It's Cool ( no pun intended). They showed it on one of those travel programs a couple of months ago. What a great idea, snow field in the desert.

[Little_Fox]

I was sent this quite a while back. It is a really obscure idea, but it seems to work.

Keeps their ears warm

I think that is ridiculous. What community good could possibly come out of that?

*I will refrain from the rest of my comments*

 

[AGAMIDAE]

thats crazy...but cool..get it ...cool...lol

 

[Retic]

Community good ? What do you mean ? I think it is built for people to have fun, an odd concept maybe but hugely popular as I understand it.

 

[AntaresiaLady]

Fair enough....I would have just thought that the money could be better spent elsewhere in Dubai.

I've heard some stories about Dubai is all. No drama...if they wanna ski in the desert let 'em...Just a bit of a waste to me is all.

I was lucky enough to visit Dubai and actually see first hand this man made ski slope. The whole city is crazy, from the 7 star hotel to the man made palm trees in the water. Ill get post some pics soon of some other amazing places in the city.

Cheers Alex

not bad

 

[Retic]

But isn't that true of anywhere ? Of course that money could be spent on other things but it's an incredibly rich part of the world so I say good on 'em.
