Sking in the Middle East!

In The Mall of The Emirates is Ski Dubai, the indoor ski slopes the mall is so well known for. The above picture is the exterior of the slopes. They rent you the skis or tubes (for tubing) and even the ski suits, boots and gloves. It is such a funny sight because everyone is dressed the same! They even give ski lessons.

Me in the chalet having a latte overlooking the slopes!
It has a four-sided fireplace with a TV screen showing a picture of a fire on all sides!
The slopes are at an end of the mall with restaurants and cafes
on two levels around three sides.
The windows you see on the top right are some of the restaurants.
You enter into the cavern in the rock and then climb stairs to get to the top of the tubing run.
There was a group of about fifty kids getting ready to go "play"!
The indoor ski slopes and indoor ice skating rink in Marina mall
in Abu Dhabi should be open soon!

Unbelievable! I wonder if we could get an imitation "summer fun" building here in KY that would have sunshine therapy for when I am sick of cold gray winter skies? So - did you go tubing?
