I am actually speechless looking at this waste of energy and resources... built with the premium they charge us at the gas stations...

If you ever visit the UAE or Saudi Arabia, the waste of energy and resources is shocking.
But there are plenty of other indoor ski slopes around the world. Not sure if they're as large as this one though.

There's one of these in Japan that's snowboarders only.
and this:

reating a facility that could maintain a 6,000-ton snow base

Mass means nothing to me (or other skiiers/boarders) in regards to base. We want depth!

What does that mean? That I am not allowed to critizise waste of resources because I am from a western country? What kind of logic is that? Neither you know me nor my life-style...

True.

With several in- and outdoor fun parks, climbing towers and walls, and the world's longest indoor ski slope, Berlin has more than enough to satiate fun-seekers' appetites.

In my opinion, indoor ski slopes anywhere are a waste of resources, but then so are a lot of things.

Why does Berlin need an indoor ski slope? Are they lacking snow in winter? Or any available hills?
I know there aren't any in Berlin but sheesh.

Strange that there aren't any by the Exxon refineries here in the US, then.
