Olympic size beauty of High1 Resort Mountain in Kangwon Province -KTO Thankyou Event for the 3rd K-Supporters-




The Korea Tourism Organisation ranked high the contribution of the 3rd Korea Performance-Supporters by organizing an exciting 2 day event full of activities between 23rd & 24rd of January 2015 on the High1 Resort mountain in Kangwon Province.



The 3rd K-Supporters in two limousine buses were transferred to Kangwon Province from Seoul KTO Headquarters and enjoyed the nature and snowwhite beauty of the High1 Resort mountain.




Once an isolated and remote mountainous area and the center of the nation's coal mining industry, the region has now turned into a winter sports travel destination. Among the most popular areas is the High1 resort where visitors can enjoy ski, golf, casino, hotel luxurity and many unique activities such as the Snow tube. In a few years time this province of Korea will be in the spotlight for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games which will take place there. 




K-Supporters after the check-in in the luxurious High1 hotel embarked for the first adventure, the participation in the snow tube festival!






Oh the fun in it!. Adults and children competing among them who would arrive first and grab the mascot of High1 resort. Great presents awaited the winners.
Then ski lessons for the K-Supporters. What a happy surprise to be near the slope lift called ATHENA! Goddess of wisdom and according to mythology the winner against God Poseidon on naming the capital city of Athens in Greece. 







Late afternoon a great buffet dinner and reception was organized for the K-Supporters in the High1 Hotel.What excited the K-Supporters where the performance by the Sachoom dancers! They were full of dancing magic and humor! When rhe top K-Supporters received the 
KTO prize at the end of the reception made them by right very proud!








The following day another unforgettable activity was set for the K-Supporters by KTO! The Mountain Rail Bike!!!! This is a new type of leisure, utilizing and giving another breath of life for the unused train rails among the not in operation train stations: its the Jeongseon Auraji Rail Bike! Sitting on a four wheel-four seat bikes on the train rail was one of the most beautiful rides in our life. 
Crossing the snowy mountain, the lake, the nature.Recommended as "must" leisure activity to do in Kangwon province!!!
