Some have been open for a week or two now according to a news report I saw recently.
Edit all based off of their websites:
High1 has 3 of their runs currently open.
Phoenix Park has 7 of their slopes open.
Vivaldi Park has only 2 open (1 is open only during the day).
Alpensia hasn't opened any of their slopes.
YongPyong has opened 6 of their slopes.
Most of the slopes that have been opened are beginner level. Also, the resorts might open more if what you say is true about heavy snow. |

Added some more: (no classes today)
O2 Resort has two runs open.
Oak Valley has opened one run.
Elysian's site is not clear but I believe two lifts are open but not sure if you can actually ski/snowboard.
Hyundai Sungwoo Resort has 4 runs currently open.
That is all I can find. |

Went to high 1 yesterday. Neither peaks were open. The only run open was the beginner run under the gondola and that was only open from the halfway (down) point. Wish I had known before going, Vivaldi is a lot closer. Try to make sure at least one peak is open before going to High 1.
I think there were a couple of bunny slopes open, to make a total of 3 slopes. |

never been to vivaldi or high one, but been to a couple other ones.
thinking tomorrow might go to hyundai... seems to be the closest.
vivaldi seems to be more of a pain to get to... |

Yongpyeong has been open for two weeks or so, and the last few days have seen quite a bit of snowfall out this way.
I am at sea level and we got mostly rain, but a quick glance up at the mountains tells me they got a huge pile of snow. It looks absolutely beautiful up there. |
