Ski Dubai





Daddy swallows his green credentials (temporarily) in the name of child entertainment and we gear up for an afternoon on 6,000 tonnes of articial snow kept at a constant at -3C







It 'snowed' last night by the look of it...


There's an Ice Dragon behind us!







Just minutes ago, these people were wearing shorts and t-shirts





In the queue now, but it's shorter than those in Wengen







The Toboggan Run is the first thing we try




Mummy test drives the run and survives unscathed

Then it's us, and Lotte wins the race, by virtue of gravity Rosanna suspects


This confused Daddy somewhat - tennis, in a snow dome, whilst it's sunny outside....eh?!?!







Some of the ice sculptures are cool - peekaboo!










Rosanna, the ice barfly








Ice in your G & T sir?



Rosanna enjoys being taken for a ride

Lotte about to be kicked down the slope by Ahmed the friendly lift boy





Wheee - Rosanna flies past our ageing camera




Sister act


Time to go (especially as Daddy is wearing shorts under his ski-suit) - a warm goodbye from the polar bear

Another one of those rare family photos - doesn't Daddy look chilly?
