What visitors say about the resort

YongPyong is valued for its Olympic legacy: alpine skiing events were held here in 2018, and the pistes live up to that reputation. Visitors praise the long Rainbow piste, night skiing and the resort's convenience for international guests - signs and instructors speak English.

Complaints include weekend queues when visitors arrive from Seoul, as well as wind at the summit, which can lead to the gondola being closed. The other issue is artificial snow, and the pistes become chopped up by evening.
