Skiing in South Korea

Hey, anyone with experience about skiing in South Korea? What are the best spots there? How cool the slopes?

Thanks for your help, good day, Rog.

Roger,

AA will be covering S Korea in the Jan/Feb 08 issue.

Before that, in Nov, Korean tourism is bringing a ski roadshow to HK to educate people here about the choices of resorts.

Off the top of my head, there are around 13 or so. Muju and Yongpyong are among the best and biggest, and there's a bunch of others close to Seoul.

There's also High One, former Kangwonland, a resort/casino development that is making a splash.

None of them have snow the equal of that in Japan of course.

I think High 1 has a ski train that goes back and forth from Seoul and the ski area. I have been on a couple of ski trains in the US and always had a great time, especially if with good friends and an open bar! Ha!

Beginner slope, High1, Korea!

Looks like a Slalom course with all those people.

Most resorts in Korea get pretty busy on weekends - weekdays are much better if you can make it then.

And about that ski roadshow in HK - it is this weekend Nov 15/16 in Tseung Kwan O.
