In the Mall of the Emirates, you find Ski Dubai, an indoor ski slope of 85m high and 400m long. There are five different slopes with various difficulty levels. What we find amazing is that around the Indoor Ski hall, you have several restaurants, enjoy dinner while watching people ski. We took our pictures from the Salmontini restaurant through the window. This reduces the quality of the pictures but there was no other option. We particularly liked the snow park with bobsleds, tubes and snow caverns. The temperature in the ski hall is just below zero, we can not imagine how powerful the cooling system must be when it is extremely hot outside. This article must be a nightmare for people who are worried about the environment but the kids love Dubai Ski. By the way, how do you like the Arab guy with his long green winter coat?
Ski Dubai, vind je terug in de Mall of the Emirates. Het indoor park heeft een afdaling van 85m hoog en 400m lang. Er zijn vijf verschillende bergjes met elk hun moeilijkheidsgraad. We vinden het fantastisch dat er rond de skipiste goede restaurants gevestigd zijn, van waar je een uitstekend zicht hebt op de sneeuwpret. We namen onze foto’s van uit het restaurant Salmontini. Wel van achter het venster waardoor de kwaliteit van de foto’s iets minder is. In het bijzonder hielden we van het sneeuwpark met zijn bobsleeën, banden, ballen en sneeuw grotten. De temperatuur in de hal is juist onder het vriespunt. We kunnen ons niet inbeelden hoe sterk de koelingsinstallatie moet zijn om de extreem hete temperaturen te kunnen overwinnen. Dit artikel moet echt een nachtmerrie zijn voor milieu bewuste mensen onder ons, maar de kinderen houden van Dubai Ski. Tussen haakjes, wat vinden jullie van de Arabische man in zijn lange groene winterjas.?

ReplyDeleteeverything is possible nowadays when its for making money...as skiing in the low lands:-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting! this looks very much like an ice show that is done in Dallas every year for about a month before Christmas. Last year the had a team of four full sized horses and a huge sleigh that a whole family could sit in, all carved from ice. Gorgeous. I also see a slide in your photos that looks very familiar from the Dallas show. Must cost alot to make this happen.
ReplyDeleteVery interesant! They have to come to Finland, we have snow, under the sky :D Your fotos are super.
