You step out of a warmed van into a white hush: bare trees line a river that seems to dare you to cross. By mid-morning the wooden ferry shuttles visitors to Nami Island, where straight avenues of poplar and ginkgo impose a slow, deliberate pace. Later, the valley opens to a ski hill where instructors steady first-time skiers and the slope’s rhythm pulls you forward.
