The largest indoor

snow park in the

world has opened
in the Gulf Emirate
of Dubai.
The area under snow is the equivalent of three football
pitches, with runs built inside a giant, slanting metal tube
around 25 floors high.
Built on what was
previously desert sand, the
slopes will be covered with
manufactured snow all year
round.

The centre has green, blue,

red and black runs, chairlifts
and snow patrols, like any
other ski resort.

A snow park next door has

tobogganing, icy bobsleigh
runs and a ski school.

Anyone wanting to ski on

the main slopes will have to
prove their competence
before being allowed to do
so.
All clothing and equipment is provided in the entrance price of $35, including
black, knee-length padded coats for any Arabs who prefer to wear their
traditional kandouras to visit the snow - but skiing in the robes will be banned.
The snow is
made by
shooting
water at high
pressure into
an
atmosphere
maintained at
around
freezing point
by coolers
both below
and above
the slopes.
Ski Dubai has 5
slopes that vary in
difficulty, height and
steepness, the
longest run being
400 meters with a fall
of over 60 meters.
Your skis will carry
you down the
slope, and our
quad-chairlift and
tow lift will
promptly carry you
back to the top for
another run.
 You will enjoy our themed restaurants;
the St Moritz Café at the entrance to Ski
Dubai, and the Avalanche Café at the
mid-station, with views of the slope. Our
exclusive retail shop,

Snow Pro, has expert staff to advise you on your equipment needs
and our team of professional instructors will guide you through the
simple, fun process of learning to ski or snowboard.
Until now Dubai has
been a destination for
warm beach holidays.

But the ski slope is

likely to be most
popular, especially for
residents, during
Dubai's harsh summer
when temperatures Visit http://joyaldias.weebly.com
reach well above 40C. thank you
