Would you like to be sore for a week? Then go to Muju Mountain!

Snow + fast food= last weekend. I ventured out to Muju last Saturday to try my luck at snowboarding for the 2nd time in my life. The mountain was VERY busy on Saturday, but luckily there we less people on Sunday. This was a fun getaway that I hope to experience again very soon.
The hotel we stayed in was a break from the norm. I am used to staying in love hotels or hostels, but this was all the resort offered (for the cheapest price at 65,000 Won/night) and it supplied us with a tiny room, 2 floor mats, blankets, and pillows. I was afraid I wouldn't be very comfortable sleeping on the floor, but it actually isn't so bad. I would definitely do it again. I concluded that I am not the best snowboarder, it took me an hour to get down the mountain the first time, but I kept improving over the duration of the weekend, so I am looking forward to going back and practicing some more.
