The package to Yongpyong includes equipping, a short ski lesson and half a day skiing on the slopes. Following the descent from Dragon Peak, the whole group proceeded to collect our skiing equipment at the ski centre. Equipments provided include the boots, skis and the poles. The boots was really restricted and the movement after wearing one is robotic. Walking is rather difficult especially when you are indoors.
The ski instruction is about half an hour and we were taught the basics: how to slip on and off the skis, falling off "gracefully" so that you would not hurt yourself and the most important of all, how to stop.

For beginner, the only technique would to bring the tips of your together, like an inverted V. Even then, if you are coming off the a slight slope, stopping takes a lot of efforts. 
Well, the fun part is to ski down the slope but the journey back up is tiring with the restrictive boots and lugging the skis and poles.
