From December 12, 2004 through March 8, 2005, the "Fun Ski & Snow Festival" will be held in Yongpyong and Muju Resorts. Many tourists from Southeast Asian counries will stay for 3 nights to enjoy skiing and various events provided by the resort. This ski tour program includes daytime activities such as ski instruction, amateur ski
competitions, snowboard competitions, and sledding competitions, while featuring some nighttime events like Korea traditional dance and
music performances and some of Korea's most famous performances such as TOKEBI STORM. In the recent years, the number of Southeast Asian
tourists during the winter season has increased because of the snow covered mountains and the fun and thrills that are offered at the ski resorts in Korea. Yongpyong Resort and Muju Resort are especially well known for its beauty and the quality of snow among many ski enthusiasts. Yongpyong Resort is between 700 and 1,500 meters above
sea level and is known as the Alps of the Korean Peninsula. It was also the setting for "Gyeoulyeonga (Winter Sonata)," a famous TV
miniseries which was televised in many parts of Asia.
