So i decided to make a little update to show you some of the new park features inside ski dubai, we recently had the Gaybladers world cup held in ski dubai, and in all honesty they were sick, not as sick as proper skiiers though! But what this did give us is some new features for us to play around on, and here they are-

New C-Rail set up-

New Cannon-

And the new big kicker-

Also the quater pipe has been reshaped recently which is pretty sick, dont have any pictures of that though, it may not be great, but its awsome for summer skiing.

That's sick, everything's so perfect. It would be fun, but I think the novelty would wear off rather fast.

HAhahaha, I couldn't help but laughing at the skiboard racing.

This one shows the jumps better



looks like a 15ft deck, 20 to landing but you can probably take it pretty far and land flat.

Yeah some of my mates were in that second vid, sick. And the only problem with that kicker is its placed at the bottom of the slope after a very flat section of the slope, so speed gets drained real fast just before you hit it.

hey SkiDubaiGuy, i'm just curious.  Do you work for that "indoor mtn" or something and are you trying to promote it worldwide?  Are you a UAE citizen or do you just work there?

You could get so good so quickly there since you could ski all the time.

Ok ill try awnser all questions in one post-

The snow in ski dubai is pretty much real snow, it feels exactly the same and in some ungroomes places it can be boot deep, the snow is made from residue left over from the airconditioning in the mall, recycled, made into snow and sprayed from the roof onto the runs, then the two pieste groomers groom the runs

I am not from the UAE, I am not an arab, although i do use some arabic steeze from time to time. I am from the UK.

I work there part time.

I think that was all the questions, any more just ask, oh and that indoor one above looks sick, if they put them in ski dubai someone would hit the roof!

fuck you dude, you're not a very good ambassador for ski dubai. Maybe if your little indoor shit hill wasn't the perfect size for skiboarding people wouldn't do it there. Or maybe if Dubai had any grip on the snowsports industry you wouldn't even be hosting that event. But to call it gayblading is just lame. Fuck you and fuck Dubai, that whole place is a gayland, with your fake ass islands and poser ass skyscrapers, rediculous drug laws. You have thrown away all of your culture for a quick buck. Do you  even work for Ski Dubai?
