As the oldest ski resort, Yongpyong Resort with its yearly average
temperature of 6.2 degrees Celsius maintains a long ski
season with a lot of natural snow. Moreover, it is getting
numerous compliments from skiers about its convenient
facilities as a superior ski resort.
The Rainbow Course extends from the peak to the base, which is about 5
km. As the longest course, it is available to skiers of all
levels. The level of difficulty varies among each course but
Yongpyong makes it easy to switch from course to course
while skiing down. A 3,742m long Gondola carrying 8 people
is operated from the Ski House to the 1,438m peak, which is
the Rainbow Course. On clear days, the East Sea and the whole Mt. Odaesan
come into view from here. The scenery is truly the pride of
Yongpyong and it deeply impresses its visitors |

Preparations:
1. You must bring your own gloves, socks, sunglasses, hat,
and sun block.
2. You can rent skis, snowboards, ski attire, and other
related items at the resorts and in surrounding areas. When
preparing your snow attire, be sure to have water-proof
clothing. Water-proof pants are a must!
3. Some beginners are often eager to try advanced slopes,
while this may seem like a fun idea; it often ends up in a
dangerous situation. If you are a beginner, try taking
lessons.
4. After taking a lesson, purchase a lift ticket and head
off to the beginners' course. Prices vary at each
resort |
