If you build any tourist attraction in Korea, it will instantly be swarmed by numerous Koreans.Muju Ski Resort is no exception.
This past weekend found me spending time with one of my favourite hobbies: Skiing. The skiing at Muju was impeccable with an unending view of mountains, mountains and more mountains.
But also, people, people and more people.
I've never seen so many people at a ski resort in all my life. The chair lift lines were impatiently long. At one point I waited 45 minutes. However, this is offset the longest ski runs I've ever done. One in particular is called 'Silk Road' and it is 6.1 km long. To get to the top, you either take a gondola (for an extra fee) or two chairlifts (which takes 20 minutes to reach the top). At the peak, the start of Silk Road, the view is nothing short of mesmerizing.
As for the weather, it was the warmest climate I've ever skied in. In the pictures, I'm donned in a winter jacket and hat, but don't be fooled. That sun was piercing and I found myself way overdressed.
Attached is one of many pictures I took. I was snapping pictures at every vantage point possible during this trip. Whenever I exited the ski lift, I whipped out the camera like a six-shooter. Aside from the mountainous views, take a look at the number of people in the pic above. All those tiny dots, those aren't an army of ants, those are Koreans. And they're here for one thing: FUN.
Enjoy,
Dan
