So, how awesome is this?? Lets say you live in Dubai where the average low temperature for the coldest month of the year is only 70 degrees. It never snows there...so what do you do if you want to go skiing? This was a problem for them so...they fixed it! Ski Dubai: Opened in November 2005 as part of the largest shopping mall in the world, this indoor ski resort features an 85-meter-high indoor mountain with 5 slopes of varying steepness and difficulty, including a 400-metre-long run, the worlds first indoor black run, and various features (boxes, rails, kickers) that are changed on a regular basis. A quad lift and a tow lift carry skiers and snowboarders up the mountain. Adjoining the slopes is a 3,000-square-metre Snow Park play area comprising sled and toboggan runs, an icy body slide, climbing towers, giant snowballs and an ice cave. Ski Dubai is also home to a number of penguins who come out to play several times a day. Penguin encounters can be booked, allowing the public to interact directly with the penguins. Winter clothing, ski and snowboard equipment are included in the price of admission. That is just too awesome!!!
