Yongpyong Resort Greenpia Condominium

For the price, this place is hard to beat if you're skiing. It's right across the open-air car park from the resort, so being on-site and skiing in and out was great. The underfloor heating worked so well that the room felt evenly warm, and the convenience store downstairs had a good range. The kitchen had a few pans and just enough plates, bowls and cutlery, but no oil, salt or other seasoning. The closest supermarket is a 15-minute drive away. A heads-up on the layout: there are two entrances, but reception is on Level 2 at the back of the building. The entrance that looks like the main one, by the car park, is at B4. Full-size bath towels aren't provided. Apparently you can get them for 1,000 won each, though we brought our own and didn't try. The floor mats are very thin, maybe about 30% as thick as ones I've seen in Japan. They were barely enough for my 8- and 10-year-old kids and wouldn't work for adults. The biggest surprise came on our last day. Even though B3 has a ski storage area and people leave their gear along the walls there, resort staff cleared out every ski, pole and snowboard and loaded them into a Yongpyong resort van. They said the equipment couldn't be stored there. They showed us a short notice in Korean with dates that didn't even cover our stay, so I couldn't tell what it said. It was startling that gear was removed without a clearer warning in a place marked for ski storage. The worker said we should use the paid lockers, but Google Translate's version of the locker instructions said they were for same-day use only and didn't mention overnight storage. I'd keep skis in your room to avoid having them taken away. Even with those issues, I'd stay again. I'd book a bigger room next time so the kids don't have to sleep on the floor.
