Panorama Slope Expansion for Beginners and Intermediates
Extended Early Morning and Night Operating Hours During Peak Season
Gonjiam Resort, the largest ski resort in the Seoul metropolitan area, will open this month.
Gonjiam Resort announced on the 4th that it has made several changes to the slopes this season to expand the skiing base in Korea. At the beginning of this year, Gonjiam Resort expanded the Panorama Slope so that beginners and intermediate skiers can enjoy skiing from the top. The Fun Slope Zone added a 'Snow Hill' course for intermediate to advanced skiers to increase the fun. The sledding area was expanded to 15 rails. The capacity was also increased to 300 people, allowing families with children to enjoy it comfortably.

Gonjiam Resort expanded its early morning and night operations during the peak ski season (December 24 to February 2). During this period, on weekends and holidays, the ski resort opens at 7 a.m. and operates until 2 a.m. the next day. Convenience was also enhanced by enabling one-stop use from booking to admission with just a smartphone. Through the 'Ski Mobile Quick Pass,' the first of its kind in domestic ski resorts, visitors can book and pay for lift tickets, rent equipment, and enter the resort.
The 'Gonjiam Rainbow Club' ski lessons were also revamped. It offers a series of eight one-on-one professional coaching sessions, and Rainbow Club students can use an exclusive lounge, lockers, and parking lot this year. The 'Snowy Ski Village' created in the plaza in front of the Ski House is decorated as a perfect spot for photo certification. It will feature an 8-meter-high Gonjiam Ski Bear sculpture harmonized with birch trees. The gift shop inside the condo will also newly offer signature products such as Gonjiam Bear dolls and special winter season cakes.
Meanwhile, Gonjiam Resort Ski Area boasts top-class ski facilities in Korea, including eight wide slopes with a maximum width of 154 meters, lifts that can transport 15,000 people per hour to the summit, and a wireless remote-controlled snowmaking system. It also provides a differentiated ski life with features such as the country's first 'time-based lift ticket,' 'slope capacity system,' and 'Ski Mobile Quick Pass.'
