[新手上路]想今年12月去韓國學Snowboard

[andy2667]

In my opinion, for beginner, it is better to get some lessons in Slope8/play before going go the ski/snowboard trip.

Not able to comment on snow board learning. I learnt ski in slope8 before my first ski trip to korea. IMHO, one hour lesson in slope8 is better than half day beginner lesson in Korea. As the machine in slope8/play can accomodate 2 students, it is more economical to learn there together with one of your friend at the same level. I highly recommend to complete a pacakge course provided by them before the trip. It would be a 5~6 hours or lessons package. it make you safer and let you acquire all the basic skills. Give them a call.

For first time to Korea, I highly recommend you joining KTS's package tour. Reasons:
1. Much Cheaper compared with DIY
2. Include basic gears for ski. Not sure for snowboard.
3. The guide will arrange all for u and take care for all u need
4. u can know some friends. Can support for one another.
5. U can join the beginner course. Skiing is free. Not sure for snowboarding. Check it out.
6. Some entertainment provided in dinner. May inclidenight ski.

Hope this can help.

作者: Osh 其實我身邊冇人識滑雪... 更加冇人有興趣... 我2月份同行既其實都係網友黎, 係網上面識既~ 所以我都唔知有咩途徑可以令我更了解snowboard呢個運動, 我o個位網友佢都係係上海室內滑雪場到學左先去滑真雪, 但我自己其實都預左12月去韓國自由行, 所以先有咁既決定, 因為shopping唔o岩我 ... 所以就決定去韓國自由行+學snowboard~ 我剛剛都上網睇下呢個 slope8, 就咁睇介紹真係講到效果好過去學滑真雪, 但每堂半小時計, 其實要學幾耐先ok? 定係都係睇個人資質?

"其實我身邊冇人識滑雪... 更加冇人有興趣..."
Yep, pretty much most skier/snowboarded in HK are like that, including me! That's why I encourage you to join tours which may help you know someone from HK can share the same interest.

"所以我都唔知有咩途徑可以令我更了解snowboard呢個運動,"
Youtube, forums, Google are good tutors.

"Slope 8/infinity at North Point/ PLay at Kwun Tong"
Never join their classes, so can't comment.

"其實要學幾耐先ok? 定係都係睇個人資質?"
I learned snowboard 3 years ago. No class, no tutor. I learned everything from youtube and websites. It really depends on how much effort you put in. You just need to tolerate the pain and practice from morning to closing for 2-3 days. If you love the sport, you will try understand it and push yourself to learn more about it.
Another thing, if you are not a sporty type, GO JOGGING 1 month before the trip! You need good stamina to snowboard/ski! I am not joking, it would help you a lot.

Another recommendation. Join ClubMed Sahoro package.
1. You can join their snowboard class by qualified instructors every day. Different levels for different boarders. Included in the package.
2. Full board meal and include drink. They take care all u needs.
3. In December, it is likely that snow condition in Hokkaido is much better than that in Korea.
4. In general, Ski condition in Japan is much better than that in Korea.
I think it is cheaper than DIY ski tour to Korea if u take the full board meal and snowboard course into consideration.

I think u can go down intermediate red run after 4-5 days training.

Better still, finished the 5 hours package course in slope 8 or play then join clubmed to continue the training. You may be able to go down black run after that if you learn fast.

This is my recommendation and would be what I would do if I were you.

作者: pc dog 想問你2月會去邊到滑雪 ?

都會係去韓國, 不過未PLAN去邊個滑雪場~

[Osh]

多謝你地既意見

不過我睇過 slope 8 or play 既課程都比較貴...
1個鐘頭大概都要500-600~ (一個人去學.. 冇睇錯既話)
我朋友係大陸學都係 1xxRMB/hr, 當然我都明香港係寸金尺土...
不過去旅行之前, 仲要俾幾千蚊做學費... 仲有d必需品要買左先過去, 對於本人黎講真係有d財政壓力

但都好多謝各位既意見, 得著好多!! 睇黎我今次呢一行都好有挑戰性
其實我自己都有諗第一次係唔係應該跟團, 少好多煩惱~ 但都因為一d私人理由join唔到滑雪團...
有機會真係要試下, 認識多d有相同興趣既人~

