We went to Vivaldi Park Ski Resort, the most popular ski resort in South Korea and looked at what it's like to ski there as a beginner, intermediate, and expert. We also show you how to get discounts on lift tickets and rental equipment, and show the various facilities located near the resort. We hope you enjoy the video, and please let us know if you have any questions below!

Thank you so much for your show. It can't be easy. You're using your valuable resources to provide entertainment for your viewers. I really appreciate your efforts. Regards
Thanks so much for all the nice comments too Howard! 😊🙌 Hope you're doing well!
Thank you so much! This is really helpful
Thanks for the nice message Nira! 😁
Nice video and review. Thank you
Thanks a lot Matthew! 😊
You guys have been all around Gangwon-do! Enjoy your stay! Btw, Yujin's Korean is so clear, very easy to understand (for a non-Korean listener). Stay safe.
Thanks a lot Thoan! 🙌 Haha yeah for sure it's the hardest to understand her when she throws in tons of English words here and there! 🤣Stay safe eh!
Thanks so much for your videos as it has good to see what skiing is like in different parts of the world!!
It seems like all piste would be green or blue in Europe (consistent gradient make them suitable for carving though), and natural snow is pretty much non existent, but hopefully that is much cheaper than skiing in Europe and North America.
Thanks so much for the comment! 🙌 Yeah the slopes are all really mellow here. I don't think there are any black diamonds but it's definitely cheap and there are lots of fun things to do at the resorts! It's definitely a different a different experience than North America or what Europe must be like!
Hi Matt! I just found your channel and I love it! You two are a lovely couple! I was wondering though would you guys ever consider doing a Vlog on theme parks in South Korea or a series on Busan and Jeju Island? Just a thought! Stay safe and awesome!
Hey Kabby thanks a lot for the kind words! 😊🙌 We cycled around Jeju and have a few videos of our trip, but it's more cycling focused and not so much about vacationing in Jeju so we will have to return some day for a vacation and film! We will keep making videos about other areas in Korea too for sure! Appreciate the input!
I am going to Seoul in December and I'm looking to book a beginners snowboarding trip for a day or maybe two... so this has been helpful.
Ah I'm so glad it was helpful Fattuber! 😊 All the best with your trip! Have a blast!
How can we buy tickets for a day trip there ? I’ve checked multiple websites but they said sold out . Is it too early to purchase for December
Good on you, wish I can travel to.
Pandemic is causing issues to travel.
I loved and liked both of you.
Thanks so much Richie! Appreciate it! 🙌 Hope the pandemic ends soon so we can all travel again!

저도 몇년전에 2박 3일로 다녀왔을때 너무 재밌었어요! ☺️ 그치만 전 왕왕 초급이었어서 힘들었답니당
비발디는 친구들과 놀러가기 정말 좋은 곳이쥬? ㅋㅋ 😄😆😁
Looks so easy lol. The double black is a blue at most. Speaking from the US experience though.
Haha yeah you are right. It's basically just a blue. The warning signs everywhere made it a "super exciting" blue too! 😁
Monster needs to start sponsoring you lol 😂
Hahah hopefully some day! 😂
i am a Beginner and i went to Muju, was not very beginner friendly. lol, took me nearly 4 hours to get down the beginner slope. i hope to visit vivaldi to try their beginner slopes. the bunny one seems perfect for me. hahha
Hahah yeah Muju has a really long beginner slope. I think it's like 3 km or something. Skiing and snowboarding sure makes us suffer sometimes eh! Haha. If you go to Vivaldi Park, make sure to go on a weekday if possible too!
Hahahah!! 0:48 I could totally relate to that. Nice comparison for gamers. I played too many hours of Skyrim just like that. 🤣
On a more serious note, I'm chocked at Korea air quality. Well, Seoul is a mega city and winds are already charged with microfine dust particles from neighboring country.
I'm curious to know... Do you often take into consideration air pollution when you are planning activities in the Seoul metropolitan area or is it just like another foggy day?
Hahaha you know it! 🤣
As far as pollution goes, I used to look at the forecasts and care a lot about it, but over time I had to cancel so many plans from it that I just gave up and started doing what I want to do regardless of pollution haha. My health will probably take a toll, but less than it would if I couldn't do anything psychologically! Haha
Hello! Thanks for the videos, it's really useful to see how Vivaldi Park looks like before I visit! Do you happen to know if people can ride on the gondola to the top if they don't intend to ski or snowboard, and just want to look at the view? (provided they purchase a lift pass)
Thanks for the nice message abc! 😊 It looks like you can ride the gondola without skis/boards for 11,000 KRW for adults and 8,000 for kids (under 14). You just buy the ticket at the normal ticket booth and ask for Gondola tickets.
