    Byeongsanbando National Park Winter Hiking

    December 27, 2021 /

The ski slopes in Gyeonggi-do are not spectacular for many reasons, such as they use mostly fake snow, there are tons of people, the runs are short, and tons of other things that skiing purists will rant about. However, if you love skiing and being outside, none of that really matters. You can have fun at any slope because you just love being outside. The world is a dynamic place and not every country has access to every climate and sometimes it’s great…
