A South Korean inspection delegation traveled to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Tuesday to inspect venues where joint cultural and sports events will take place during the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
The team is making a three-day tour of the eastern Mount Kumgang area and the Masikryong Ski Resort, Yonhap reports.
The visit by 12 officials came after a DPRK team's two-day stay in South Korea to inspect art performance venues in Seoul and Gangneung, a sub-host city of the Games.
Ski slopes stretching down from Taehwa peak, the top of Masikryong Ski Resort.
The DPRK delegation is using the East Sea Line, one of the two inter-Korean passes, which has not been used since October 2015.
A performance hall and other facilities in the Mount Kumgang resort, where a joint cultural event will be held, will be the first site inspected.
The delegation will then move to the ski slope in Masikryong to check roads and facilities ahead of joint ski training.
A trip to Kalma Airport, a military airfield that could be used to fly in South Korean ski trainees, is also likely during the three-day visit.
A second DPRK inspection team will come to the South to tour Olympic stadiums and accommodation on the day the South Korean delegation returns home, according to Yonhap.
The 2018 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games will run from February to March.
