Saturday's night skiing at Vivaldi Park (소노 비발디 파크)

Night skiing at Sono's Vivaldi Park and trying to figure out why this ski center and park is so popular. The question remains without answer and I consider that the only reason is the huge promotion and advertisement that Vivaldi has. Indeed, for the most part this ski center was a disappointment. I can not explain why Koreans (especially the young ones) want to go there since their excursion can easily become a nightmare getting much more problems than enjoyment. Some elements there, are nice (eg the cafe with the stove that burns logs at the upper end of Jazz slope) and the overall installations and building are impressive BUT.....does it worth all that trouble ???

Skiing/Snowboarding

1. Unbelievably packed by people! Late Night skiing is the only option if someone wants to enjoy a little bit. (This is translated to...problems in finding parking, laaaaarge queues for buyong tickets, taking the lift, buying a coffee etc etc) 2. Ski equipment (if you want to rent) seems old or very much used and there are doubts whether it is cleaned (e.g. the ski boots were still wet from the previous customer when they were given to me). 3. Someone must explain to soooo many people how to hold their skis when walking and to the ones who rent the equipment how to provide the correct equipment. 4. The 2 roads connecting the ski center are dangerous during night time and particularly with all these people. 5. The widely promoted ski center attracts a large Variety of people, especially from the large urban areas like Seoul. Thus, in general one should be careful.
