Mudslide Blights Kim Jong-un's Ski Resort
"A mudslide caused by recent torrential downpours hit a new ski resort North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is building in Masikryong in Kangwon Province.
...
On one visit to the site in May, Kim ordered officials to speed up construction so the resort can open this winter."

Additional sharpshooters have been allocated to the project to ensure on-time performance :uzi:

Too bad, on Google Earth it looks like a fairly legitimate effort, 2200 vertical. http://www.snowjournal.com/page.php?cid=galimg33128
420 mm of rain is 16.5 inches (in 2 days). Worse than Irene.

It's gonna all be backcountry with no base facilities...

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....

I don't see any chairlifts in those photos. Are there going to be lifts? If so, who is putting them in? Probably neither Poma or Doppelmayr.

Yeah, that wouldn't look to good on their lift resume. I can see it on their homepage... "Doppelmayr is now the official lift company of North Korea!" :/
I would not be surprised if Dear Leader makes his own lifts or if he is like Chuck Norris and does not need a chairlift to ski.

Let's put Kim Jong-un on this lift...
Classic! That is a crazy video and really demonstrates the forces on a lift.

To bad dear leader was not in the mud slide.
Dear Leader would have shredded that mudslide like Shaun White. Unless he decide to make it part around him.

He'd probably just nuke it with his invisible nuclear weapons.
Or he'd just order the mud back up the hill, but not before making it repair any damage and sentencing it and its children to 20 years in a re-education camp.
or he'd eat the mudslide
