I'm pretty excited about getting back to Jeju. In particular for some coffee and guitar with Scott.

National Geographic Jeju Video
I was searching for a topo map of Jeju Island (anyone know how to get one?) and I found this video on the Haenyo. I think the tour guide "Sunni" was my tour guide when I did the Jeju Traditional Culture Tour way back when. Check it out.

Back to Jeju
I'm going back to Jeju in March. I wasn't planning on going back, but I got an offer I couldn't refuse. I'm pretty excited. I'm gonna try experimenting with new things with the blog this year, so hopefully it will work out. I talked to quite a few of my friends that followed it consistently. I'm so stoked that people read it regularly and enjoy it. Thanks!
So just to update on the last 6 months, here's what happened. After I got back from Nepal, I chilled at home and spent the holidays with the family and friends in Indy.
Me and Grandma Kojetin at Thanksgiving
In January, I left to work on the Ski Patrol at Powder Mountain, Utah. It was a fantastic experience and a dream come true. I've worked at other ski areas before I came to Korea. I was a Ski Instructor at Loveland, Colorado and I worked the lifts at Alta, Utah. Working at Powder Mountain though was completely different and a super special place. I spent the month skiing with my dad, working and training with the patrol, learning about avalanches, and guiding powder cat-skiing tours.
Skiing in the Enchanted Forest, possibly the coolest place I've ever skied.
Skiing with Dad
Digging Snowpits in the Avalanche I Class.
Digging Snowpits on our own.
Skiing Powder
Relaxing
Dad Skiing more Powder.
We stayed in Condos at the base of the mountain.
Snow Ghosts
Occasionally, we were Cat Skiing Guides.
Dad loves his fat skis. Maybe I should send this picture to Black Diamond???
Everything is Beautiful on a Powder Day.
Sunny Powder Days are the best!!!
Life is Good :) (Faceshots are too!)
