SKI/SNOWBOARD @ YONGPYONG SKI RESORT!

Join us for a run to Yongpyong, the site of the former Winter Olympics events!

❄️❄️❄️💖☃️🏂⛷️ THE PLAN!! 🏂⛷️☃️💖❄️❄️❄️

Note: There will be more many attendees than indicated on Meetup and my account's member/guest limitations. Most of our organizing is done in a Kakaotalk groupchat, I recommend requesting to join (however, as it is a group of in-person friends/acquaintances, please understand that there may be some extraneous chat):
