Private Ski Lessons in Korea for All Ages
Want to learn how to ski or snowboard in Korea? Whether you plan to visit Elysian Gangchon, Vivaldi Park, Oak Valley, Phoenix Pyeongchang, or High1, you can find personalized classes that’ll teach you all the basics! While you can sign up for a ski program offered by your preferred resort, I’d recommend booking a private instructor from a nearby ski school since they offer the same training course at a much lower price. These private instructors also keep their classes small (at most with 3 participants), so you’ll be sure to get the best instruction to help you hit the slopes in no time! Here are the following options that you can book online at a discount:
