If you’re in Korea and looking to get in some late season turns in March, you still have a few options.
Most resorts closed on March 1st (or in late February in some cases), but you can still hit the following:
Phoenix Park (closing Sunday 7th)
High1 (closing Sunday 14th)
Welli Hilli Park (Sunday 14th)
Yongpyong (Sunday 21st)
Discount tickets are available so you should only need to pay around 20k KRW for a pass. I’d try and do it before the 14th though – if you go to Yongpyong in that final week, they only have a few runs scheduled to be open and it frankly isn’t worth the journey for a few slushy runs.
My friends and I go to South korea on 14 – 18 March 2024. And we would like to go skiing at Yongpyong ski resort, so I would like to
know closing date of Yongpyong ski resort in 2024.
PS. We are the beginner at skiing.
hi, sorry for the slow reply, I’m afraid they’re closing on March 10th
I really need to know if High1 is open for skiing during first week of March 2024. Need to secure my booking soon!
Hi Salman, sorry for the slow reply, it depends on the conditions but it looks like they’re closing on March 10th
Hi there are these closing dates for the ski season ending in March 2024?
Hi Megan, no this is an older post.
For 2024 most of the resorts are closing Sunday March 3rd, with the bigger resorts (High1, Yongpyong, Welli Hilli) also open for the following weekend.
hi, is there any ski resort open until end of march 2024? just would like some sledding or tubing for the kids. we arrive march 23, 2024 in seoul. thanks!
For future reference, the last week of March is too late for Korean ski resorts unless they have an extremely good season with heavy snowfall
Any expectations or initial guidance from the S. Korea resorts (High1 in particular as I believe it’s altitude enables it to stay open the longest) for 2025 closure?
Hi Ben,
Still too early to say, all depends on when the temperature climbs. The late closers are Phoenix Park, Welli Hilli, Yongpyong, and yes High1. Though the last one to close is usually Yongpyong actually, I guess as it’s easier to get to than High1… but Yongpyong in the final week is basically just a few slushy runs, so not really worth the effort even with the ticket price slashed.
Best guess for Yongpyong closing date is March 9th or 16th, though could be as early as the 2nd or as late as the 23rd
Thanks so much, Simon! How far out would you expect the resorts will publish for sure and when would the deals be best? Imagine the last few days there won’t be any issue with availability, plus the water parks and sledding would still be open?
They always seem to decide everything at the last minute. The final closing day will probably only be announced like a week or 10 days in advance. Best deals are the last couple of weeks, definitely no availability issues, but the sledding actually tends to close earlier than the last ski runs do. Water parks, I have no idea – never been! But have observed the Yongpyong hotel swimming pool complex (not a park) is open throughout the season (and I guess is all year)
