The ski trip was great and Ki was a very good guide. Very helpful and friendly. The bus journey to the resort was very efficient, and we were at the slopes for 9 am! On the way back, we got an extra trip to Eobi ice valley. Ki, I hope we will see you for a drink in Seorae maeul!

A very full encompassing tour that brought us from Seoul to Elysian Ski Resort with no issues. Our friendly tour guide Ki ensured everyone was comfortable and up to date on the schedule. He also got everyone set up for skiing with a quick 1 hour lesson.

The tour was great, super convenient. Ki explained everything very well and was very patient with everyone. He made the whole process to ski way easier, taking you there to get cheap hiring of gear and also showing us a beautiful ice wall. Driving was so smooth, on the way back when everyone was tired it was so easy to take a little nap.

Ki is a really nice guy

I had an excellent experience with Ki as my ski instructor. From the very beginning, Ki was patient, encouraging, and highly professional. He took the time to understand my skill level and tailored the lessons to suit my pace, which made learning both comfortable and enjoyable. What really stood out was Ki’s ability to explain techniques clearly and demonstrate them in a way that was easy to follow. His calm and positive attitude helped build my confidence on the slopes, even when I was struggling with new skills. Ki also ensured safety was always a priority while still making the sessions fun and engaging. Thanks to his guidance, I improved much faster than I expected and left with a much greater appreciation for skiing. I would highly recommend Ki to anyone—whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your technique. He truly made the whole experience memorable.

Very fun weekend skii experience

We had an amazing day with Ki. He was the perfect tour guide, giving us as much or as little information as we wanted throughout the day. We did the ski day and had a great time, he was really good during the ski lesson and felt super comfortable for my first time. He even knew which other ski instructor groups would have groups of people that could come down the mountain fast to hit us, so it was good to be wary. He also politely stopped off at the ice wall which was an amazing bonus and great memorable way to end the trip because it was something we both wanted to do but couldn’t see. Overall 10/10 time with Ki.
