  • Freestyle night: Participants must dress up as superheroes to be eligible to win prizes.

    The last thing that one would imagine doing in the UAE is skiing indoors, but this has become a reality at Ski Dubai, which will be giving members of the public 50 per cent discount for those who dress up as a superhero for the X-Men Freestyle night on Thursday (April 24).

    Marking the occasion of X-Men’s upcoming release – Days of Future Past – which features top Hollywood stars including Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry, the iconic Ski Dubai have teamed up with Fox to give visitors the experience of a lifetime at the Middle East’s first indoor ski resort.

    Skiers and snowboarders dressed as superheroes will receive 50 per cent off, meaning they will pay just Dh100 for the experience.

    And if you have no skiing or snowboarding experience, you can still enjoy the evening by overcoming challenges, obstacles, including jumping onto an air bag from 12 metres high (for a cost of Dh50 dressed as a superhero), which will be a first at Ski Dubai.

    “The Freestyle event is our biggest event of every month which takes place on Thursdays, and every once in a while we try to spice it up by having a different theme to keep our guests excited and interested in it,” says Sherif Hashem, marketing manager at Ski Dubai.

    “Having teamed up with Fox in the UK, we are having this Freestyle night to celebrate the soon-to-be-released new X-Men film next month, and want to invite people to dress up as their favourite superheroes on the night.

    “We will have a lot of X-Men jumps, obstacles and challenges including ramps for the skiers and snowboarders.”

    You could also be walking away with some fantastic prizes, including watching the premiere of the film in the UAE on May 22.

    “We will have 100 tickets up for grabs for 50 lucky couples which will be given out on the night. It’s a great prize because they would be the first to watch the film in the UAE before it’s release nationwide,” says Hashem.

    The only requirement is to dress up in a superhero outfit to qualify for your 50 per cent discount.

    “We want people to come dressed up as any superhero. All the superheroes are the same,” says Hashem.

    “We try to keep it Marvel associated, but we also welcome people who dress up as any of their other favourite superheroes. All the superheroes are the same in terms of being iconic figures and it will be great to see many people at Ski Dubai dressed up in their superhero outfits. There will be prizes for those who come with the best dressed superhero outfits.”

    Hashem promises it will be an enjoyable night out with your family and friends.

    “It’s going to be a big night. It’s going to be a party on the slopes, we will have a DJ and it will be a bigger night than other nights we have had. It’s really a unique thing that you won’t see anywhere in the UAE. Hugh Jackman has already given it the thumbs up through a video message.

    “No registration is involved, just turn up and be ready for fun!”
