Our family had the BEST time in Spokane at the For King and Country concert the other day!!! Wow! What an amazing experience! We even had the privilege to meet Joel and Luke Smallbone after the concert too! Can’t wait to go to another one of their concerts in the future! #rebeccastjames #forkingandcountry #forkingandcountryconcert #joelsmallbone #lukesmallbone by @jasonbuscema

This senior session with Ryland is one of my favorites. He's an amazing guy and the family wanted to do some unique shots of him in his element, running production at @oneplacechurch .

This is spring break in the California desert.

It’s pushing 80° by 6:30 am and over 100° during the peak of the day. My kind of weather! We’ve been in the pool pretty much nonstop since we got here. We come up with lots of games to play, various breath-holding contests, and the kids try to beat me in the water. They know they can’t, as I grew up in the water. It drives them crazy and I love it! There’s not much I can beat my kids at anymore, so I’ll gladly take it.

The kids walk to get ice cream every day, sometimes more than once. We’re barefoot all the time, and rarely have a shirt on. Shoes consist of flip flops.

This spot in the desert boasts bighorn rams that come down from the hills, stroll across the golf course, and sometimes get into it with each other. It sounds like gunfire when they strike one another with their horns. We stop and watch them, just like visitors watch the deer and other wildlife at our house.

The sunsets out here in the desert are unreal. It’s hot, and the sun is very intense, especially for a bunch of pale-skinned folks from way up north.

We’re outside from morning to bedtime. Limited to no screens, no schedule, just great family time in a beautiful and warm environment.

I need this more than I realize. My family knows full well how much I struggle with the lack of sunshine. It’s obvious, although I try to hide it. An Italian kid growing up in sunny San Diego can’t hide it! We have almost no plans during our break. I’m trying to slow down, be fully present with my family, and reset a bit. Ok, reset a lot! I know we’ll be back to school and work sooner than we’d like, but for now, this is exactly where we need to be.

I’m so thankful for our gracious family for letting us enjoy this amazing place. taken in California by @jasonbuscema

We knew today wasn’t going to be about the snow. It definitely wasn’t.

Our local ski resorts got a ton of snow over the past week, something we haven’t seen much of this winter. Unfortunately, all this awesome powder created prime avalanche conditions, leaving much of the terrain closed. By the time the terrain opened up, the weather had shifted and warmed. Like a lot.

Our good friend Eric from Seattle came over for a visit. We’ve grown pretty close over the years and love every time he comes to see us. We knew the snow wasn’t going to be great, but spending time together and catching up would be well worth it.

We commiserated about this winter season and laughed as we tried to maintain any speed in the slush. The snow was bad, but the company was awesome. It’s what made the day totally worth it.

My life lesson... I can get caught up in chasing the perfect conditions. In snowboarding, in business, and in life. Yet so many of my best days aren’t the ones where everything just lines up perfectly. It’s the ones where I just show up, enjoy the ones I’m with, and make the most of it.

I’m still going to chase powder, just not this season, sadly. by @jasonbuscema

We’ve had a weird week.

Thursday was my wife’s birthday, @emilybuscema The plan was to hit the mountain together. Then the windstorm knocked out power and shut it down. No mountain for us.

Friday they didn’t open until 3 and closed at 6, again because of power issues and weather conditions. Not worth the drive plus I had the Daddy Daughter dance at church with my daughter. No way I’m missing that!

Saturday was my birthday. (My wife is 2 days older than me!). We loaded up the car with 8 people ready to ride all the fresh powder. We’re talking over 3 feet which this season, hasn’t really happened. Car wouldn’t start. First time ever. Got that resolved, then got all the way up there and the entire valley had lost power again. They also had an inbounds avalanche the day before that caused problems. So we turned around, went home, and played in the snow at our house. Still fun. But not the plan.

Today I grabbed a buddy’s pass to a different mountain, went up solo, and got some turns in. It was absolutely gorgeous. More skied out than I would want but the entire mountain was open and I hit hard. Exactly what I needed.

Four days of trying to make it work. Four pivots. Sometimes things just don’t go your way and you can either sit at home frustrated or figure out a different path to the same goal. For me that goal was simple… Get on the mountain.

Business works the same way. Plans fall apart. Conditions change. The people who figure it out aren’t the ones with the perfect plan. They’re the ones who keep adjusting until they find a way.

Yes, I will find a way to bring everything back to snowboarding. All life’s lessons can be taught on the mountain, right? taken in Top Of Schweitzer Mountain by @jasonbuscema
