5.00My friend and I were absolute beginners but our tour guide Hugo was excellent at teaching us and made us feel reassured before heading out by ourselves. He helped us navigate obtaining all our equipment and even filled the car ride beforehand with insight into Korean history and recommendations about where to visit and eat. Got some magical photos with my friend at the Jisan Forest Resort, too.
Perfect experience

3.00The view was amazing. If you ski, it will be best. If you don't (like me) or can't because of leg injury/health, then it could be a little limited in terms of what you can do at that area for 3+ hours, as there are limited places for cafe hopping or for spa/massage.
Great way to enjoy the snow near Seoul
