Excuse me for being obtuse. But won't such a resort be an environmental hazard. I imagine it would use a huge amount of water and electricity. There is an indoor ski resort in Dubai. Although the emirate is short of water they aren't short of energy. Wouldn't it be better to leave such extravagance to the Arabs.

The article says "an artificial substance that imitates snow", not actual snow. Who says it is going to use water? It probably won't even be cold. Just a powdery something that looks and feels like snow. Of course, what impact it will have on the ecology is another good question ...

out with nature in with money

Here we ago again. Another one of Dani Atar's brilliant schemes for jobs and tourism in the Gilboa region. Remember the hippodrome? How did that go over. What a waste of water and money! Jobs? Ha! tourists? HA HA! This guy is a true idiot. Leave the Gilboa be. Its a natural wonder and attraction all on its own.

just what we need. for a country lacking of land, energy resources and water, indoor ski resort is the great idea. what needs to happen so people will start paying attention to the biggest issues in the world?
