Welli Hilli Park

괜찮아요ㅇ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

가족들과 가기 좋아요 파도풀 어마어마하네요 ~ 직원들 별로 친절하진 않아요. 시설은 그럭저럭 괜찮인요.

평창에 출장와서 정말 머물만한 곳이 없어서 예약했어요 . 비시즌이라 사람이 없고 문도 많이 닫혀있었네요. 그래도 가격대비 방은 넓고 걍 잠만 자고 나왔습니다ㅎㅎ 그정도만 해도 나쁘지 않다면 괜찮아요 시즌중에 오면 재밌을거같네요

I loved the view of the ski field from my room! It’s fun to just stand on the balcony and watch the people skiing down the slopes. The layout of the resort is a bit confusing because it was huge. The number of lifts were rather limited, so it took a long time to queue for them when there was a crowd. There was a convenience store and some shops and eateries here too. This hotel and its ensuite bathroom is dated but the room is spacious and even has a kitchenette. There was no toiletries and bath towel provided though. The breakfast buffet was also good.

Very odd experience. Are all Korean ski resorts like this or is this place particularly weird? While waiting for my kid to finish her lesson by the ski school area, I was told by patrols several times to "get off the snow, since you are not wearing ski gear". I said I was waiting to pick up my child at the instructions of your ski instructor and they said "patrol is a different division from the ski school" (so they don't care). I have never been told that it is wrong to step on snow at a ski resort. Is this normal? When I asked why I couldn't the patrol said he wasn't sure but was just following orders. He speculated that the "clean snow may become dirty". I was not blocking anyone's path, just standing at the ski school meeting place. Also, all lift passes must be purchased on the day (no multi-day passes) and the passes are for 2,4, 6 or 8 hours since the time of purchase. So if you want so ski a whole day and night, you must go to the ticket office twice to buy tickets at least for the night ski. Rentals are another problem - you can only rent up to 2 days max. If you are staying 4 days, you must return all of your gear and then re-rent by standing in line at the ticket office! No feel of a fun resort at all. While employees were friendly, they clearly had no idea what was going on (just following orders blindly). The lifts open at 8:30am and the ticket office (where you have to purchase rental tickets as well) open at 8:20am. The only explanation I could come up with is that they don't care about casual skiiers. They only cater to people who buy season passes and have their own gear. Which perhaps would make sense if the slopes were good - but no... very boring and less than average. Also, if you take lessons at the ski school there, "by policy" no matter if you take 1x1 lessons and are quite advanced, they will not take you up to the top on the gondola. Is it because the slopes are too advanced? Absolutely not. It's "just policy". Food in general at ski resorts is bad in Korea so I think they rank "average". Rooms were clean but dated, so average. Overall, of all the ski resorts in the world I've been to... it really was the worst experience.
