The hermit kingdom debuted the 50,000m2 resort near the northern city of Kanggye on Sunday, concluding a 10-month building project.
Propaganda boasts that it has a 530m-long main slope and a 200m-long beginners’ slope, as well as restaurants and accomodation.
And if there is no snow, the facility can manufacture its own using a local water source, the Rodong Sinmun newspaper said.
Kim Jong-un described the project as a way to help his people enjoy “the best civilization at the highest level”.
The North’s existing Masikryong Ski Resort uses a 30-year-old Austrian ski lift sold on by the Chinese.

But the lifts at the new resort were locally-built, evading UN sanctions which stop luxury goods entering North Korea.
State-run propaganda outlet, Arirang Meari, called the homemade lifts a “response to the mischief of the US and its followers”.
Another report said the facilities were built at “Masikryong speed” – making reference to the rapid construction of the existing ski resort.
While a report from last year said workers were spurred on by last July’s successful test of the Hwasong-14 intercontinental ballistic missile.
The North says construction necessitated the moving of 60,000m³ of soil, and that the resort is now “well equipped” for sleds, and beginner and intermediate skiers.
These facilities, Kim Jong-un said, “contribute to building a socialist power with a healthy body” by encouraging citizens to undertake physical education.
