A Weekend in the Life of a Ski Coach on Mt. Hood: 2 teams, night shift, & the best memories
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- This video means so much to me and CLEARLY was a long time in the making. Had some free time today so I decided to finally finish this video and give you a glimpse of my ski life almost 6 months later. I always make one ski video a year and they are always my favorite to rewatch. So this video is dedicated to my incredible teams who inspire me 24/7, the people who bring the best vibes to the mountain, mother nature, and crazy me who decided to coach while still being a night shift nurse this past winter. I think the only way I got through it was because of the love you see a glimpse of in this video. Enjoy :)
xoxo, Kiara

Also can we all appreciate how consistently Kiara has been putting out new vids for us despite her busier-than-usual work schedule? I love her.
Thank you 🥹 been trying more this year :)
She’s a superhero.
Right? She’s awesome! 😍❤️
I don't usually comment but I have to say: I felt your and your kids' joy through the screen! So nice to watch 😊 Thank you for sharing this part of your life, it was really inspiring ⛷
Aww that makes me so so happy to hear! I know I'm going to re-watch this video for years to come!
nothing like a new Kiara video for motivation and good vibes :) always the best to watch when I'm feeling a bit lackluster
Love this side of Kira! My niece and nephews are on a ski team here in northern Alberta, Canada. They love it!!! My one nephew got a medal and he still carries it around. He is 6. 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
so sweet to see this part of your life! it seems to bring you such joy
it truly does! Thanks for watching a glimpse of it!
earliest i've ever been, what a treat to wake up to!
Aww yay! Hope you have the best day!
Can you do a meal routine video showing the recipes and how you make your meals? I seriously struggle with cooking living alone!
Yes! I need to also get back into the cooking life, i usually do it for one or two meals a day, but it seems pointless to dirty the whole kitchen 3 times a day for 1 person lol
@@KiaraMadisenThat’s how I see it too….if a meal requires more than 2 pots I’m out.
@@KiaraMadisen yes agreed! I’d just love to see what you do on a day to day basis that is sustainable for you! I super struggle with it and sometimes go without eating cause I just don’t have time or energy to make meals throughout the day!
Amazing video! I’m in awe that there is snow where you’re at! It’s 99-100 degrees here. You’re an awesome coach!❤
@@amandajohnson4428 there is still snow at my mountain on the glacier, but this video was filmed in February so it looks super snowy!
Love this one, Kiara!❤
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!
This video is pretty cozy. I’m glad you had fun
Me too! Dare I say I miss these winter adventures ;)
Please do more ski videos. I really enjoyed it ♥️
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!
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! 😊❤
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
Thank you for this advice!
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! ❄❄
I know I looked at the mountain yesterday from the city, and it made em so sad to see it melting so fast! It has been crazy hot here. Thanks for watching & I am trying to snowshoe more this coming season so hopefully I make it happen :)
Nespresso frother 100% worth it. I don’t even have a Nespresso coffee maker but splurged for the frother. So easy to use/clean and a huge perk it froths cold and hot. Totally worth it imo 🙌🏻
I am 100% adding that to my birthday list :)
What a busy weekend. So glad you and your kids had a great time.
When younger would ahve loved to do Bobsleigh
Yes that sounds so fun!
Definitely get the frother. Il cafe is one of my favorite pods. My husband loves the Puerto Rico pod and we both love the fortado.
Thank you for these suggestions! I need to get some new pods1
I was waiting for the skiing vlog, those are my favourite. Love this one so much 👍🏻🩷
Yay! I am so glad I got around to finish editing it :)
Loved this vlog Kiara, you do so much👍💖
Thank you! Editing this from 5 months ago idk how I even survived all that lol
AHHHH I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!! There so good and productive you inspire me so much!!! 🩷🩷
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!
Good morning kiara happy Tuesday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
Thanks so much for watching! I hope you have a good day :)
My fav 😭🥰 I always see your videos when I need them most.
aww I love to hear it! Sending you hugs from Oregon!
Ah has been so long since I went skiing! Can’t wait to go again!
Same! Winter feels so far away!
I just got a nespresso and it is so worth it. You honestly don’t have to do anything special to make good coffee I just brew like normal and it’s amazing
I don't own a Nespresso at all. I do have a Keenstar espresso maker that can only make 1 cup at a time, but is easy to use/clean. Very affordable too, and I highly recommend it.
Love that there are so many good options :)
As someone who is currently hiding from the Florida sun it is WILD to me that you're bundling for 17 degree weather!
haha 17 degrees sounds kinda great since it's 100 right now in Oregon!
You are so good with kids
I love them so much :)
Watching a video of someone going skiing is so odd when I am literally sitting in a heatwave in germany😂
don't worry we're feeling it too in Oregon, thanks for putting up with my belated editing!
@@KiaraMadisen it always makes my day so much better when I watch your Videos so I truly do not mind at all🤗 keep up the good work
Hi Kiara! I have a Nespresso and I have the milk frother! I actually never use the milk frother just because I drink my coffee black so if you want it I'll send it to you!
My dad actually just got one for free from a friend, but thank you so so much for thinking of me!
The food looks delicious. YUMMY!!! LOL!! Best part of your video.
Thank you!
You’re my favorite Portlander!
Aww thanks!
I love in indiana and all we have is ice skating that I know of. I would like snowboarding
I love ice skating so much!
Thanks!
you are so cute.I always watch your videos 💛❤
Thank you, that means so much to me!
I love what you're wearing at the first half of your video. Where did you buy the outfit?
Thank you! i believe both the top and bottoms are madewell!
Hii Kiara. How’s the night shifts as a nurse??
Hey Kiara
I’m curious- Do you rent a second place on the mountain or is it a unit available to the coaches?
@@sm_equestrian we rent a room at another coaches house for like 3 months a year :)
I got the vertuo next for Christmas and it kicked the bucket after less than a year. 😢 I looked on some Reddit threads and found out it’s one of the least desired models from nespresso 😭
ughhhh hoping mine lasts or I will be investing in a different one lol
1st! Hi Kiara, How are you been?
Hi! Been enjoying summer which has been so nice!
i saw myself!
How far do those radios go? I have some and it says 30 miles but it's not even close to that. It's like only 5 miles because of interference.
Yea we can get everywhere in resort, but I would say 6-10 miles max
can you link the potato recipe
Thanks for the reminder! Here's the general base and then I added veggies :) www.jessicagavin.com/skillet-potatoes-garlic-herb/
Wait is this filmed in the summer???!
@@lisseteramon9209 nope this is some old footage I had from February, but you can ski in the summertime on the glacier here :))
Shelby spends like $400 a month highlighting her hair. How much do you spend on highlights a month? It looks like you haven't highlighted your hair recently on this video. Would you consider growing your natural hair color? In your really old videos, your natural is really brown.
I am actually lucky and have my best friend who's a hairdresser do it like every 6 months...i usually grow my hair out in the winter so that's why my roots are pretty obvious in this video!
Y do people wear helmets while skiing ?? i ski i have never wore one .
Got to protect your head! Never know when a snowboarder will smack ya, I also ski at pretty high speeds and have had 3 concussions already in my life, so I'm tryna keep me brain alive for the future :)
Ice skating
So fun!
Is slalom hard to learn? I am a u12 but i am soon starting slalom because I will bee be a u14. Please help.
@@Livia-skiracer it takes some getting used to, but if you listen to your coaches and but the work in doing drills it will pay off on course! So excited for you to get in gates this season :)
Thanks for the advice
Love the longer videos!
Yay! I'm so glad!
