We went to a shop nearby to rent the ski wear. It was probably the cheapest rental period since we are already in spring time.

Check out their customizable fluorescent lighting system.

We rented the skiing gears and we were ready to go! Our tour guide gave us a very simple lesson on how to ski. It was my second time experiencing skiing and of course after a bit of recap, I finally remembered how to ski again.

After every try, I climbed higher and higher for the next one.

We were given around 4 hours. It was not enough time for us to enjoy it but better than nothing I guess.

My South Korean friend told me that at the highest peak at the resort, it would take you 30 minutes to reach the bottom for a full skiing experience.

You can see the ice melting as it was about time that the close down the skiing activity as they were already heading into spring.

As we were approaching the evening, we can see a very thick fog / mist heading our way.

We stayed in the Dragon Valley Hotel. There are seven choices of accommodation in the whole resort. This was probably my most favourite South Korea accommodation, with a breath-taking view of the skiing hills at full view. Really damn nice!
