We had a five day vacation this weekend for Lunar New Year. Since this was the weekend between both of our birthdays, we decided it would be a perfect weekend to treat ourselves to something new and exciting - snowboarding in Korea!
We found a posting for a big group event to go snowboarding at High1 Resort near Gangwon-do, Korea. Home of the 2018 Winter Olympics Halfpipe competition. It was a package deal including condo, shuttle bus, rentals (board, boots and clothes for like $10, CHEAP HUH?), and a two-day snowboarding pass (including night skiing). It was the perfect deal. So we purchased our tickets and couldn't wait for the weekend to start!
After a 4 hour bus ride we made it to the condo. That night we met our roommates, who were awesome people! They all lived near Daegu but were from South Africa, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland and Canada. So Saturday night we all joined around a hookah and enjoyed each others company.

Since it was Lunar New Year the slopes were pretty empty.

The slopes were littered with huge billboards and loud music.
Nothing is better than the hot tub after a long day of snowboarding.
What a fun weekend!
The weather was perfect, the slopes were fun, and we met some amazing people.
