This happy photo is from my first ever skiing lesson. Let me tell you, I never expected to be getting my first taste of winter sports in a Middle-Eastern desert.
Ski Dubai is a massive indoor slope with 6,000 tonnes of snow made right in a shopping mall, the Mall of the Emirates.
It was crazy to go from the stifling heat of an un-airconditioned tour bus to putting on fleece hats, gloves and thermal jackets and learning how to snowplow.
As it turned out, skiiing for me was no problem. It's the stopping that's the difficult part. But I got a pretty good hang of it in the end and had so much fun. I will certainly being trying it again in the future.
