found it! by far the best way to beat the summer heat: ski dubai.
we humans have come up with some crazy ideas in our time, but this one is pretty up there on the list. a ski slope in a mall in the middle of one of the hottest places on the planet... why not?!
i've always wanted to learn to snowboard (admittedly because i love the direction snowboard design has taken, i would buy a snowboard just to hang on my wall)... but every time i go for a ski vacation i always end up deciding against it because who really wants to spend their vacation falling in their butt the whole day when they could be swishing down a mountain?!
so this is perfect. an hour on the weekend, its blazing hot out, what have i better to do than learn?
there are about 4 levels of lessons at ski dubai. being a skier first, i wasn't sure what my reaction to snowboarding would be, but i loved it! it is so streamlined, you don't have to deal with 2 skis and 2 poles all wanting to go in separate directions. it is one board and your balance. granted this isn't something you can master overnight, i see some good times for snowboarding and i in the future :)
i did my first lesson as a group lesson with a few of my friends that way we could laugh with each other.
maybe one day we will be good enough to take my skills to a real mountain with one of these:
