Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

North Korean dictator orders PistenBully for himself
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il isn't just playing around with his country's latest products, atom bombs, anymore. He also has a penchant for high-quality German goods. The dictator and his sybaritic entourage of obedient party officials have been living it up with imported Western luxury and entertainment goods for years, including the expensive equipment for their very own ski resort. And they ordered a PistenBully for their private ski resort.
Quote:
The order came as a big surprise to the sales staff at the all-terrain vehicle manufacturer Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeuge in Laupheim, Germany. In fact, they thought it was a joke at first. But the customer, who had mailed the request from an address in the Italian capital, was deadly serious. He wrote that he wanted to buy the Model 100, the smallest of Kässbohrer's PistenBully special-purpose vehicles, but with one modification: it had to come with a Mercedes Benz engine. The customer was an official at the North Korean embassy in Rome.What on earth did communist dictator Kim Jong Il's poverty-stricken realm want with a German-made snow groomer? With whom exactly did the despot plan to go sledding?


The whole story is in Spiegel (a German weekly) in English.

Anybody ever skied there? Very Happy
Need to ask CIA for the ski resort map? Very Happy

kerekip, thanks for posting that story - it is sickening and the sooner that Kim Jung Il and his regime is consigned to the dustbin of history, the better Twisted Evil

Skiing is relatively extensive in North Korea. It is quite far north, so conditions can be good. In fact, many South Koreans want to reunite with the North so they can get easy access to some bigger hills!

Has anyone ever stopped to consider that he might just want the pistenbully and nuke for a bit of serious avalanche clearance work? Why play around with little sticks of jelly doing one slope at a time when a nuke can do a whole domain in one go!
