CharlieH Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Japan & South Korea would be the closest options, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 According to a friend who has skied both Korea and Japan, Japan is far more developed but VERY expensive. He was not sure if true for all resorts in Japan but where he was near Sapporo, rental equipment was not easy to find, especially ski boots in larger sizes.

JingerBen Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Myanmar [burma]. Good slopes, they say... and the resorts will be coming soon. You can bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldgit Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 We went to Yongpyong in South Korea a couple of years ago, very good and a lot cheaper than Japan, quite a few Thais there when we went. http://www.yongpyong.co.kr/eng/ski/overview.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I believe the allmighty leader Kim in N-Korea opened up a new ski resort not so long time ago . It's called Masik Pass and is supposed to be a luxurious ski resort whatever that means. Should be fun. theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/07/north-korea-ski-resort-masik-pass Edited March 30, 2015 by balo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinity11 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Downhill SNOW skiing with lifts! Packed powder blue labeled slopes, the longer the runs the better, night skiing also offers more ski time (do they label them green blue and black outside the states?) Much research would need to be done, is April still snowy/cold enough, do they make their own snow as well? Thanks all. Anyone else actually go fairly recently? Details?

dabhand Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 My son went on a skiing school trip to Muju in South Korea. That was in mid February so not sure what the conditions will be just now. He had a blast with good accommodation, plenty of snow and lifts. Night skiing also on offer. Equipment available for hire. No idea on price comparisons with other locations/resorts.
