Kim Jong-un threatens to seize country with "skiing wave"
26 replies, posted
[QUOTE]Kim recently visited the location of the Masik Pass Skiing Ground to give "on the spot field guidance" on the construction of the resort, which will have beginner, intermediate and advanced-level routes on more than 68 miles of mountainside.
The highest peak in the mountains around the site rises more than 4,400 feet above sea level.
No expense is being spared on the project and the resort will have a hotel, cable cars, equipment stores and a heliport, the KCNA state media reported.
"[Kim] mounted an observation deck to hear a detailed report on the construction of the skiing ground," the report said.
"He was greatly satisfied to learn that soldier-builders have constructed a skiing area on mountain ranges covering hundreds of thousands of square metres."
Kim also commented that it would be "more fantastic" to see the ground covered with snow and ordered the military to accelerate the pace of the construction so that the resort is operational from the coming winter.
The site also benefits from its proximity to the Pyongyang-Wonsan motorway, while a nearby military airfield might be turned into an airport to handle an anticipated surge in tourists.
KCNA quoted Kim as saying that once the resort is completed, "A skiing wave will seize the country."
The North Korean leader also ordered the domestic production of skiing equipment and clothing as sanctions imposed on the regime by the United Nations in the wake of Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programmes forbid imports of luxury goods.

I dunno but I wouldn't go to a resort being made and possibly even run by the DPRK, if Jurassic Park existed, I'd rather die there than in Kim's resort.
But hell, if they can do it right, I bet it'll help NK somewhat with their economy, I think.

If Jurassic Park really existed, I would rather die there than do a lot of things.
This'll be a great way for North Koreans to burn off all those nasty calories!
Oh wait

You could use skeletal North Korean citizens as skis
Oh, North Korea.
[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;40803249]You could use skeletal North Korean citizens as skis[/QUOTE]
bones on your feet just wouldn't be comfortable when you ski down those snowy hills, becoming the next set of skeletal ski's thanks to faulty ones wouldn't be fun
The only use this will serve is a defensive position for NK troops during the next eventual war
How does Kim un-threaten a country?
Give them their wasted time back?
Coming winter? It's summer right now!
Guys watch out. Those skiing soldiers can totally shoot down our jets.
We are so fucked.

Either Kim has suddenly become extremely enthusiastic about skiing or he is more interested in grabbing some medals in some of the new Skiing events in the winter Olympics next year. China has really capitalized on some of the skiing events like Aerials because they require little skiing skill and are more about spinning 12300 times.
Aside from the awful civil rights violations if skiing really became a national sport like he predicts I would move there :v:

have fun getting arrested for your portrait of the Dear Leader slanted by two degrees off center.
All the slopes are ranked by difficulty in an Inception winter hummer.

I'd like to see it.
Nice to know he has his priorities straight. And no offense to NK engineering, think i'll give the cable cars a pass.
So that's where Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un will be having their vacation.
Checkmate, North Korea:
