It's an expérience you will not regret. This was my first time snowboarding outdoor and I was not disappointed in taking the decision to do this activity. Just keep in mind, the price includes your snowboarding or skiing equipment minus the helmet, goggles, and gloves. Which you can rent once you get there.
Do NOT recommend

The intended meetup location was Myeongdong Subway Station Exit no 2 at 10:30 AM. I arrived 40 minutes prior and waited 10 minutes beyond the intended meetup time -- in the freezing weather, no less. There was no shuttle bus, no vehicle, no tour guide in the area at that time. I sent a message to the tour guide 16 minutes after my arrival to ensure details didn't change. The tour guide responded at 10:35 AM, 27 minutes later, claiming to be waiting and having "called many times". The tour guide was unprofessional (e.g. "u" versus "you"), hardly choosing to or failing to communicate, and unable to accommodate my needs. They were heavily reliant on whats app to the point where it was the "end all, be all" so to speak, and when I requested to reschedule, I was met with no response -- to this day. The experience I described is completely unacceptable. If you're looking for constructive criticism, it's very clear that your staff needs to be professional, punctual, accommodating, well-equipped, and communicate in a timely manner -- or in general.

Went on my first skiing trip 1 hour from Seoul. Hugo was our Tour Guide and he did a excellent job. Seoul is a big City so can be difficult at first to understand where places are. Received messages and emails to meet at which exit 2 at the Train Station. Hugo was on time and even approached us. Clear instructions on how the day would go and helpful throughout the day. Hugo has a good understanding of English and can communicate extremely fluently. Thanks again Hugo
Thank you Hugo!

Hugo was great! He answered all our questions, was very helpful and thorough when explaining the ski lesson and touring Korea on the way! Not only did he make sure that we were okay but also gave us other options throughout the tour. I would definitely recommend doing this. Best part of my Korea trip was skiing! I already recommended this trip to my other friends visiting Korea next week and next month! Again thank you so much Hugo for being our tour guide!
Awesome ski tour with Erica!

My family and I had lots of fun at the Gangchon Elysian Ski Resort and it was all thanks to Erica. She brought us to the resort with ease and it was a smooth trip overall. Note: Do look for the guide and a bus at the start of the tour as there are other tours from Klook there at the same exit of the station. We were confused at the start haha. Thanks Erica! We will look forward to seeing you again the next time we come to Seoul. Happy new year!

The tour was great and we had so much fun. Ms. Youn taught us to ski very well so we can enjoy the resort. She knew very well what she was talking about. However, I wish we had more time in the resort but overall it was a wonderful tour and deserves five stars.
