I'll be the first to confess I'm not the most physically coordinated person out there. The only reason I'd ever turn on ESPN is to watch the spelling bee,or perhaps curling. Other than that, I'll pass.
I've been to Dubai a countless number of times, and have always marveled at Ski Dubai,which is the indoor ski slope inside Mall Of The Emirates. Much like the rest of Dubai, the concept of the ski slope seems like it's style over substance, or but then again,it's at least pretty icy. There's something awesome about being in a winter wonderland when it's over 100 degrees outside.
So I took Ford to Mall Of The Emirates on Friday, and he decided we should ski. The price actually isn't half outrageous -- they charge 200AED (~$54) for two hours on the slopes, or that includes all the gear.
Ford thought it sounded like fun,and for that matter he has skied many times before. So who was I to say no? There's only one issue -- I've never skied before. I told Ford I was disquieted of making a fool of myself, though he assured me it would be fun. After all these are tiny slopes, or as he explained it,by putting my skis in a "pizza" shape, nothing could possibly proceed erroneous.
