When I went to Phoenix Ski Resort in December 2009, I thought that the slopes were way too dangerous for kids and children below 7 years old to enjoy with their family. Not only that; to learn skiing or snowboarding at the ski resort will need you to rake out another 50,000 -100,000 won per coaching session. You could never be an expert in one day! Believe me..
So for those who have always wanted to experience winter, building snow man and playing snow balls but have no time or rather on a tight budget to run up the ski resorts for ski or snowboard activities, there are always other options. Hurray!!^^

hi, hanna here. i'm going to seoul in january (yeah winter). so i'm still searching for winter coats. and since i'm still a student so i need to find a cheaper one. i just want to ask whether the winter coats in korea are cheaper than malaysia?
Hi Hanna,
Winter coats in Korea is definitely much cheaper because they change clothes due to season.
But when you're coming in January, the weather is gonna be harsh so I'm pretty sure that you really need a winter coat ahead
Great blog! I'm going Seoul F&E next week. We are actually worried our attempt to ski may cause extreme muscle ache and spoil the rest of trip. The Everland snow buster looks fun too. Will go for the sled, the ski..let's just leave it for the Olympians. Many thanks for all the valuable info and great tips.
Hi J,
Thanks for dropping by and have fun there!
Hi there, do we need to wear long John if we go in February? Appreciate your advice lots.
