The ski run is 400 meters and they fill it with 6,000 tons of artificial snow (which you can buy - see below). There's a few amazing jumps inside and a little bunny hill for the little tots. They have one 4 person ski lift and a tow rope. At the bottom they have a little snow park where kids can bobsled and play. In the middle of the run there's a little ski lodge called the Avalanche Cafe where Curt and T went to warm up and eat a crepe. T was actually cold! I think the indoor temperature was about -4 degrees C. T's visit to the Avalanche Cafe was a good adventure as he reported back about their delicious crepes. Second best to Paris!
These are only a few of the photos. Bojan took some of us on his camera which he'll send and Curt also took some videos on another of our cameras. I'll add those soon.
The 4 of us on the ski lift.
This is what it looks like from the bottom of the ski run.
And an outdoor shot.
Here are the kids playing with the fake snow that they were selling outside. A small box was about 95 AED (dirhams) which is about 26USD. The powder turns to snow by adding water. It increases in size by 100 times and can be reused 3 times. The salesman explained that after 2 days it returns to powder form if the temperature is not cold enough. The video below shows the kids testing it out. They thought it was so cool.
