Largest Ski Resort in Seoul Opens This Month: New Facility Upgrades Revealed

Konjiam Resort, the largest ski resort in the Seoul metropolitan area, will open this month.

Konjiam Resort announced on the 4th that it has made several changes to its slopes and facilities for this season. These improvements are part of efforts aimed at expanding the domestic ski market.

First, Konjiam Resort has expanded the panorama slope to allow beginner and intermediate skiers to enjoy skiing from the summit. Changes have been made to the existing slope. Additionally, a new "snow hill" course for advanced skiers has been added to the fun slope zone, offering more excitement for skiers. The snow sledding area has been expanded to 15 rails, and the capacity has increased to 300 people, providing families with children a more comfortable experience.

As the largest ski resort closest to the metropolitan area, Konjiam Resort is also well-known as a popular destination for weekday office workers to enjoy night skiing. For the upcoming season, the resort has extended its operating hours during peak season (from December 24 to February 2). On weekends and holidays, the resort will operate from 7 AM to 2 AM the following day, allowing more visitors to enjoy skiing at their convenience.

Konjiam Resort has significantly enhanced the convenience of skiing. A new system has been introduced that allows guests to handle everything from booking to entry with just a smartphone, providing a one-stop process. The resort has also launched Korea’s first Ski Mobile Quick Pass, enabling customers to book lift tickets, make payments, rent equipment, and enter the resort all at once. This system allows skiers to enjoy a faster and more convenient experience.

The ski lesson programs have also been revamped. The Konjiam Rainbow Club offers a series of eight one-on-one professional lessons, with students able to access exclusive lounges, lockers, parking, and other facilities. Additionally, a "Snowy Ski Village" has been created in front of the ski house, expected to be a popular photo spot for skiers. The area will feature an impressive 8-meter-tall Konjiam Ski Bear sculpture surrounded by birch trees. The resort’s gift shop will also launch new souvenirs, including Konjiam Bear dolls and limited-edition winter cakes.

Konjiam Resort boasts some of the best ski facilities in the country. Examples include a total of 8 slopes with a maximum width of 154 meters, a lift system capable of transporting 15,000 people per hour to the summit, and a wireless remote-controlled snow-making system. Additionally, the resort has introduced differentiated services such as Korea’s first "hourly lift tickets," "slope reservation system," and "Ski Mobile Quick Pass," further enhancing the convenience for visitors.
