About Skiing in North Korea
Skiing in North Korea is a relatively new and developing activity, primarily centered around the Masikryong Ski Resort, the country's first luxury ski destination which opened in 2014. The government has invested in developing skiing infrastructure to attract foreign tourists and provide recreational facilities for its citizens.
Did You Know?
North Korea's main ski resort, Masikryong, was constructed by the military in just ten months, a feat promoted as "Masikryong Speed." Due to international sanctions, a deal for a Swiss ski lift was blocked, and an older Austrian-made gondola was sourced from China instead. The country has expressed interest in co-hosting Winter Olympics events in the past.
