A lot of media attention was drawn this week to Kim Jong-un's visit to the "Masik Pass Skiing Ground," under construction on the east coast. This, however, is not the DPRK's first foray into skiing. The DPRK's first ski run is a simple downhill slope at the resort town of Samjiyon--in the far north east in the shadow of Mt. Paektu (pictured above).
