Skiing in Dubai - Emirates Mall

[MEIST - Dubai 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8-Abu Dhabi - Jordan]



I had made a snow board trip with a buddy of mine to Glen Eden for just this reason. It would be attrocious to ski in Dubai without having done it in Canada first (Should the opportunity arrise, which it did). There were about 5 runs (including a terrain park and half pipe) and a two stage chairlift with a cafe at the midway point.

There were a few other guys who were interested in going as well. We decided to split off from the group in order to take a few quick runs down the artificial winter wonderland. We didn't have time to go back to the hotel to change (since we were quite a distance from the hotel returning from Sharjah) so we decided to go in suits.

We met some South Africans who were kind enough to take photos for us. One of the staff also commented: "In the three years I've worked here, I've never seen people ski in suits before."
