O2 Resort in Taebaek: a 1,420 m summit, a 3.2 km beginner route, Friday and Saturday night skiing, timed lift prices, the Taebaeksan Snow Festival, briquette-grilled beef and mul-dakgalbi.
Booyoung Group's O2 Resort is a high-altitude ski area in Taebaek, topping out at 1,420 m. It has 15 km of slopes including a 3.2 km beginner route, and sells a season pass shared with the group's Muju Deogyusan Resort. Taebaek also hosts the Taebaeksan Snow Festival, which makes it a good winter trip in its own right.
The mountain: The official site lists slopes under 12 consolidated names, and the resort planned to run 8 in 2025-26. The longest are the 3.2 km beginner route (Head + Happy) and the 2.7 km intermediate Glory 3. There are six lifts, including the eight-seat Kiwi and Sweet Shuttle.
Lift tickets: The official fee table lists adult timed tickets at ₩53,000/₩63,000 (weekday/weekend) for 3 hours, ₩63,000/₩73,000 for 5 and ₩70,000/₩80,000 for 7, with a single ride at ₩15,000 (the season is not stated). Guests and residents of nearby areas get about 40% off. The sightseeing gondola is ₩18,000 return.
Getting there: Taebaek Station is not a KTX stop, and we could not confirm a current station shuttle. Buses run from Dong Seoul to Taebaek intercity terminal. The resort advises drivers to use Route 38 from Jecheon and carry snow tyres and chains.
