again, the synthetic snow resort in dubai is not the same as the synthetic snow ski slope that they're building in dallas, the one in dallas is just a few layers of some kind of material that skis like snow

that statement sounds misleading. yeah a lot of them use man-made snow, but its not entirely made up of just that. it has snow to begin with, they just use the new stuff to thicken it up a bit.
