About Ski Dubai
Features
The indoor ski destination boasts of the world’s first indoor black diamond run and five slopes of varying steepness and difficulty for people to learn, practice, and compete. Besides skiing, it also has facilities for snowboarders.
The indoor skiing spot also has a quad tow lift that carries skiers and snowboards right to the top of the 85-feet-tall mountain.
Snow World
Next to the skiing slopes is a 3000 square meter Snow Park that has a whole new set of activities for people who can’t or don’t want to ski, but still want to be a part of the fun. Snow Park Dubai has sled and toboggan runs, an ice slide, an ice cave, and a play house with towers and corridors to explore.
The best part about Ski Dubai isn’t even the Ski slope or the Snow World, but the penguins that are let out several times in a day. This is a separate feature called Penguin Encounters where one can take pictures and get some penguin kisses. It is very popular among people of all ages.
The only thing you could say is missing is an ice rink to complete the icy experience. However, you can always head to The Dubai Mall as they have one of the biggest Dubai ice rinks.
