its handy for the location if you live in the area, but if you've ever gone to a real mountain then its a bit of a let down. since there arent any mountains nearby it makes obtaining gear difficult so your kind of forced to just rent their gear. who's going to pack snow clothes and a board to dubai?

you're better off packing alcohol and shorts.

I was there about 5-6 years ago and took a few runs. If your there living in the desert, I think it's pretty cool to get out of the heat for some turns, and they occasionally have some fun park features set up. Don't know why some are giving the place a bad rap. There's lots to do, sort of like Vegas on steroids.]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2013 12:59:43 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35842&PID=1232495#1232495 Ski Dubai : Well I live in Dubai....

I saw a similar place in Japan when I was there a few years ago. The building looked like a huge slide and I didn't know what it was until I saw the signs. Pretty sweet, but I'm much happier with the Tahoe area mountains.

I flew through Dubai on another trip and it's hard to imagine skiing there because it's so hot, dry and flat. I'm not surprised that they built one of these places with all the money they seem to have over there.
