More than 40 years ago
Once upon a time, there was a ski training center at the high mountain in the middle of Taiwan. That was that starting point of GoFun Snow Academy.
一切就從四十多年前的合歡山開始！

At that time, many young people joined the ski camp held by the Ski Association in Taiwan (now Chinese Taipei Ski Association). Even the national ski races were held at this only ski area in Taiwan. Although the ski site is no longer exist, many of those people who have the experiences on the mountain become the most important persons of ski industry in Taiwan.
上個世紀中期，合歡山東峰上有全台唯一的滑雪場和滑雪纜車。中華民國滑雪協會在這裡舉辦滑雪訓練營和比賽。雖然至今滑雪場已經不在了，但是當時留下的種子仍然開枝散葉蓬勃發展。
