Fun and comfortable tour
A very full encompassing tour that brought us from Seoul to Elysian Ski Resort with no issues. Our friendly tour guide Ki ensured everyone was comfortable and up to date on the schedule. He also got everyone set up for skiing with a quick 1 hour lesson.

Easy and convenient Tour Guide with Ki
The tour was great, super convenient. Ki explained everything very well and was very patient with everyone. He made the whole process to ski way easier, taking you there to get cheap hiring of gear and also showing us a beautiful ice wall. Driving was so smooth, on the way back when everyone was tired it was so easy to take a little nap.
