This is obviously a diversionary tactic to hide the nuclear weapon facility underneath the mountain.

I'm kind of curious if they've created any operating procedures. Do they know how to perform lift maintenance?
I wouldn't be surprised if they have no maintenance at all and just run the lift until it breaks, at which point I would be even less surprised if they had the equipment to perform a lift evac.

I got a season's pass! They have a "work day" scheduled for next Monday for passholders. Said they need to move a few boulders. There will be an apres-ski party afterwards. Sounds great!Billski, you seem pretty interested in Masik pass.
When are you gonna post a TR?

Funny that it is January and I see barely any natural snow on the sides of the trails.

Can't wait! 50% open.
These photos are downright disconcerting. Where is everyone? Love those grass runs. And who are the people in these photos anyways?

They dont have time to ski because they're struggling to feed their family.

Good info from the tour operator:
If you will be taking the lift up, please let us know where you’re going and which run you’ll do.
If we need to evacuate you out to Beijing, we’ll work with the Swedish Embassy to make those arrangements and deliver prompt medical attention

If this tour isn't crazy enough, the February 6-10 trip included a stop at the Munsu Water Park in Pyongyang. That would be this water park: 
To be fair, there is an indoor section under the pyramid, but you never know what the Great Leader has planned on any given day for tourists!

That's so they can interrogate anyone who may have spoken to you on the slopes.

Please explain to me why, if he espouses his "friendly" and welcoming spirit, he is always followed around by military who have more battle campaign ribbons than I have ski pins? Makes me feel really welcome. Oh, yeah, I read through the "side trips" the tour group sponsors. My favorite is the tour of the active DMZ zone. Let's play chicken!

Yeah, but who can afford this stuff? Even dear leader appears mystified, though I doubt he's never cooked a complete meal in his life.
Did you notice the lady behind the cash register bow as he entered the room? I thought she was going to dive to the floor.
I can't imagine what military officers have chat about in a grocery store. Life must hurt.
