4.30 PM. Each of us three drove for about three hours, and we had a relaxed lunch break halfway through the day.
After unpacking our gear, my friends and I headed to the bar for a nice German beer (or 2).
After some relaxing in our hotel room, we will go to bed early for a full day of skiing and snowboarding tomorrow. The good news is that it’s starting to snow now, so tomorrow we have fresh powder on the slopes.

I worked from home today as both of my kids are sick now. They have the flu, so I stayed away from them as much as possible to avoid getting ill myself.
I’m testing an AI coaching product for work. I’m careful with what I share with the AI coach. There’s a certain level of discomfort to be honest. In my first test questions it did give me good, actionable feedback.
I packed my car tonight for my annual five-day boys only skiing trip. I’m leaving tomorrow at 5 AM.I should be in Austria around 6 PM in the afternoon.

I had a very productive morning in the office, in which I was able to finish my keynote prompter notes. I need to deliver the presentation at a client event in Paris on Friday, a week from now.
I traveled home just after lunch to finish the day, as my youngest child has the flu. By working from home in the afternoon, I could also take care of her.b
I watched Floortje To The End Of The World S10E2, Episode 2 tonight. This episode was about two Dutch doctors who opened a hospital in Ecuador. I’m impressed by what I’ve seen. 🍿
