Watching Really Big Things on Science HD; they are doing a story on the world's largest indoor downhill ski resort; Ski Dubai.

Imagine, 120 degrees F outside, 30 degrees inside; 200,000 sq. feet of ski area, 400 meter drop, 30" snow base. Perfect snow every day. Oh, and 25 stories tall. Connected to a mall and hotel.

Amazing. Its unbelievable what oil money can buy. :rolleyes:

BTW, only $73 / day for a pass, rental, and winter clothes. That won't even buy you a day at Vail or Aspen, without the rentals.... :)
