The team at Ski Dubai who have been able to make 30 tons of fresh dry powder snow fall each night for the last four years when the centre is closed, have now developed the technology to make real snow fall during the daytime when the snow park is open.

After four years of design and development, the race was on to have the system up and running for the arrival of Santa and Mrs Claus.

Mike Mahoney, General Manager of Ski Dubai, says, “We are proud to announce another world first! Since Ski Dubai opened we have been able to provide many of our guests with the opportunity to touch snow for the first time. Now with the development of our Snow Flake technology, we can allow them to also see it falling which for many in this region will be a new experience”.

“The timing for this launch has been perfect for Santa’s visit and I’m sure the snowflakes will enhance the Free Photos with Santa available with every child entry ticket from now till Christmas Eve”.

The real snow flakes will fall in the snow park area for the enjoyment of families and other visitors.

The system uses nothing more than nature’s ingredients of water, air and a drop in temperature. See real snow falling at Ski Dubai from 2pm daily over the festive period.
