Since there are so many ski resorts around, it will be the same, isnt it?
I don't really understand why most people opt for Yongpyeong Ski Resort?

This post has been edited by Carmein: Sep 15 2010, 12:50 PM

yongpyeong is one of the most famous ski resorts as well as it being pretty costly ._. if im not mistaken it has tons of courses ranging from beginners to intermediates..

i didn't go for yongpyeong because i would only use the beginners course ._. so... not necessary for 1212435 courses lol

I opt for ski resort closer to Seoul to reduce traveling time. Now planning to Konjiam Ski resort which is just South of Seul suburb near Suwon.

Hi...
Have any one of you tried booking packages straight from http://english.visitkorea.or.kr? Is it reliable?

maybe u have to wait until nov or dec when aa starts flying to seoul, then will have more actual feedbacks. too bad i'm going in mid nov, so will be among the 1st group flying there with aa. will give more info here when i'm back.

Ah... i'm flying there end of november but not with AA... So no one actually booked throught that webbie? All from tour agents?

i'm planning to do backpacking. so far only booked the flight. searching for hotel now. the rest will DIY based on the recomendations on the website.

Hello,

for those that going during winter,any tips on skincare to bring?
Worry the weather there too cold..

Cold isn't that thing which kills ur skin. It's the dryness. Better make sure u bring a lot of body lotion there. I would recommend Nivea - dark blue bottle with label " Dry - very dry skin". I bought it in Korea for 8400 won for 400 ml. Very useful and eased my itchiness of my dry skin when I was there during the winter.

Hi. When we arrive incheaon airport. what time is it? i mean korea time.

Oh thanks..i read there is one mask by The Face Shop, Raspberry Sleeping Mask..
Wonder if should buy it here and bring there..to lock in the moisture..

seng mind to take a look at my itinerary,need some advice little bit here and there

The price at Korea for The Face Shop or Skin Food is around 40%-50% of that of Malaysia Outlets. So... u know what to do

Hahah..ok..got it..means wait till get there to buy it..hehe

Wa, Day 3 is a bit packed leh. From Ski resort -> Nami Island -> Mt Seoraksan. Dono how they are gonna make it like that.
Day 4 is ok, but expect u to reach Everland around noon time. it's roughly 4 hours from Mt Seorak to Everland.
Anyway, don't worry that u couldn't play at Everland. It should be pretty ok with a lot of indoor games. So if it's too cold for u to go outside, then just go the indoors one.

And for the Ski Equipments.. u must rent them or else there's no point going there. U couldn't ski without Ski Equipments
