Thank you!! 😍

Thank you!!

We wore boots but i (nick) really really regretted it. It added a ton of weight and wasn't comfortable for a full day hike. I'd recommend for you to wear hiking shoes (basically running shoes with more traction, e.g. from Salomon or Hoka) or wear running shoes and bring along crampons!! You might also want to wear gaiters if you don't want too much snow going in 😂

Noted with thanks!

I think it was probably 10-15 degrees! But they do give a wetsuit that will keep you warm in the water; only your face and hands will freeze 😂

@@nick_and_ada Thanks for the reply. I've been to colder waters (1-5 degrees) but I wore a dry suit. So can't feel the cold. I did a dive in GBR wearing wet suit and the water was 22 degrees ... I was silvering throughout...haha. you guys are amazing (zai) to endure 10 degree on a wetsuit. Thanks again .. looking forward to trying as well..

I just checked the website! The one-piece wetsuit and jacket were 5mm each so i think that made a really big difference 😂😂

We were there at the end of December, close to Christmas!!

Yes, the store is a short 10 min walk from the closest entrance of the Gyeongbokgung palace!!

Hi Bree! Thank you for the kind words!! Happy you have you onboard ❤️

Hi!! Registration is required for the 2 trails that reach the summit of hallasan - gwaneumsa and seongpanak! They are free but there are limited slots available so do register early; i believe they open a month or two in advance! Btw, do check up on the rules as there are requirements regarding the timing you enter as well as when you reach certain checkpoints!!! Happy hiking 😆😆

The shuttle bus in was alright as people go in at different timings, but the buses out of the slopes were really really full as everyone tries to ski till the last minute. Some people had to stand up in the bus, whilst many were left behind to wait 😂😂 hope this helps!!

Hi! Sorry but we don't know about the Alphe House 😂 we had our lunch at the ski restaurant

Hi, did you find out about the lift price? I saw another vlogger recommended Vision Ski Rental and they offer as low as KRW 39,000 for weekday 4-hr lift. I'm wondering if there are any other options.

We rented the goggles and helmet as a set from a store there! It wasnt included in our package

@@nick_and_ada thanks! Do you still remember how much does the rental of a set cost?

It was probably 10-15k won for the helmet + goggles!

Hi!! The shuttle bus was free and it was right outside the station!! Just make sure you get off at the right stop 😂😂

Yes! We went in late dec and it was actually really really cold. There was snow everywhere and the wind was pretty strong. Do prepare warm clothing when you go!! Jeonju was one of the prettiest places that we went to during our trip and we wished that we had more time there 🥲

Hi!! Congrats on your upcoming grad 🤘🏻🔥 Driving in winter in new zealand was actually pretty great! The roads are regularly checked, maintained, and if there's any danger, they either close the road or have loads of warning signs in the area. We didn't have to use our snow chains at all (however, do note that we went in june so conditions might be quite different). NZ also has a department focused on road conditions so you might want to check their website regularly when you're there! I think some of my friends were trapped in towns when there was too much snow at the exits. Do also note that some roads, like those going to milford, may be closed during periods of bad weather Hope this helps!!

@@nick_and_ada thank you very much for the reply! Appreciate it, i will keep a look out while i am there! Awesome videos !

Thank you!! It was indeed tough 😂 would recommend training up a lil bit otherwise you’ll end up like me 🤣

Hi!! Yes! We did bring crampons as some sections were full of ice (especially on the staircases). We'd also recommend gaiters if you have them! They'll really help to keep the snow out of your shoes 😂

are any store to rent that thing at there ? @@nick_and_ada

Hi! The coat and trousers were part of the package that we booked! We used Trazy for ours; you may search for Elysian ski and check that the package includes ski clothes and equipment rental! Hope this helps and have fun!! 😁😁

Hi!! They should be open every day! The cafes in the area are mostly always open 😂😂

Woww that must have been really fun (although pretty exhausting)! Can't for us to get to do it again 😂😂 thanks for watching!!!

We're from Singapore!!

Hi!! We didn't; the (incredible) porters brought the tent, mattresses, sleeping bags, tables and chairs! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 it's typically included in the packages when you sign up 😁😁 hope this helps!!!

It really was an incredibly beautiful and rewarding hike, even though it was really challenging each step of the way up 😂😂😂

Yess, it was so much more difficult than we thought it would be (subtext: physically and mentally unprepared), but the views made it soo worth it!!!! 😍😍😍

We are doing well 😂 Hope everything is going well with you too!!! 😁😁

It was a really beautiful sight! Made the long hike worth it 😂 We're glad that you enjoyed the view ☺️☺️

Hi!! We used a mix of Sony's ZV-1 and Fuji's XT-3 with the XF 16-80mm F4 R OIS WR lens 😂 Thanks!!

We were there around Christmas!!! The weather and views were amazing ❄️☃️🎄

@@nick_and_ada that’s nice! We are planning to go around that period too. Hopefully it’s as white too!

Nice!! There's lots of food to try in Jeonju so you should plan it out haha! You might also want to try staying in a Hanok for a night or two!!

🥰

We took about 3 hours in and 2 hours out! The path was rather flat and manageable but the ice and snow on the floor slowed us down quite abit 😂

Yes! We went in late June and had a lovely time on all of our hikes, with views of freshly fallen snow on mountains and fields 😍 do note that winter brings about some challenges, such as bouts of unpredictable windy, rainy, and snowy weather, short daylight hours (especially when you have to drive quite abit to get anywhere in NZ), as well as snow on the hiking trails, making them more tiring and difficult. If we were to go back to NZ, we would still choose to go back in winter!!! ❄️⛄️

It really was very peaceful! It's a great place to take a break from the noise and activity along the main shopping street 🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♀️😂
