Dubai Snowboarding

Avatar

Hey so I’m heading to Dubai in the next few weeks and I’m looking at going to the Snow Park there.

Has anyone been there or know someone who has?

It’s pretty freakin cheap only $80 AUD for the day including all the gear so I’m pretty keen to check it out even if it is shite.

I’ve read some online info but want to know what you guys think.

There’s a BW Member on here “Turbaned turtle”, that spends a bit of time in the skate section!!!!!

He’s originally from Dubai, and I’m pretty sure that he’s ridden it!!!!! (Although I might have dreamt it)

EDITED

Hey I was there In the dubai summer 2012
It had a couple of boxes and some mini kickers and that was about it. Pretty amazing considering 45 degrees outside and minus in there smile.
It has a chairlift up the centre and a pommer off to the left side. Don’t be fooled it’s one of the most intense pommer rides you will ever do, good luck getting to the top 1st go haha. Steep as shit and turns a corner haha

Not a bad run, heaps of tourists who have never seen snow so they stick to the tube park. So minimal lines smile you get the odd local bandit on skiis haha.

Best of all are the blue Jump suits you hire. Dubai winter Olympic team haha.

You will love it. Amazing experience.
