Jisan Forest Ski Resort

There are two solid reasons to visit Jisan Forest Ski Resort. First, it takes only 40 minutes from the Gangnam area by car. Second, they provide the Sunkid conveyor lift for beginners and kids. Jisan Ski Resort will be a great choice for you if you go skiing with your kids.

However, if you are an advanced skier or snowboarder, you might be slightly disappointed by the short slope length. Nevertheless, the accessibility from Gangnam and the beginner-friendly conveyor lift are great advantages.

They turned the Saturn ski slope to a luge track in Edenvalley Luge Track in 2018. And many people visit the resort to enjoy the 2.4km world’s longest louge slope.

Due to the warm weather in the south, the opening period is very short. I recommend you check the opening dates and hours before you go.

Oak Valley Ski Resort

Oak Valley Ski Resort is 3 minutes away from the Seo-Wonju IC of Yeongdong Expressway, and it takes about an hour to get to the resort from Gangnam station by car.

The resort has 7 slopes consisting of 1 beginner, 4 intermediate, and 2 advanced courses. Beginner slopes are gentle, making it a popular ski resort for beginners. However, it is unfortunate that only 3 courses out of 7 slopes are being operated at the moment (in December 2021). I hope they open all the slopes soon.

Additionally, they are running a sled slope for kids which is next to the condominium, and a smelt fishing experience.

If you are looking for a nearby attraction, I strongly recommend the Museum SAN. It’s a museum designed by world-renowned architect Tadao Ando and became the most famous must-visit place in Wonju.

Winter Weather and Snow in Korea

Although all four seasons in Korea are very enjoyable for different reasons for a tourist, winter in Korea is something special. If you’re a person who loves winters and snow, then Korea should definitely be on your list of places to visit in the cold period.

Snowfall happens in Seoul in the month of December, January, and February. If you plan your trip for the winter, try going in late November or December. Because that’s when the city gets blessed with snowfalls and showers of a snowflake.

Seoul is one of those cities which can get extremely bone-chilling cold with cold breezes blowing with a light ray of sunshine and a cloudy sky. The water of the rivers also freezes when the temperature drops below the freezing point.

The cold season hits different areas of Korea with various lower temperatures from late November until early March. The temperature remains from -3 to -6 but can even drop down to -10 at times. Winters in Korea are windy and dry, but that shouldn’t stop you from having a good time.  If you want to know more about the weather, temperature, and precipitation, read Korea weather & temperature article.

Visiting Seoul just in time to see it transformed into a wonderful winter land is going to take proper planning and booking your tickets earlier in the year. Discover here for more interesting things to do in winter in Seoul.
