Skiing Season?!!?!?

Went Skiing today with Brendan & Paul - both from work.

Well, it's pretty cool going skiing during a 45 degree day.

This was the 3 of us before the skis, hoping that we wouldn't have to use any bit of company's insurance policy we had

It was freezing inside. Temperatures we hovering about -4 to -5 degrees. Well, we just had a thin layer inside, and a ski jacket on the outside. Normally, we'd survive that. But the 3 of us didn't have gloves - no we were not too cheap to get them, but we just forgot all about them till we got inside the slope.

3 runs in total. Surprisingly the black run was steeper than I expected it to be. Well, it's not all that steep as compared to the runs in Melbourne. But the snow was quite hard. It was not the soft fluffy type of snow you get at the ski mountains. (duh... it's man made).

We had a 2 hour pass for 150Dhs (about 50AUD) each - which was pretty good - included ski hires, lift pass, and clothing.

By the end of skiing we had frozen hands (and I had frozen feet too). Took a picture of my white numbed toes, but don't think i should post that picture up.

But of course, in the 45 degree day, we got ourselves thawed pretty quickly. Headed off to the Ibn Battuta to do some light shopping, before heading to the Madinat for a drink.

Had some dinner at some road side type stall - Karama (Indian) Style.

It was a fantastic day.
