Hello, Vail Daily ... from Dubai, UAE! You probably get this all the time, but "skiing Dubai" exceeded expectations and got me fired up for Opening Day in Vail. I live in the Vail Valley and took a break from client work to go to Ski Dubai â essentially a huge refrigerated warehouse with enough man-made snow to cover three short runs (85 degrees outside, 25 degrees inside). Everything in Dubai is a superlative â biggest mall (2,600 stores), highest building (Burj Kalifa), highest hotel (JW Marriott), you get the picture. When in Dubai ... Regards, John Messervey.
