PG: Here in Austria we now have the second "hard" lockdown.
MM: I'd like to say: great, no problem, I'm calm, my Zen is centered and everything is great. BUT I'm a very social herd animal - and I'm just realizing how important it is for me to interact with lots of different people.
We're all in the same situation - and I'm already looking forward to post-corona - many people will probably appreciate the obvious more then - and these will certainly be very intensely positive times.
So, I'm slowly but surely feeling the restrictions on our quality of life and maybe getting a bit weird because I'm not socializing so much...
PG: How are you spending your time in lockdown?
MM: I'm working for university and making plans for the new normal. And I'm walking around a lot - partly to train and partly to clear my head. I've also been out and about on a splitboard - but the snow situation is still a bit sparse. And sure, you could do a few crazy lines high up in the Alps now, but I'm not quite in that mode yet. I'm just lacking the routine on the board that I normally build up with endless hotlaps in the ski area at the start of the season. And the current conditions don't forgive mistakes. I'm also already looking forward to Christmas cookie baking excesses! Cookies are also great to send in the post!
