Not to be a dick, but what is it?

Is it an in-door ski resort or something like that?

I'm pretty sure there is something similar to this in North America... probably not at such a grand scale. sweet pics though. i hope i see that on some megastructures show.

btw our gas is very cheap.

yes. I've seen one like this in japan I believe.

That'll sure attract alot of tourists, seeing as how it's in Saudi Arabia and all.

I was thinking the same thing. I know I've seen something like this before on television, and I think it was in Japan.

Japan also has those indoor skiing places where you ski on what is basically inverted brushes... I would assume you would want dull edges....

It's in Dubai, where pretty much everyone is a multi-millionaire.

Are they done building it? - If so, how do they know?

They already have one. I watched it a couple weeks ago.

I just read their oil was supposed to run out around 2020. They need to enjoy their riches while they have them.

Yeah, UAE is a crazy country. One of my good friends moved out to Dubai. He's making $500,000 a year tax free for teaching at the American university there. They made the worlds largest man made island (redundant I know), that giant indoor ski resort, and by 2008 or so, the worlds tallest and most expensive building, at around $20 billion.

It's crazy cause of all the ridiculous clubs, resorts and beaches they have but what's nuts is if you go there you basically have no rights whatsoever cause in order to be a citizen, you must either be of royal blood or be born muslim in UAE. Born christian or hindu or whatever in UAE? Sorry! Still not a citizen.

HA! Those losers! In America, we have enough money to cool an entire mountain range, allowing US to ski OUTSIDE!!
