Through family, adventure, thoughtful spaces, and everyday practices, we explore what it means to live more PRSNT.

MEET THE FAMILY

We are two professional snowboarders, 4x Olympian & Medalist, creators, entrepreneurs, and new moms building a life between California and Norway. PRSNT began as an adventure wellness experience and has evolved into a living exploration of connection—to ourselves, to nature, and to one another.

OUR SPACES

LEGACY LODGE & SPA

Legacy Lodge & Spa is more than a mountain retreat—it's a place created for connection. Originally built by Chanelle's grandfather in 1969 and thoughtfully restored for a new generation, we love welcoming families, friends, and retreat groups to slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories together. Whether you're planning your next mountain getaway or seeking inspiration for intentional living, we invite you to experience Legacy Lodge for yourself.

Built by grandpa, Renovated by us.

ADVENTURE VAN

Adventure is at the heart of PRSNT. We built our dream eco van, and now we’re adapting it for our newest little passenger before setting off to explore the world as a family. Join us as we chase mountains, oceans, and meaningful moments—sharing the joys, challenges, and beauty of building a life rooted in adventure and presence.

ALOHA CASA COMMUNITY

Born over a decade ago, Aloha Casa continues to grow as a community for like-minded people who value creativity, conscious living, and meaningful connection. More than a place, it's a way of life—where you can shower beneath the banana trees, pick fruit from the orchard or vegetables from the garden, share meals, play music into the evening, and care for the planet alongside others who share similar values. It's a space where hearts align, friendships flourish, and simple moments become lasting memories.

Testimonial

“"From day one, Chanelle and Kjersti's passion for van life and authentic storytelling has inspired our entire team. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and they have a unique ability to build genuine excitement around the experiences they share. What began as a one-year partnership has naturally grown into more than three years because they consistently overdeliver—not just in the content they create, but in the relationships they build. They have become true ambassadors for our brand, and we're proud to continue the journey together."
— General Manager, Mercedes-Benz El Cajon (MBEC).”
