this place.
Just one tip if you go... if you take the shuttle bus service, be sure and secure the return ticket as soon as you arrive at the resort. I believe you just need to put your name on the list for the first bus.
If we do ski, we are not committed necessarily to go to the future Olympics site. Are there any closer sites to Seoul, then the one in the link?
We will be staying at the JW Marriott - how far is it from the bus stop, and can one go by subway to the bus stop from the JW Marriott?
A few years ago, we went to Salzburg Austria in the winter time, and skied there. It was, as you can imagine, extremely good skiing. However, you are saying that the skiing, for now, is not so good - are there tourists from North America who come to South Korea in the winter time, who would want to ski?
