Uri Tours, a company specializing in Democratic People’s Republic of Korea vacations, has a great snowboard trip coming up the week of January 9-16, 2016. It’s closed now, but if we’d known a little earlier we could have hit up North Korea’s Masik Pass resort with “Terje Håkonsen, Dan “Danimals” Liedahl and “Mike Rav” Ravels.”
Yes, ya heard it! Tear it up with your favorite riders, get some tips, see some stunts, and mix it up with locals all against the backdrop of North Korea, an adventure in itself. Not only will we be delivering to you a chance of a lifetime to meet a few of the best snowboarders who have ever lived, we’ll be transporting you in style from Pyongyang straight to Masik Pass in an MI-17 chopper. Seats in the chopper are limited, which means we have to cap the trip at 15 people – so book early!
The trip was planned by Uri Tours in cooperation with Snowboarder Magazine, so maybe it will be so popular that they’ll do another one and we’ll all get another chance to snowboard the world’s most backward, closed off, oppressively draconian dictatorship. (Which reminds us, if you haven’t read Adam Johnson’s The Orphan Master’s Son, you really should.)
