At Phoenix Park you’re able to ski until 4 in the morning.
So it’s little wonder that the resort is going all-out to promote freestyle in Korea.
“In Korea we don’t have freeski pros like in the U.S.A.,” XD explained.
Korean-speaking skier and Level 1 Superunknown winner Mitchell Brower was a big hit with the locals.
Meanwhile, Jonah Williams' group was busy learning how to get the proper speed to hit jumps.

Lupe and his group.
“It was such a blast,” said Williams, 19, of Odgen, Utah.
“It was a great learning experience both for me and the crew I was skiing with.”
“I thought that my group was pretty young until I asked how old they were.”

The average age of the participants was 27.

“I am in awe,” said Lupe Hagearty, 22, of West Hartford, Connecticut.
It’s growing our sport more and more."
XD said he has plans to build a Windell’s Camp-style freestyle facility at Phoenix Park.
Namki Kim, 29, drove from Seoul to take part in the camp.
“I can see and learn directly from the people I see in the movies,” he said.
His favorite part of the day?
“Learning nose butters with Keefer.”
Thanks Korea, we hope to see you again soon!
