    This is a fun video, a thumbs up for the hot spring. I have traveled the world and never seen a hot spring. Taylor was killing the slopes, I suspect she has a good instructor 🤔. You two will be TH-cam superstars 😉.
    Always a thumbs up 👍

    The right side of her calf is burning because she's working so hard turning in order to not go fast. When there's no fresh snow I like to wait for it to soften before I go out but if you like to go fast those morning groomers are gnarly fast there

    Thanks for honoring Lee MacMillan. I was a subscriber of hers (and Max) for a couple of years. I supported her the last couple of months when she was being bullied on her Max and Lee channel. We connected, and shared some moments, as I have suffered from chronic depression most of my life. Not everyone is fortunate enough to survive this dreadful disease as is witnessed by Lee’s suicide. I’m heartbroken for her family and friends and all who followed her vlogs. She will be missed.

    Hey Kevin & Taylor! Sitting here having lunch with friends watching your video. Love the beanies while soaking in the natural hot spring water🙂. Snow boarding is something I have not tried although I feel the thrill as you have shread quite a bit on the mountains out west. I enjoy skiing and have challenged my skills in different resorts including the black diamonds. I recall pulling a Sonny Bono and the tree won🤤😓 lol, no pun intended to Sonny. Good grief... I am thankful to ski back to the lodge with just bruises. So sad to hear about Lee M. from Canada on what happened in Santa Barbara. There a lot of us who'll miss her in many more ways than utube. God speed. We love your channel as we continue to follow your postings. Your reflection on freedom is an essence built in itself as we all try to grasp it while it is still up for grabs. Things are changing so fast daily everywhere it seems. Thank you people as you to keep it rolling. Safe travels friends ☺

    Stunned and heartbroken for Lee and those closest to her -- Thanks for honoring her memory here and by living fully the travel adventures that you share with us.
    Many in the Van-life community are left feeling a bit numb and sombre from the tragic loss of such a vibrant and inspiring soul -- we all 'knew' her even though we may have never met her.

I understand the importance of good mental health, raising awareness is so important. Lee will always be remembered and missed in the van community.
