The 2023/24 ski season is underway in Korea, opening dates as follows:
Yongpyong 24th November
Phoenix Park 24th November
Vivaldi Park 29th November
Welli Hilli Park 1st December
Elysian Gangchon 1st December
Alpensia 2nd December
O2 7th December
High1 8th December
Another one bites the dust: Bears Town isn’t opening this season, see here for recent pics
Also Oak Valley aren’t operating their main lift this season, so I really don’t recommend going there unless you’re a complete beginner and you’re staying in Wonju.


Hi.. Would like to bring my child to Vivaldi park be opened for sledding during week of 18 Nov to 21 Nov? Will it be opened? Is there any other thing to do at Vivaldi park if ski area is not opened?
Hi Joyce,
If you’re lucky and the weather is cold enough in November they could be open by then, but it’s probably a bit too early. There’s no way of knowing so far ahead, but I’d guess 30% chance of them being open by your dates.
If the ski area isn’t open there isn’t much special to do to be honest, just the typical hotel facilities, restaurants etc
