I am privileged to fly missions authorized and funded by USAF. Today it was demo flights for 2 high school students with aviation career interests. That is most of my flying these days. I don't think Alan has mentioned skiing in a long time. He has local hills, I go to Beaver Creek/Vail, comparable to Whistler-Blackcomb. We will be there for 2 weeks again this year. I am just guessing, but Alan's company HQ is in Ontario. If he is really working for them he is working from home.