[Osh]

韓國之行回來了
我去到之後第二日開始落大雪~ 兩日體驗曬唔夠雪同埋厚雪既體驗, 真係好好彩!
不過聽當地人都話今年韓國早凍左, 真係好運, 月頭去都既感覺都唔錯~~
今次去龍平滑雪之前都好順利, life ticket仲有50% off!~
其實學Snowboard真係好睇自己對平衡既感覺...
總係覺得就算1:1咁教都教唔到d咩咁, 最都係教練滑一次俾我睇, 同埋有少少重點提一下,
到第二日自己亂練亂滑, 加埋厚雪既幫助, 總算成功自學到 Beginner Turns



中午時間人真係唔多


出發! 初級滑道Yellow



開始落雪啦


租既板都幾型, 20000won一日


大雪+大霧, 能見度都低左


入黑後雪已經厚左, 人多左, 滑到好多痕


最後黎一張自拍XD

[avalanch]

总共洗左幾多 ?? 行程安排如何? 分享下吖

[Osh]

其實因為第一次去韓國+一個人去, 時間安排方面都唔係咁好
我去5日, 頭兩日係龍平,尾兩日係首爾到~

機場去龍平巴士票單程 = 26,000won
Motel: 60,000won X 2晚 = 120,000won
2小時1:1課程 = 150,000won
Lift ticket 第一日單時段(18:30-22:00) = 26,000won
第二日兩個時段(12:00-16:30&18:30-22:00) = 40,000won

租用裝備費:
Snowboard: 20,000 x 2日 = 40,000won
Helmet: 3,000 x 2日 = 6,000won
Protecters (hip and knees): 5,000 x 2日 = 10,000won
Gloves: 5,000 x 2日 = 10,000won
Goggles: 5,000 x 2日 = 10,000won

我係坐零晨機去, 不過9:30AM 先有巴士直接去龍平,
不過塞車關係... 去到龍平都已經2:00PM= ="
搞埋check in, 租野都已經2:30, 所以我選左18:30 - 22:00先開始我第一日既滑雪之旅... 第一日全日就真係hea曬....

Thanks for your trip report! I hope you had a good time snowboarding. So you're looking forward to your next trip next year already?
I'am pretty surprised that you can rent goggles and gloves as I thought these should be considered personal items and many places would not have rental of these because of hygienic reasons.
Thanks for this post; I'm thinking about snowboarding again. It prompted me to alter my own trip slightly to fit in one day of snowboarding (and get some private lessons) before my skiing week starts.
Hope it'll be all right (don't want to get hurt and ruin my ski trip )

Osh兄，多谢你的分享。刚刚今个礼拜我也到龙平去。我是12月9日星期天到，12月14日星期五离开龙平。我记得星期天至星期四应该没有下雪，如下图：



12月14日星期五就下大雪了，如下图：



你见下雪那天也​​是星期五吗？

Thank you!! snowboard真係超爽!! 一試就愛上啦~
我都好像再去一次唷, 不過本身plan既2月之行的朋友有改動,
佢會改為1月尾去韓國, 都會預1,2日去滑雪, 但其他時間就追星~
而我就唔知起唔起行好...~_~

goggles 佢本身都已經有得租,
而手套本身都係要我買嫁, 不過我平o個d又睇唔o岩, 睇o岩o個d又唔夠現金買XD"
老闆娘就好好人咁搵左對手套租俾我... 不過其實都真係有風險,
我第二日都發現我右手背有d紅點, 但唔痕, 第二日都照用隻手套,
但除左少少紅點之外, 都冇痕過, 同埋好快退返曬, 所以都唔知係凍親定真係敏感 (因為我成日除右手手套影相=v=...)

c hing, how can u get 50% off for rent board? and where did u rent?

作者: fishmay c hing, how can u get 50% off for rent board? and where did u rent?

我住o個間motel有埋租雪具既服務(因為本身佢最底層係一間雪具用品鋪頭黎)
不過冇50% off,
50% off既係龍平既lift ticket, 佢係因應時間決定幾多折,
我12月頭唔算旺季, 所以有50% off, 如果近聖誕節既時間, lift ticket就貴好多了~