@@lostthenfound thanks so much for your reply!! it's really helpful, I couldn't find this info on their website perhaps due to the language barrier 😅
한국에 많은 스키장들이 있었네요 우와ㅋㅋㅋ저번에 울며 내려왔던곳이 휘팍이었던거 같아요😂초급 슬로프가 거의 평지라 완전 겁쟁이인 저같은 분들은 좋은거같아요 밑에서 볼땐 그리 경사가 있어보이지 않았는데 위에서보니 초급맞나 싶을정도로 저는 어질어질했거든요 아님 남편이 저를 속였던건지ㅜㅜ여튼 다양한 스키장들 리뷰로 정보도 얻고 대리만족합니다 감사드려요😆
전 여기저기에서 울었던지라.. 어디였는지 기억도 가물가물하네요..😂 스키를 잘 타는 사람들하고 타다보면 가끔 그런 경우가 있는 것 같아요..ㅋㅋ 초급이래서 따라갔는데 뭔 상급 슬로프가 나오고..🥲 그저 살아서 내려오는데 의의를 두는 런이지요..ㅋㅋㅋ 영상을 즐겁게 봐주셔서 정말 감사해요! 😄😆😁
@@lostthenfound ㅋㅋㅋㅋ우와 그과정을 딛고 이리 잘타시다니 첨부터 잘타셨던거처럼 상상이 안되는데요?🤩저는 그 한번 이후로 스키장은 바이바이했어요ㅋㅋㅋㅋ잘타는분들 보면 부럽기도한데 자신이 없네요 남편은 보드라 강사님이 가르쳐 주시다 화내고 가실지도 몰라요🤣ㅎ여튼 항상 좋은 영상 감사드립니다
@@user-iz7gn4wd3d 헤헤 격려 감사해요! 😁 영상으로 편집되서 그렇지, 사실은 쫄보라 아직 멀었어요. 😅 매트가 워낙 스키를 좋아하고 함께 타고 싶어해서 꾸준히 타다보니 조금씩 늘었던 것 같아요. 개쫄보인 저도 타는걸요. ㅋㅋ 보고싶어님도 동기만 생기면 금방 쭉쭉 느실 거예요! 언제 스키장에서 만나면 정말 반가울 거예요! 😃😄😆
@@lostthenfound 그러니깐요ㅋㅋㅋ촌년이라 어릴땐 스키장이 그리 가보고 싶었는데 그날 트라우마가 되서 언젠가가 될지는 모르겠지만😅꼭 함 뵀음 좋겠어요 진짜 반가울거같아요 딱 뵙는 순간 제가 먼저 아는척 할거 같습니다😄
@@user-iz7gn4wd3d 어머낫, 댓글 알림을 놓쳐서 이제야 봤어요..😅 유튭 댓글 초보..ㅋㅋ 꼭꼭 인사해주셔요! 그리고 LTF가 진심으로 응원합니닷!! (특히 정상에서 울어본 자, 짜유가 진심으로 응원해요! 😆) 유튜브가 아닌 실생활에서 우연히 만난 좋은 분들이 참 많은데 경황이 없어서 연락처를 받지 못하고 유튜브 채널만 공유하고 헤어지는 경우가 많았어요. 헤어지고 댓글을 남겨주시거나 연락을 다시 해주시는 분들이 많지 않아서 조금 아쉬웠거든요. 저도 먼저 다가가는 게 쉽지 않아서 이해가 돼요. 그래서 보고싶어님처럼 먼저 댓글도 남겨주시고 많은 응원을 주시는 분들이 참 소중하고 감사해요! 오늘도 풍요롭고 행복한 하루 보내시길 바랄게요! 감사해요! ☺
Hi there, thank you for the video, meanwhile, what’s the best time to visit ski resort? End of Dec-Feb too cold for me i guess 🥲 planning on the opening date, which early dec? Will the snow good enough? For the first timer and i want to have snow sliding too, Is it only available on vivaldi?
Hi there @dwiwahyuanggraeni8909 thanks for watching! If you are going for the opening date in early December, there will only be a couple of runs open, but for beginners it should be enough to have some fun. There are sledding places at almost every ski hill in Korea, and it opened on December 9th last year. I'm not sure the exact date next year though, so you'll have to look at the website or instagram when it gets closer to find out more information.
I’m so surprised, I’m used to mogals and a bunch of powder. I have been looking at Korean ski resorts and am coming to the conclusion that most of these are very easy.
Yes 100% Em! There are no real "challenging" slopes in Korea if you are used to skiing elsewhere with more natural terrain or mogals. Still fun to get into the mountains though just to get some exercise!
