  21. Hi,

    I am interested in coming to SK in late January (Chinese New Year dates) for a week or so.

    I’ve never skied before and would love to try, where do you think would be best to stay, including lessons etc. I think I would want to spend most of the trip skiing so that I can hopefully get good enough at it to make it a hobby!

    Thank you so much.

  22. Hi ~~

    I have no special question i just want to say that this is a very great list and it helps a lot 🙂
    I have been living in Korea for a year and such lists are efforts that are making my life easier ~

    Thank you again !

  24. Hi! I am planning a ski trip for around 5 days, within the window of 25 Dec 23 to 5 Jan 24, and am booking flights early. What dates would you recommend to visit to avoid crowds as far as possible?
