I also noticed that it was mentioned that Xanadu, at the Meadowlands in upper New Jersey (where the Giants play) will include indoor trails! I did not know that...cool, maybe I can ski in the summer!

Yes, Xanadu will have an indoor ski slope--as of now, it's supposed to be opening in the October-November 2008 timeframe. Hopefully it'll stay on schedule. Maybe we can plan a Diva day at Xanadu once it's open!!

 

[vanhoskier]

Yeah, I think we definitely should have a Diva Day at Xanadu...but we need to wait til the summer so we can get some skiing in the months of July or August!

 

[SueNJ]

Absolutely! Summer of 2009!

 

[Kiragirl]

Unbelieveable.... Dubai?

Yes... It's true. Where else can it be 110 degree and snow skiing. Answer: Dubai

I was there on business and not for skiing but was I in for a pleasant surprise. Fun, Fun, Fun!

I mean don't expect double black diamond runs or steep chutes and runs but how can you complain when you're in the middle of the desert. When you're done skiing go swim in the ocean. Yes, it's true.

I had a blast but just know it's for fun and not to be picked apart for what it doesn't have because what it does offer is snow (sort of) where you'd least expect it.

I didn't have a camera but you can google it. I found a site to share.

My brother has skied there with his kids while stationed in UAE. Now he's in Japan and I'm not sure where they've been skiing. I'll stick to NE

Oh, Japan looks like such a cool place to ski! It's on my dream list for sure.

Oh, I would so join you for a Diva Day in NJ if I could. I come to the NY area anyway in August, would be great if we could coordinate that. We could get some great photos~
