Beginner Ski Day Tour from Seoul: Jisan Ski Resort (Closest Resort)

Crystal is such an accommodating tour guide. She has great patience and very good communication skills. She is fluent in English and Chinese, so you don't have to worry about communication problem. The only thing to take note is that this package only provides ski gear rental, BUT not ski clothes rental. Ski clothes are separately paid to the ski clothes rental shop. So, beware of that.

Had a great time skiing at Jisan Forest Resort! The slopes were beginner-friendly and the place was easy to get around. GOGO, our tour guide, was super helpful and patient, especially for first-timers. Everything from rentals to instructions was smooth and well organized. Overall, a fun and stress-free skiing experience. Would definitely recommend!

We commend VIP Travel and especially our tour guide, Gogo, for our fun and safe ski experience in Yongpyong Ski Resort last Dec 11th, 2025. By Dec 10th ~2 PM, VIP Travel already informed of the resort venue change due to the weather conditions then, and they arranged for everything, so we didn't have to pay or book for anything more. Gogo was an accommodating, detail-oriented tour guide, who took care of every guest considering that most in our group were beginners in skiing. Gogo and their team had good and clear English and conversational skills, and they were responsive and well-prepared. Their van was also very comfortable and clean; and their driver was kind (sorry, wasn't able to get his name). Thank you and we do recommend VIP Travel and Gogo for your guide to have fun skiing experience in South Korea.

last minute booking. travel coordinator contacted me immediately to advice Jisan still not opened. upgraded to Yongpyong ski day trip. overall it was a great day trip, although journey time was longer. Alex was a fantastic gudid/coach that went the extra mile to help with booking ski lift tickets, gondola tickets, ski tips and ski slope advice. had a good chat about Busan as well. courteous and polite. highly recommended 👍

Today I came to this Pyeongchang ski resort, which is super far from Myeongdong, about 200 kilometers away, and takes at least 2 hours or more. It's probably the largest ski resort in Korea. After all, it hosted the 2018 Winter Olympics, so it's not of ordinary standards. The original Jisan ski resort was very close to Myeongdong, but the snow conditions were probably not good, so we had to switch to Pyeongchang. GOGO coach carefully guided us beginners, explained things carefully, and pointed out problems, so that everyone knew their problems and slowly corrected them. I slid down the slope for 50 seconds without falling, and also dodged skiing tourists to safely reach the platform below. Through constant practice without eating lunch, I finally succeeded, awesome! 🤣🤣🤣

It was such an amazing experience skiing today! Our coach “Googoo”, was super patient and guided us so well—thanks to him so much! I went from knowing nothing about skiing to being able to glide down on my own!

Alex was an excellent guide and ski trainer, patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging throughout the experience. We enjoyed the experience immensely, especially the great photos and videos that captured so many fun moments. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try skiing!

We booked the beginner skii tour and we are so lucky to have Alex (who us also a Filipino❤️) as our tour guide. Fortunate to have him as our instructor as he would make us safe and feel comfortable during the skii activity. He even helped us carry our things to and from the resort. He recommended dining options and especially skin care products. We will definitely book again and want to have him again as our tour guide🙏.

This tour to Jisan Ski Resort was good for beginners. The trip was smooth and well organized. Our guide and ski instructor Gogo was friendly and helpful. The lesson was easy to understand. Good experience, recommended.

Our tour guide, GOGO, speaks excellent English, is punctual, and communication was no problem 👍🏻 We arrived at the ski resort at almost the earliest time, avoiding the crowds, so we could enjoy our skiing time! Moreover, the tour guide's ski instruction was very attentive and experienced, so beginners don't have to worry!
