Midwestern Gothic

Unique, ubiquitous, and on the tip of your tongue.

Ski Dubai

There you are, standing outside a gas station, pumping away your life savings. Gas prices have tripled in 10 years. As far as I’m concerned, the cost of extracting oil from the Earth hasn’t increased. What then, are those Middle Easterners doing with all of your hard earned cash?

In a perfect world, it could feed the worlds’ hungry. It could clothe the homeless. Cure diseases. Compensate Steve Carell for all those laughs.

It the United Arab Emirates, your hard earned cash doesn’t just buy gold palaces. It buys indoor ski resorts!

Welcome to Ski Dubai. With it’s 6000 tons of artificial snow, you can ski in the desert. Where else in the world can you hop off your camel, leave your turban at the door, and toboggan down the icy slopes!

In 2008, Dubai will open it’s second indoor ski resort, the Dubai Sunny Mountain Ski Dome. It will feature a revolving ski slope, an artificial mountain range, an ice bridge, a cable lift, a snow maze, an ice slide, polar bears cold water-aquaria and special sound and light effects.

In the United States, we get tax breaks to purchase alternative fuel vehicles. The Middle East will pay double if you don’t live Green.
