A cold bell of wind runs down the slope as you step out of the lodge: white runs unfurl above a fir line and the mountain seems to watch you, patient and vast. At Muju Deogyusan Resort, trails carve into Deogyusan National Park’s granite flanks; the chairlifts lift you through bands of mist and birch until the valley below looks like a folded map.