So what is the best favorite ski resort at korea? How about alpensia?
We have never been to Alpensia, but there is a good chance we will go this December. Our favourite three resorts are these three for the following reasons:
1) Yongpyong - Best all around and most terrain + amazing terrain park. Village is great too!
2) High 1 - Best snow and average slope length. Really modern but no terrain park.
3) Muju - Overall feels like a massive resort and more "traditional" Korean style (a bit older). Really solid all around with an amazing village too.
so you say rent the snowboard there are much cheaper than at the resort right? so what else do i need to rent if i want to play a snowboarding? then after rent the board etc i can just go play the snowboard at the vivaldi park? please answer i really need to know this thank you
Hi there Akeem 420 that's right! It's cheaper to rent at the third party ski/snowboard shops than at the mountain itself. If you want to go snowboarding there you can rent the snowboard, boots, jacket, and snowpants at the shop. You will need to bring gloves and goggles, but you can buy them at the shop if needed.
@@lostthenfound this is so helpful thank you btw
Is it artificial snow
Yeah unfortunately it doesn't snow much in the winter here so every ski hill in Korea uses artificial snow.
Used to go every weekend before the pandemic. Now I don't. Really wanting to go back.
Ah you should get out there before the spring comes! The skiing is really good everywhere right now! 😁
@@lostthenfound I got really messed up by the vaxx (severe adverse reactions) and had a 5 month recovery, ER visit, etc so I'm terrified of getting the sickness that's currently going out.
@@eliastv5498 oh my that sounds really harsh. I'm sorry you had to go through that and I completely understand why you wouldn't want to risk it. Did you make a full recovery from the vaccine?
@@lostthenfound I lost my job but Korea will compensate me and I've got a new job lined up that will be socially distanced. Feeling 98% about 6 months after. Worst health experience of my life by far. Continually silenced online from speaking about it. My health: thankful to have it... My mind: changed forever.
@@eliastv5498 sorry to hear about your health and your job, that must have been a really scary scenario to deal with. I hope the world can get back to being a place that you can feel safe in again! Also glad that you got compensated and found a new job!
"massive line" 😭😭
Haha it's insane eh! I don't think we will ever go to Vivaldi Park again!
The green runs look like Cypress runs these days. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Haha wow do you mean Cypress in Vancouver? I only went there early season once (used to ski Seymour mostly and Grouse sometimes). Sounds like a lot of people though!!
@@lostthenfound yeah! All mountains around Vancouver are getting pretty busy, but Cypress is definitely the busiest with green runs similar to these green runs in the video. Looking forward to trying the Korean resorts
@@yuguicouple oh wow haha yeah I can imagine! Skiing is definitely getting more popular these days. Seymour used to be pretty slow overall but I think even it's more popular these days.
Resorts in Korea don't get much snow but are really fun if you don't go in with high expectations and just enjoy them for what they are! The facilities are really nice at every resort I've been to as well! Have a blast skiing in Korea!! 😁✌️
Bad luck for us because south asian countries are in hot zone so there is no ice and no oppurtunity for ice skating.
Ah for sure! I'm from Canada so almost everything I did was in the winter with lots of snow or ice! Have you ever seen snow before?
@@lostthenfound I have never been to any cold countries so its unfortunate for me to see ice . In india when the temperature is about 10-15 degree Celcius its winter for us .
@@abhishekkenkaneki8372 well that sounds pretty nice to most Canadians! Sometimes we have 2 meters of snow in my hometown and it's really hard to go anywhere. Many Canadians dream of having warm and nice weather year round! Haha
@@abhishekkenkaneki8372 common bro almost 3lakh square km of indias terrain get heavy snow fall. 3lakh square km is more than area of Germany visit jaamm kashmir Ladakh Himachal Uttrakhand arunachal sikkim
Only you speak English and is she your wife and she speaks Korean only.
Haha yeah in normal life we speak Korean together but for the videos it's better if I speak English. My Korean sounds bad and I can't explain as much. 🤣
@@lostthenfound lol lol true
@@lostthenfound may I pls know how you two met? Do you live in Korea? What job you both do? Insta page? Blessings
@@eastman40 we met initially by teaching each other our native languages (English/Korean). We both work as food delivery people in Seoul and yep we live in Korea! Our Instagram is @werelostthenfound check it out! 😁
@@lostthenfound thx for the reply.... I ld love to have a relationship with someone from another place and my blessings for both of you... If I get to visit Korea again that I ld love to meet both of you.... Been to Seoul before
waste of time and money
sure it is 😂😂
