Like ski areas without liquor?
"Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish—a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow—to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . . Res ipsa loquitur (it speaks for it self). Let the good times roll." HT

There are several dozen indoor ski areas (sometimes called "snow domes") in the world. Not surprisingly the biggest indoor ski area with the best variety of lifts and slopes is in.... Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
Have a look at Ski Dubai. http://www.skidxb.com/
It has 3 lifts including a quad chair and five runs with the longest being 400 metres (about 1350 feet?), all this situated in scorching hot Arabia
Try Google images for ski dubai, or the best photo gallery of it that I've found is http://dubaiworld.wo...p-to-ski-dubai/

Wearing my ski historian hat, the first proper indoor ski slope in the world using artificial snow was Mt Thebarton.
It was built in a huge warehouse in the Adelaide suburb of Thebarton in Australia and operated between 1987 and 2005.
There isn't a decent article on indoor ski araes on either wikipedia or wikiski, but it would be great if someone could compile one. (hint, hint)
