Winter comes to Denmark, but unlike its Scandinavian neighbors the country lacks serious places to ski. But now the Northern European nation is looking to take a page from Dubai’s playbook by building an indoor ski part.
Danish architecture firm CEBRA is working in collaboration with the travel company Danski to create an alpine style ski dome, and one that would be the largest in the world. It would offer more than 1.86 miles (3km) of indoor and outdoor slopes, plus a freestyle park, hotel, restaurant and everything else you might want at a ski slope.

The firm is designing the dome is looking to base if on a six point snowflake, which could house six indoor and two outdoor slopes, and rise about 360 feet (110 meters) above the ground. So not exactly nose bleed levels, but certainly enough to provide some runs on the slopes. The plan would also call for at least one of the runs to be open year round for skiing, while the others could house BMX and skateboarding in the summer.
Let’s see if Dubai can up its game.
