2/9/2006: Indoor ski resort
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. |

Doesn't look very cold.
May be a reasonable substitute destination for driving 4wd SUVs.

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 |

Does anyone else think it's stupid that they still have lifts?

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?
