The Dubai ski resort, the scale and size just amazes me, notice the size of the palm trees, not to say it's about 130 degree in the shade.

I saw a documentary all about that slope. Apparently the insulation is that impressive, if they were to turn off the refrigeration it would take 4 days to start melting

Legendary. That's why I love dubai- they do stuff like this just cos they can

Useful for those in between trips to the real snow!

There is a program on discovery on how they made it. I think it was extreme engineering?

I was going to say that I'd read something similar when we were out there. It doesnt actually consume as much energy as you might expect as its so well insulated. Quite a sight though isnt it!

And knowing Dubai, the word "efficiency" isn't even in the language. Just big!
