Every year to Seoul skiing is participating in SA, every time the instructor did not let us down, especially in 2025 Jordan is very popular, teaching and encouraging students, talking humorously .... so that the students can in just a few hours Within mastery of the basics, care to take care of the safety of each beginner, the day was Saturday the weather was very good but really very crowded, especially children, sincerely not recommended to choose Saturday and day to come. Skiing is really fun, I hope to have the opportunity to ski and shop in Seoul again next time🥰

One of the memorable experiences we had as a family! I and my family have elders in our group so they can't ski. We just also found out that the ski lift is only one way (unlike in Japan that ypu can also use the gondola going down. So for our elders, they just worn the ski boots and took pictures haha

the guide, Mr K was very communicative in terms of the picking up and updating us of all the important information! i did snowboard with thomas and he is very patient in teaching new snowboarders! very attentive to slower learners and had different techniques for those who cannot do certain techniques! overall a very good experience! u got 3.5hrs of free time after getting the snowboard lesson which is more than enough for beginners to try the slope :) thank you Mr K and Thomas. will definitely do again next time ~~
