Hit the slopes with Ski Dubai

Welcoming the onset of the cooler months to come, Ski Dubai, the UAE’s one and only indoor snow arena held another of its slope events on Saturday 18th September. Consisting of competitions in slalom, freestyle and a combination of the two, Ski Dubai welcomed snow sports enthusiasts both juniors and adults to race for points and hit the slopes with staggering skill and speed as spectators were welcomed to enjoy the festival atmosphere, courtesy of the musical skills of DJ Bliss.

Verbier has a full March and April calendar of international races each spring, and 2010 is no exception with major freeride and other competitions already staged, and several more big events coming up in the next few weeks. This means you can still enjoy April skiing and boarding on Verbier’s high altitude slopes, formerly opened for summer skiing, and catch some major international events.

The British Ski and Board Show kicks off this today and runs until Sunday 1st November.

Amazing features include the return of the gravity defying Big Air Freestyle display team, sponsored by Italy’s Aosta Valley, featuring Olympic and World Champions on Europe’s largest indoor ski ramp.

On the Skills Slope, Ackers Adventure’s instructors will be giving free skiing and snowboarding lessons as well as organising toboggan runs while International instructors will demonstrate all aspects of skiing from the basics to making those tight turns on the new style indoor ski slope.

Ski Dazzle(R) is host to the Nation’s Largest Ski and Snowboard Expo with one-stop shopping for ski and snowboard gear, resort and travel information, show specials and interactive events for consumers of all ages, since 1979.
