    Actually, There was an entire episode on The Discovery Chanel's Extreme Engineering. It was quite interesting.!

    Wth indoor skiing!

    Well, as cool as that is, nothing beats real snow and real mountains.

    actually this is sort of funny: http://www.skidubai.ae/pricing_eng.htm?mid=1&sid=8 when you go skiing in the desert, they have to include a jacket with your rental equieptment.

    What are those prices in USD?
    The current exchange rate is Dh 3.675 = US$ 1
    so a ski slope day pass 220 Dh = $60 USD
