About Phoenix Park
Phoenix Park is South Korea's most family-oriented ski resort, a compact and well-organised mountain in Gangwon Province that shares the 2018 Olympic legacy — its halfpipe and snowboard slopestyle venue hosted the freestyle events that broadcast this corner of the Korean peninsula to a global audience. Its 12km of piste across 21 trails are modest in scale but expertly designed for the mass recreational market, with wide beginner zones, progression areas, and a particularly strong ski school programme that makes it the preferred choice for Korean families introducing children to snow sports for the first time. Phoenix Pyeongchang Resort's full-service hotel sits at the base with direct ski access, and the resort's entertainment complex — including water parks, ice rinks, and cultural attractions — extends its appeal well beyond pure skiing. The KTX bullet train connects Seoul to the resort village in under two hours, making Phoenix Park an accessible and affordable introduction to Korean ski culture for US visitors exploring East Asia beyond the standard tourist circuit.
