By the way, here is the problem. It was also reported that Italy and Austria have imposed export ban on the ski equipment to the North, citing The neutral country's sanctions list for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) also includes equipment for golf, horseback riding, water sports, billiards and casinos, as well as luxury watches, jewellery, caviar, perfume and artworks.
In this situation Kim Jong-un had big talks that the Masikryung ski resort would be one of the best in the world and would complete the construction of it. However, there is a big snag in his plan because of this export ban. By the way, I wonder that why he want to have that kind of big luxury ski resort in North Korea and why a nation's government and army troop is so involved in constructing a ski resort that many people and organizations are forced to be mobilized and to do labor while other country only a company can do. The most important thing is who will use it. According to the U.N.'s World Food Programme, almost North Korean children are stunted due to malnutrition.
For the impoverished socialist nation, skiing is regarded as a luxury sport for select people in the higher echelons, which the general public is unable to access. In fact, the admission fee is around 8000won which is nearly amount to as much money as one third of a teacher's salery in North Korea. Maybe nobody but some priveleged high class citizens can use this ski-resort. Korean leader Kim Jong-un spends too much money in his personal leisure and showing off.
