    Hey Kiara, I just wanna say how you have literally been inspiring me to get back into skiing!! Today I just found out that I'm allowed to go skiing now when I didn't think I would be able to after my spinal surgery for a really long time. My mom is going to help me get back into it, and I wanna say that that's partially because of you!! I have been loving your skiing vlogs lately, and all the ski content has really helped encourage me to try and get back into skiing for the first time in so long

My oldest niece represented Alberta in the “Alberta winter games”. I got to see her ski. It was her first season. She got 32/40!!! She’s 13! She started late, but lovessssss it

    Awesome vlog, Kiara! Seeing this made me cool off as I been dealing with heat & humidity where I live in Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada! Now we are getting remnants of what was Hurricane Beryl tonight into Friday with rain, much needed of course, as we need the rain! And then the heat & humidity returns on the weekend & beyond! Guess the Farmers Almanac & the forecasters were right on on what we were getting this summer, basically a repeat of last summer with warmth at times & then rain & storms at times! 😊❤

    It's so funny to see the cold and snow when it's been so warm here and Mt Hood is losing most of it's snow! Thanks for taking us behind the scenes of your ski coaching again. I've wondered if you drive back to PDX everytime. It's nice that you have a place to stay on the mountain! I have not tried Snowshoeing, but it looks like a lot of fun! ❄❄

    The frother is really nice because you can froth cold or hot and it makes the platters perfectly. I highly recommend the sample packs because you can try different types of pods and see what you like. I really did not like the ice coffee pods and really enjoy any of the double shot pods

    Hey! I’ve had the Nespresso for a while now. You wouldn’t need a frother, the espresso shot comes out pretty frothy, just add milk and you’ll be good.
    I highly recommend Altessio pods for a creamy latte, both hot and cold. Tastes amazing. I also recommend the Nutpods creamer (vanilla) for a pretty cafe standard latte!
