9. Ben Lomond, Tasmania
The remote island of Tasmania, Australia’s oft forgotten outpost, is often said to be a bleak and chilly place, but that doesn’t mean there’s not plenty to do and see there. Being in the southern hemisphere, the skiing season typically starts around July and lasts through September. Ben Lomond National Park is home to one of the country’s favorite ski resorts, sporting splendid views and unpolluted skies.
10. Ski Dubai, UAE
The searing heat of one of the world’s most ostentatious and glitzy cities might not sound very conducive to skiing, but Dubai actually does have its own ski slopes! Of course, the ambitious facility is entirely indoors, but it boasts the largest indoor skiing slopes in the world, with no less than 22,500 square meters of snowy inclines. An entry ticket also includes all rental equipment, so no need to bring your own to the desert.
