South Korea

10 resorts

South Korean skiing is short, social, and surprisingly efficient. The PyeongChang region in Gangwon hosted the 2018 Winter Olympics and runs the headline acts: Yongpyong (alpine venue), Phoenix Pyeongchang (freestyle), Alpensia (ski jump) and High1 down in Jeongseon. Closer to Seoul, Vivaldi Park, Konjiam and Oak Valley pack day-trippers in for night skiing under stadium lights. Further south, Muju Deogyusan offers Korea's highest skiable peak at 1614 m. Heavy snowmaking, lifts running into the small hours, KTX trains to the door.
