Faithful North Korean citizens are now being urged to make the pilgrimage to partake of Dear Leader's miracle mudslide, coming soon to a TGIFs near you!

:p You guys are too funny! See what happens when I go away? The good times roll!

I heard on good authority that ski patrol will be armed military police and are trained to shoot-to-kill any out of bounds skiers. :uzi:
Mountain rescue will be limited to putting the injured skier on a sled and pushing him/her off the cliff. Dear leader expects this will hasten the time to get to the hospital. A morgue will be placed at the base of the cliff.:slap:

Damn! I just arranged a group trip for next January. I was really looking forward to some of the double black trails, "Rocket run", "Nuclear Fantasy", and WMD. Other trails like "Kim's Run" just really don't have a good ring to them.

LOL on missing first-chair.....good get Nick/Bill.
So Kid -Un thinks making a ski area is a snap eh'...so much for the N.Korean Corps of Engineers...guess after hacking into a few ski area design servers they thought they could build it better than those corrupt capitalists....
They must buy their suits at the same place David Byrne buys his! :lol:

sanctions on Pyongyang prohibiting trade in luxury goods. ...

Source: South China Morning Post, August 22, 2013

"Kim Jong-un's plans for a top-notch ski resort face an uphill battle in the face of a vigorous campaign by a Japanese human rights advocate.

..For months, Ken Kato, director of Tokyo-based Human Rights in Asia, has been contacting the Japanese embassies ...reminding them to adhere to United Nations sanctions on Pyongyang prohibiting trade in luxury goods.
...
"North Korea is trying to import lifts from Leitner Ropeways and I think this is a little bit worrying,"
...


Imagine a lineup like this as Vail expands. A freaking military battalion!

The Masik resort will have a hotel, cable cars, ski gear shops and a heliport, the KCNA state media has reported. Kim ordered that it be completed in time for the skiing season this winter.


South Korean media have reported that US$1.8 billion is being sunk into Kim's pet project, which could be seen as attempt to rival South Korea when it hosts the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Very curious:

40% of Korean citizens in the northeast sector of the country are now addicted to Crystal Meth and nearly everyone has tried it. It all started about 20 years ago when the government setup crystal meth production facilities in the northeast of the country to generate cash for the country. The government appears unable to control the problem. Yeah. Neither that nor the dear leader's mouth can be controlled!

Re: Leitner

I believe that they have declined to sell anything to North Korea because of political concerns.
