So I went snowboarding yesterday, this was quite hilariously mishapped.
After being brushed off time and time again about finding us somewhere else to sleep and finding out the second days skiing was not covered, we managed to track down the boss (at this point all but two of the staff had gone home, they had been told they'd be back home by 6pm, and started complaining about 7.30pm)
We finally convinced him to give us twenty bucks back and take us to the nearest train station in time for the last train at 9.40.
He then broke down and started blaming absolutely everything and anything, then managed to delay the driver, and kept walking away. Finally we got driven to the station at just after 9.30 at which point the driver parked about 1km from the station and said that way, we managed to follow the road and luckily the 9.40 train was actually 10.00.

The morning was no bad, with us wandering around at the slopes for an hour and a half trying to find where our rental gear had been dropped off and trying to find somewhere to put our stuff, and also lacking in our ski passes, that ran from 12.30-4.30 which we finally got just before 2. We'd been there since just after 12.

This company, Ztravelbug Korea if anyone is wondering, made Boston Campus look organized.
Which is saying a lot.
The couple of hours of boarding was good, there were pretty reasonable lines, and it was hilarious boarding on a hill that has just had a few trails of snow thrown on it around the trees and grass.
Sadly there were no jumps for even the most imaginative person, but it was nice to feel like I was one of the best snowboarders on a mountain.

I will be going back in the next couple of weeks, but just a day trip and without the tour group. Get three times the slope time.
