The Scouting Report
Do you live in Ilsan? Or Paju? Or anywhere west of Seoul? Do you feel the need for speed...on ice? Yet, do you have no desire to fight the hassles of Seoul just so you can enjoy one of the ice-skating rinks found in the big city? If so, you are in luck. One Mount is the perfect place for you.

Fresh ice....before the skaters carve it up.
Surface
There was a lot of discussion before the rink was built as to what surface it would have. In the end, those with common sense prevailed. Ice was used.
Price
5,000 won for skates. Entry onto the rink is free.
Access Times
Skate sessions begin every hour on the hour. They last for 50 minutes at which point all skaters must leave the ice so that the ice can be resurfaced.
The first session begins at 11:00 a.m. The last session begins at 8:00 p.m.
Don't hit the Christmas tree in the middle of the rink.
