Ski Dubai – World SkiBoard Championship 2008

Just when I thought the season was over for the Dubai gigs, and it was time to get ready for the summer elsewhere, Eclipse came up with the World SkiBoard Championship to take place in the indoors ski slope we have here in Dubai called the Ski Dubai.

The piste is over 1200 meters downhill, and it is around minus 8 degrees celcius, regardless of the weather outside.

At the time of the event, it was around 42 degrees outside :) Go figure

And here are the pictures

There are plenty of these in Ski Dubai to control the climate, and they have snow making noozles (not shown) to make the snow at night
