by: Starburst We are thousands of miles away from our home in California yet stumbled across a broken down snowboard and decided to rip it up on some sand dunes like we were on a south of the border run! So fun! |

by: Starburst It's not every day you can be in a desert and come across water temps that are 93 degrees. Even less common is to find surf at this destination that otherwise never has any surf at all! An awesome dumb luck discovery! |

by: Starburst The whole purpose of our trip to Dubai was to explore contradictions in action. Snowboarding in a desert was the main focus for sure, but Dubai offers a lot more that also fits the bill. So Pierre and I opted to hit up an indoor skydiving facility nearby and found out just how much fun these contradictions can be. - Eddie. |

Dubai - Day 2 Blog: Hitting the Slopes
by: Starburst
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.
Inside of Ski Dubai
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!
