Welcome to Wallyworld

Dubai does downhill Those crazy towelheads! Look what's opening tomorrow in downtown Dubai. And to think I just spent an arm and a leg skiing in the French Alps. I love this! Outside it's 45° C and inside it's 1°-2° C. What a concept! And I guess you can ski in your robes as well. Do you reckon they'll hire out Lawrence of Arabia-style ski-suits? Let's hope so. And where do you park your camel? Does it need snow-chains?

"Ski Dubai has 5 runs that vary in difficulty, height and steepness, the longest run being 400 meters with a fall of over 60 meters.
