I just saw on the discovery channel that the "black run" is going to have parts at a 45 degree angle. thats pretty crazy for an indoor run.

they showed how they were building the 45 degree run so the snow would stay on it, giant concrete steps

That place is crazy sick. If I end up being a civil engineer instead of mechanical, I want a job building indoor ski slopes.

I used to work as an instructor there, it's now open and pretty good fun - i'm the only freestyle skier so hoping to launch a Dubai freestyle team in the next few months, the funniest thing is all the expats living here haven't ski'd since they left their original countries so they all ski with their feet together, v v funny!
