This is the artificial ice which Yongpyong uses for its slopes at the start of their skiing season. It is coarser and those at the edge of the ski slopes resembles shaved ice like the "ice balls" which I had in my childhood.
From one of the documentaries I have seen on TV, large sprinklers are used to create the artificial snow. This method costs more and there are concerns over environmental issues. See Responsible Skiing.
