Cross country skiing

are there any cross country skiiers out there?!! Found lots of info on downhill skiing, but not so much on cross country. Does anyone know of some good trails?

Yongpong seemingly has 15km worth but that is the only place I found with trails....

Any keen beans?!! Yes, yes yes?!

not much, but something

classic X-Cer myself, but rarely in Korea for the winter. . . guess the info on the site isn't "free" but Muju was my local "ski area" and has some X-C. It's the southernmost ski resort, though, and often relies on snowmaking, which doesn't bide well for cross country. . .

I've been in contact with them and the woman seemed pretty clueless about it all!! On the website they say they have 15h\km, but she said to contact them at the end of December/beginning of January - they'll have more info!

Will let you know the updates!!

And no, I don't have skis

I can't speak about the quality, but I am an early bird up at Yongpyong and the Korean and provincial age group X-country kids are finishing off about 25 mins before the lifts open, so I can only assume that Yongpyong is the place to be.
