2/9/2006: Indoor ski resort
http://cellar.org/2006/snow-1.jpg
Where else but Dubai? In the background you can see the hotel that IotD has featured a few times, most notably with Tiger Woods driving a ball off the heliport. Turns out they needed a ski resort. In the desert. And since they have more money than... anyone, they can manage to get that done. http://cellar.org/2006/snow-2.jpg http://cellar.org/2006/snow-3.jpg http://cellar.org/2006/snow-4.jpg http://cellar.org/2006/snow-5.jpg |
Doesn't look very cold.
May be a reasonable substitute destination for driving 4wd SUVs. |
Oh! My! God!
|
They'll be wanting to host the Winter Olympics next time.
|
There are quite a few of these things in Japan, and I think one recently opened in Shanghai too.
|
Yup.
We should think about this whenever we fill up our SUVs. Personally I think it's pretty grotesque, but that's just me. I mean, people in Texas go to Colorado to ski- seems like Dubaians (I made that up) could jet to the Alps (oops...Alpine glaciers are melting too). Chris |
Check out the lift lines. There is hardily anyone there.
|
jackets are all the same. think they're rentals? or is that the ski patrol?
|
I need pictures of some non-crazy Arabs. Please, somebody show me something that looks normal.
|
The best thing about sking is the fresh mountain air and the scenery......uh. nevermind. :smack:
|
I can't imagine the energy needed to keep that thing running, nice waste of resources...
:thepain3: |
Does anyone else think it's stupid that they still have lifts?

Welcome to the Cellar, PhillipOnLine. :D |
Are their women allowed to ski too, or is this just a toy for the boys? I mean you have to have chicks on the slopes, right? What's skiiing without snowbunnies?
