INFINITE SKI

HIT THE SLOPES

If you want all-year-round access to winter sports but without the bulky ski wear and queuing for chairlifts, Infinite SKI is the place to be. The first ever Maxxtracks indoor ski slope in the Middle East, here you can learn to ski and snowboard quickly or hone your existing skills.

The cool air-conditioned slopes make a welcome relief from the outside heat, but don’t be fooled, there is no actual snow. Instead, there are state-of-the-art Maxxtracks or “carpets” as the instructors call them. These two rotating slopes - like a giant treadmill, effectively allow you to ski forever. In fact, in 15 minutes you can experience approximately 10km of a ski run in one go.

Though nothing quite compares to the picturesque scenery of snowy-topped mountains, the team at Infinite SKI believe that Maxxtracks are a great practical and affordable alternative. You can be from car to the slopes in five minutes, so regular practice is easier to schedule. The instructors also pride themselves on being able to teach a beginner to be a safe skier in three hours, that’s ten times faster than on real slopes.

Whether you are a complete novice or mastering your technique, a qualified instructor is on hand to adapt the slopes’ speed and incline to your skill level via remote control. This helps you to improve much faster as the carpet can slow down or stop before you lose your balance. Mirrors on the wall also allow you to check your form.

Each slope can accommodate up to three people at a time, so it makes for a great family day out, a date with friends, or even a solo activity. Infinite SKI is accessible to everyone and has no age limit, boasting students from 18 months – to 73 years old.

Dubai hosts the first Infinite SKI, but rumour has it, they are heading to the capital and opening an Abu Dhabi branch next year. Watch this space!
