Eddie's indoor front board to 180 out.
Dubai builds everything -- from the tallest buildings to man-made islands and even an indoor snowboarding mountain. Our first full day there we go to the largest indoor ski resort - Ski Dubai. The name itself is a contradiction.
It is one crazy experience to walk from 100-degree weather into 35-degree weather. It feels like jumping into a giant freezer on a hot day.
Ski Dubai has everything an outdoor resort has to offer: snow caves, tubing, gate skiing, a snowball-fight area, park features, and of course a chair lift.
The ceiling is painted blue and when you are on the chair lift or making some turns, sometimes you actually forget you are indoors.
The park staff was nice enough to make us some fun jumps and features, so we just went to work... or is it play? Ha!
