Ski Dubai: Indoor Ski Dome in the Desert

— December 28, 2005 — World
"Skiing in one of the warmest countries in the world? Bring it on.... Indoors of course! The United Arab Emirates have developed the world's first largest indoor ski resort ever made and nobody goes over the top like the developers in this part of the world. Encompassing over 6.5 million square feet over 3 levels, and including over 420 specialty stores. This resort, puts all others on ice. Ski Dubai is the first indoor ski dome that captures mountain spirit through changing terrain, multiple direction slopes and varying slope gradients with a constant supply of over 6,000 tons of real snow at any one time. The entertainment goes beyond the ski fields with the world's largest indoor theme park, with state of the art rides, plus a 500 seat theatre and cultural centre, so wether you ski or not, this over the top resort has got you covered. Opens next month at the Mall of the Emirates, Dubai." - Ski Dubai
