SKI IN THE DESERT? IT COULD ONLY HAPPEN IN DUBAI
Rob Orchard and Marcus Webb check out this season’s hottest new ski resort
It’s 35 degrees outside and it’s just started to snow. Not content with temperature-
controlled beaches and a manmade archipelago, the sun-baked emirate of Dubai has decided
to introduce Alpine weather into the desert. 7.1. Two weeks ahead of its scheduled
opening date of 2 December, we have been invited for a sneak preview.
As we pass through the entrance a rush of glacial wind pushes itself to the base of our
lungs and we feel the crunch of fresh snow underfoot. 7.2. Two young men having
a snowball fight, fir trees hanging heavy with frost and a handful of black-coated visitors
trudging up a steep, snow-white hill like a pack of penguins. Central to this snapshot of wintry
perfection are two Emiratis in white robes kneeling in eight inches of powder, letting snow
run through their fingers and giggling at the sheer insanity of it all.
Even in this endlessly ambitious city, taking temperatures of up to 45°C down to
below zero seemed crazy. 7.3. It’s currently engaged in a number of surreal super
projects: building the first ever underwater hotel; constructing a theme park that’s larger than
the city itself; and erecting the tallest tower in the world - the Burj Dubai, whose height is
a closely guarded secret. Next year will see the opening of the Palm Island project, a vast
manmade archipelago stretching into the Persian Gulf. For Dubai, ‘moderation’ is a dirty
word.
Ski Dubai juts out of the Mall of the Emirates - the largest shopping centre outside
the States - like a giant metallic elbow. Just off Dubai’s main motorway, the tube-like
structure is far from pretty, an unusual blip in this aesthetically conscious city. 7.4.
Craning our necks to take in the cavernous 22,500 square metre space, we trudge around
mountains and igloos to the foot of the complex’s five-slope arena. Unlike the snow park - the
ski-free area at the foot of the hill - the slopes are not yet open to the public and the sight of
this pristine white carpet sweeping upwards and out of view is eerie and intimidating.
7.5. Yet within a fortnight this virgin snow will be being carved up by 1,500 skiers
and snowboarders.
We reach the mid-point smiling but out of breath. It’s home to the Avalanche Cafe,
a balconied chalet which will soon be warming weary skiers with fondue, hot chocolate
and the dubious pleasures of non-alcoholic mulled wine. For now this is as far as we are
allowed to go, but around the corner, at the very top of the 85-metre high building, lies Ski
Dubai’s longest run.
