19-21 Skiing/Snowboarding trip

[mil-mil]

Putting together a ski/snowboarding trip form the 19-21st of January, probably going to head to Muju so if you got an itch to get out on the slopes get in touch. As of right now the Plan is to get as many people as possible to go and cram in to a Min-Bak and ski/snowboard to our harts content.

Come to Muju! I'll be there, and I think Dan from Jeju-do will too. It's a lovely place...

[amelia]

I'm in Mike! Does that mean you're coming skiing Lindsey?!

[lkiehn]

I'm planning on skiing at Muju that weekend, yes!

[firepink]

sounds good to me. i think i'm going to be there this weekend as well with a few mokpo kids, although it's not a sure thing - if anyone is interested in hopping in on that, let me know.

[lkiehn]

alas... I think Dan and I are going to go ice climbing that weekend instead... Yeong Dong last weekend was so cool, I just can't pass it up!!

And after a 16 day vacation in Vietnam, plus a trip to Japan coming up this month, free camping and free climbing would be a lot better for my wallet too : )

Have a blast guys!!

i'll be at muju on the 21st. we should come up with a meeting point that morning

[mil-mil]

excellent rcik. i wasnt sure if you were in the country or not. if you still have the same # i can call you and let you know what hotel or min-bak or where-ever it is we end up staying when we get to Muju.

[normalcyispasse]

Man, if I weren't going to Nepal 2 days after this trip I'd probably be down. Have fun!

[firepink]

a potential joiner asked me how much money he could expect to be spending this weekend... and i had no idea. i know we're planning on finding cheap-ish accommodation off the mountain, but what about gear? anyone know how much rentals cost?

[mil-mil]

Lift tickets are supposed to be 32,000 won per day and ski and boot rental is 18,000 won per day and snowboard rental is 21,000 won per day. I am either looking at getting a minbak which are availible for 50,000 won per night in town or trying to find a Love Motel for around 30,000 and just craming everyone into it. I'm all about cheap so we will be brining food for lunch and breakfast with us and probably only eating dinner out.

[firepink]

awesome, thanks!

[ricardo]

where are you getting the 32k won deal??? can others get in?
according to lifeinkorea.com (http://www.lifeinkorea.com/Travel2/ncholla/52) lift tickets are 51k for daytime (8:30-4:30). i couldn't find any prices on the official site though.
my phone # is still the same.

[mil-mil]

http://www.travel.com.hk/sport/ski/korea/muju.htm. this is were i got the information from. Well reguardless of price i will be heading there on saturday.

[ricardo]

i'd be wary of that site...it's a hong kong travel agency that says muju is all natural snow.

Rick if you had a choice of Muju or Dragon Valley where would you go?

I'm headed to YongPyong hopefully on the 19th. It was with a group of people, but some have backed out. Still trying to pin it down to YongPyong or High1 (maybe even Phoenix). I'd rather go north for more snow, been some recent flurries up here. If anyone happens to change venues, or will be northerly, drop me a line.

[ricardo]

muju without a doubt. but that's mainly b/c it's 1.5 hours from my house. i think they're pretty much the same so it all depends on your location.
how the hell have you been mike? didn't know you were still around...

[Shagymb]

Great thanks Rick. I am out of Command so I get to have a life agian... I am thinking MUJU is closer for me too. If the USO trip I am supposed to lead dose not go I will be heading down to Muju on Sunday night or monday morning.

I am still around and kicking I hope trip dose not go so we can get together and catch up.

I put my new number on my profile.

[mil-mil]

due to ridiculuse military bullshit :mad: , i will not be able to head down saturday and i am not sure if i will be able to get down sunday either. I think that maybe i will just not make plans anymore to do anything. it seems the last few trips i have planned got tottaly shut down. I will keep you all updated when i know if i will be able to leave base. Dalton should still be heading down to meet you all tomorrow.

[Shagymb]

Muju it is...

Is there a good place to meet up on Monday Morning?

Dose anyone have any requests for me to bring down on Sunday. PM me if you do or if you don't know what I am talking about and want to know.

Yeah:high5: see ya in the spring!

[ricardo]

how 'bout the ticket booth off the main lot (with all the busses) at 8:30? i have your new # if timing is off.
and i second sonia's 'yeah!'

[firepink]

just to check - for saturday, are people still getting in around noon? that's my plan.

I don't really know anything about rental places or tickets, either, but I assume that's obvious once I get there?

[ricardo]

it's all pretty obvious. the ticket booth faces the main parking lot and the rentals is inside that building...or next to it. if you park at a satelite lot, look for the busses.

[mil-mil]

ok, so do to my amazing powers of excelentness I was able to get out of working this weekend. So i will be heading down saturday morning as planned befor. Im not tottaly sure what time we will be arriving but the plan right now is to meet at Nambu bus terminal at 9 am and head down. so we may or may not be skiing saturday but we will deffinetly get up with everyone saturday evning for dinner and to figure out were we should stay.

[firepink]

is anyone skiing saturday? honestly, i'd be happy meeting up with folks in the afternoon and skiing just on sunday. especially with the prices (eek!).

let me know if you check this.
