    January 5, 2022 /

    To clarify, we are the lazy people in question. Hopefully, our laziness helps others follow in our footsteps. Here is our favorite Yongpong ski resort itinerary. About this Weekend Itinerary Recently we took a ‘housemates trip’ to Gangwon-do in order to get back into snowboarding after two of us had to take a few years off due to injuries. That means this ski trip itinerary was tested by intermediate snowboarders of varying levels of physical functionality. We were terrified the trip would end in disaster (more injuries) but nothing like…

    3 Gyeonggi-do Ski Resorts

    December 7, 2021 /

    About Skiing in Gyeonggi-do Let’s be honest. 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…
