  • Dan: Hey guys, Dan here, in Dubai. So, what do you do when it’s 43 degrees outside and

  • you are sticky hot? You just wanna cool down? I’ll tell what you do, you go snowboarding

  • in an indoor snow park. Unbelievable.

  • Were strapped in and were getting ready to hit the slopes.

  • Oh wow! Look at this little zip line up here. Ha! Look at that. Theyve

  • got a zip-line, above a snowfield, inside a shopping mall, in the desert.

  • Seriously, can it get any weirder?

  • Now this is surreal. I’ve just come from 43 degrees outside,

  • wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and double pluggers to wearing a jacket, ski jacket mind you,

  • ski pants, boots, gloves, beanie, and I’m indoors, inside a snowpark, in the desert

  • of all places. This is, um, this is going to bring a tear to my eye. I’d hate to know

  • how much it costs to run this every day because, the electricity is on day-in, day-out. Like,

  • 24/7 this place is running, just to keep the snow. Surreal, absolutely surreal.

  • So if you look across to the left, there’s actually a J-bar running up to the side there as well.

  • It looks like a J-bar or a poma, so um, well give that a go. That’s actually pretty amazing,

  • because where that J-bar is, across the left here, is actually where all the shops are.

  • Um, so you can go up the side and there’s a glass panel or glass window that looks into

  • the whole shopping center while youre skiing.

  • This, is going to be fun. This is epic, seriously.

  • An indoor ski park, who would have thought of it?

  • Dan: A-mah-zing, absolutely a-mah-zing. Well I’m going to strap in, let’s do this.

  • Alright, getting some speed. Wooh, so good. I’m snowboarding, in the desert. Ripping

  • around this little whip down here.

  • Woah, it gets so icy through that little section there.

  • Let’s go, let’s go Jared. Haha, so good. Absolutely a-mah-zing. Let’s ski over to

  • the old t-bar.

  • I gotta warn you, I haven’t ridden a t-bar or a poma for a long time,

  • so if I stack, please be gentle. I remember being down in Persia, asking for a rocket

  • on one of these, hold on to one of these for a while, and then it shoots off. Not like

  • the old days, it’s a bit smoother down in Persia. I love the fact that there’s just

  • a shopping center up to my left, come up here, and then, TGIFridays up at the left, maybe

  • people are having lunch or dinner, having a brewski, while I’m here in minus temperatures

  • snowboarding. A-mah, zing. Here we go, here’s the first one, I’m gonna fall off one of

  • these. [Grunting] Oh my goodness, and the second one. This one is a bit worse because

  • it goes straight up as well. [Grunting] My inner thigh is gonna be so sore after this.

  • All my legs were bruised up from yesterdays flow rider. It’s a tough job, but someone’s

  • gotta do it. Taking one for the team.

  • Alright. Snowboarding in the desert. It doesn’t come

  • much sweeter. Alright, here we go, gonna traverse across. Gonna whip around this little whip

  • here. You know it. Cold. Cold. I liked that run actually. Coming from the, coming from

  • the far left, coming from the far left up here, you come down and whip across onto the

  • right, and then you come straight down. It’s probably the longest run you can actually

  • do. [Laughing] I don’t if you can see right behind me in the far distance, the chalet’s

  • at the top, snow chalet’s in the desert, and down at the bottom, a whole heap of restaurants

  • and fine dining. This place is insane. If you can dream about it I think it happens

  • in Dubai. Oh there’s the zip-line; the dude’s loving it, absolutely loving life.

  • Dan: ah. Someone’s absolutely stacked against the wall down here. You alright? You ok? Wow.

  • Brave girl. No problem. Wander if theyve got travel insurance? That little girl just

  • came streaming down, took a beeline straight for this fence over here. Absolutely smacked

  • it. A couple little tears, she’s back up, back up to hit it all over again.

  • You guys get a chance, come to Dubai, check it on your bucket list, even if you only spend a couple

  • days here on your way to Europe or somewhere, make sure you spend atleast 2 or 3 days here,

  • there’s so much to be done. Look, you can spend a whole day just at this ski park or

  • you can just spend two hours and then head off and go do something else, depends how

  • much you wanna cram into a day or a couple days, but definitely worth giving it a go.

Dan: Hey guys, Dan here, in Dubai. So, what do you do when it’s 43 degrees outside and
