Spring on the Mountain ์‚ฐ ์œ„์˜ ๋ด„

March 21, 2026 2026๋…„ 3์›” 21์ผ

Hey everyone,

So here's a fun fact: I bought an Epic and an Ikon pass this year. Combined cost: roughly the price of a nice dinner for twelve. Number of times used before this weekend: zero. The move, the new job, apartment hunting — life had other plans. But I finally made it up to Mammoth, and I brought some friends who have questionable taste in outerwear.

On my last run, the snow had almost all melted away. Skiing down, I caught a warm breeze and the smell of bark and pine warming up — spring sneaking in through the back door. Not a bad way to close out the season.

Apartment update: remember how I was planning to live in Santa Monica? The owner decided to sell. Plot twist: he lives in London, didn't want to deal with shipping furniture across an ocean, and just... gave it all to me. Bed frame, desk, couch, reading chair. I furnished an entire apartment for the price of a moving truck rental. Capitalism occasionally works in your favor.

First visitor alert: my friend Dylan flew down from SF. We went to UO together and he's now at Anthropic working on Claude Code — which, if you haven't been paying attention, is kind of a big deal right now. The man hadn't bought clothes in four years. I staged an intervention: Buck Mason, Todd Snyder, Deeptique, and the Grove. Followed by Korean BBQ, obviously.

I've also been running recon for Justin and Alia — they're moving out here and I built some scripts to scrape apartment listings in Silverlake, Los Feliz, Echo Park, and Highland Park. 163 listings, 4 curated picks, one very official email. They're flying back from Korea on April 8th. Justin responded to my housing report by asking me for money. Using his full military signature block. Captain Justin J. Lee, 173rd Airborne, U.S. Army.

Cousin Eunice is visiting end of April too — she's in investment banking in NYC and then heading on a solo trip through Germany and Amsterdam after. I told her I'd live vicariously through her Instagram stories.

I've been meeting some great people out here too. Stanford grads in med school, an aerospace engineer, a five-star hotel sales rep. There's something about being around people who are all building something — it's contagious in the best way.
