[center]Your Gasoline Purchases At Work !!!!!!!!!!!
AN ENGINEERING MASTER PIECE



During the construction phase......


All Finished...



Remember, this is in the middle of the desert....
The very HOT desert where temperatures get up to 120 degrees.....

No real differance to any other snow dome. Perhaps a little bigger. As for gas prices. when your paying $6+ a gallon then you can really complain. And yep we get it from the same places. I must ask though, how do you know this was paid for by gasoline money? Sorry not a jab at you personally Dave. Looks alot nicer than Tamworth snow dome:)

I am not having a jab at anybody or where this is either.
Somebody sent it to me.

I have never seen one of these before Craig. You mean there are others?

I guess if you do not have mountains or the weather to support skiing conditions, that a man made project like this at least will give you some perception of what it is all about.


Dave

I dont know if there are other buildings that look like that. But snow domes yes. We have one near here called the Tamworth snow dome. Just in a rather large building.

There it is.

Snow and ice in Dubai... what will they come up with next?  :)

Oh wait, I heard Wacko Jacko is in the area!  ;D

Snow domes?

Sorry, but for someone who is used to seeing snow all winter, and in the mountains 6-7 months out of the year, the idea is a little amusing...


But, a lot of people who live in warm climates have never seen snow, so I can see how it would be exciting to be able to play in the snow indoors in the hottest regions of the world.

Oh wait, I heard Wacko Jacko is in the area

He is there, I think that is him under that polar bear outfit!  :o

You've gotta love Dubai for that

250 euros/hour...

i don't know how much an all-in trip with helicopters and so on to Demavent (yes... that's the ski outing for the saudi sheiks...) costs, but it surely is a gap in the market that they are trying to fill

Holy!!shhh, Ive never seen,worth I din't know its existance ,a snow factory in the middle of a desert,for sky,wow,We are very close to begin to populate the deep of the ocean with cities very soon though,..


I used to believe I ve seen everything,.....Far from it

.....Good Shots Dave

The Largest of those stands inI think... Japan somewhere..

We also have one in the neigborhood

Never been there though..

A great peice of engineering and to have that in the desert too is quite a feat.

He is there, I think that is him under that polar bear outfit!  :o

Lol! That got me laughing Dave!.

On the other hand, from an engineering standpoint, it really is an interesting project!

As for gas prices when we pay nearly $7 a gallon in the UK - I think we have much more to cry about. I think the US folks could start by reducing the car weight and sizes down a bit before speaking.
