Opened in November 2005, the indoor resort features an 250 foot-high indoor mountain with 5 slopes of varying steepness and difficulty, including a 1,200 foot-long run, the world's first indoor black run, and various features (boxes, rails, kickers) that are changed on a regular basis. A quad lift and a tow lift carry skiers and snowboarders up the mountain. Adjoining the slopes is a 32,000-square-foot Snow Park play area comprising sled and toboggan runs, an icy body slide, climbing towers, giant snowballs and an ice cave. Ski Dubai also houses a number of penguins who are let out of their enclosures several times a day. Penguin encounters can be booked, allowing the public to interact directly with the penguins. Winter clothing, ski and snowboard equipment are included in the price of admission.
An extremely efficient insulation system helps the facility maintain a temperature of 30° Fahrenheit during the day and 21° Fahrenheit at night when the snow is produced.
