Sherry was an amazing tour guide during our ski trip in Elysian! She was very attentive and patient with all our needs, especially as beginners. She made sure we were comfortable and always provided clear instructions, which really helped us feel confident and enjoy the experience. Highly recommended!

Ruby & Roy were very nice & lively. They were also very particular with safety. The trip itself was good too. It's our first time to go skiing, and though it was hard, we still had fun. Worth the penny 🙂

Although i did not ski thus no need for.skiing gear. I had a nice time in the snow taking pictures and watching the people skiing. its my second time both in Elysian Resort and Eobi ice valley and still find it amazing. I just availed the transportation and its very cheap and convenieny instead of doing DIY compared what I did before. It was freaking cold negative 4 that time but still love Eobi.

This one-day trip was so much fun! It's a very good ski resort. The area is wide, easy to play in, safe, and really fun! If I have the opportunity next time, I will definitely visit again. I definitely wasn't disappointed in choosing this tour.

At first we got mix up between myeongdong Station with myeongdong culture and history station, but luckily our guide, Jason help us out and send the location to us again. The snowboarding class is super fun. Our instructor, Kevin is a pro and a funny person. The class will never get bored. He taught us from the basic snowboarding like how to wore the equipment, how to get up how to stop, how to move and change direction. Our trip to nami Island is fun too. I recommend that going in the morning is better than in the evening because it will be very crowded that time.

Bought both morning and afternoon lessons for the kids. In the afternoon, the lesson was led by Coach Ansel, who was very friendly and spoke fluent Chinese. I originally thought he was a Korean Chinese person, but the kids said he's Korean and studied in China. This ski resort has beautiful scenery, and most importantly, it's not crowded at all. The prices for food, drinks, and lodging are also great! With the current excessive prices in Japanese ski resorts, you might as well choose Pyeongchang.

Tour guide: The tour guide is fluent in Korean, English, and Chinese, has excellent local tourism knowledge, and is very patient with the group members.
Ski equipment: I brought my own equipment (knee pads, hip protectors, helmet). I only rented ski pants and a jacket. The ski jacket and pants I got weren't particularly new, but they were usable. The ski resort's ski boots and snowboards are a bit old, but you can still ski if you're skilled.
Experience: There were no problems with the itinerary, and it's pretty much the same as other ski trips. Phoenix Snow Park is really big, and you'll really ski until you're exhausted. Lockers are super expensive, costing 4000 won each time. I went to other ski resorts a few days ago and experienced artificial snow. The snow here is drier, and there's hard ice underneath the snow.
Safety: You should still bring protective gear, as it really hurts to fall on the hard ice.
Scenery: The ski resort is very large. When you go up on the cable car, you'll be amazed. Your phone can't capture the magnificent feeling.

First time sledding, I thought it would be scary, but I got more and more addicted to it! The round-trip transportation is very convenient, and the tour guide is very friendly. If you get cold from being outside for too long, you can find many restaurants, and there are a lot of food choices 👍🏻
