    Actually, There was an entire episode on The Discovery Chanel's Extreme Engineering. It was quite interesting.!

    There is one major downfall to the whole Ski Dubai business model, with a constant indoor temperature of -1º to -2º C (28º to 30 º F) . . . NO CUTE, BIKINI-CLAD, GIRLS SPRING SKIING. :blink:

    Wth indoor skiing!

    Well, as cool as that is, nothing beats real snow and real mountains.

    actually this is sort of funny: http://www.skidubai.ae/pricing_eng.htm?mid=1&sid=8 when you go skiing in the desert, they have to include a jacket with your rental equieptment.

    What are those prices in USD?
    The current exchange rate is Dh 3.675 = US$ 1
    so a ski slope day pass 220 Dh = $60 USD
