    Interesting that NZ is on there, and Australia isn’t. For me it’s super obvious that NZ has ski slopes, while it’s weird that we have them here in Australia.

    “How much money do they have anyways?”

    Obviously not enough to feed 90% of their population…

    What?? Dubai is one of the richest cities in the world. The people there are not starving… better check your facts next time chief.

    And another place you wouldn’t expect to go skiing would be in Rutherford, New Jersey (like 10 mins away from New York City). They are building the Xanadu there, it’s some monstrosity that’s taking over the area Giant Stadium used to be. They are supposed to big a huge ski slope there too… I think it’s the first one in America too…

    I cannot help myself but I have quite a problem with places like Dubai having artificial ski slopes. In my opinion it’s hard to top the decadence of that nowadays. But hey; it’s just me.

    of course no indoor ski area in the desert can be considered environmentally friendly.

    Like they give a damn.
