Hi, your blog is very useful. If I would like to stay over, what is the the accommodation u recommend?
Thank you
Hi Diana,
If you would like to stay inside the Jisan Ski Resort, they also have the condominium inside the resort. To make a reservation or check out the price, please visit their official website on this link: https://www.jisanresort.co.kr/en/index.asp
We are a family of 9 people. 1 senior (76yo), 6 adults and kids. Is your resort senior friendly? Since she wont be skiing, are there other things which she can enjoy? It will also be difficult for her to take the lift, is there any way where it will be easier for her to move around without taking the ski lift?
I noticed that there is a supermarket within the resort. How far it is from J.Park? Is it a big supermarket?
Hi Mona! It will take around 5 minutes by walk from the market to the J-Park. It is not so big but the size of the convenience store.
I did this tour on the 6th of Feb. My Guide Rei was so patient and helpful. I am a novice skier but he taught me really well and was patient with my mom. Since it was only the two of us, he was flexible with the tour. I will definitely recommend this ski and everland tour. And 5 star rating for our tour guide Rei:)
