condition wise
better than Australia but you would rather go Japan.

price wise
cheaper than Japan overall but its dependant on how luxurious you want to go

Resorts
heard many are fairly close to major cities = busy weekends

consensus for Korea is you go there for the experience/culture of Korea as opposed to Japan (cause japow is more consistent/better condition..thru my research **havent been before just researched** thus far)
will be heading there within the next couple of years regardless

awesome wrap up thanks! I love Japan but am keen to explore the globe in search of differentb experience, different resorts etc.

why not avoid asia all together if you have been before. go to bulgaria ,

I have snowboarded at Muju resort because it was the closest one to where I lived.  Nothing amazing, but pretty cool for a few day trips.

No one spoke any English (as with the rest of Korea outside Seoul).

Here’s a couple pics:

You sure that first one is not Perisher Front Valley. It looks almost identical if you remove those trees in the middle lol.

I think the English barrier would make it hard for me…
