# Snow Day

> Minus four degrees in August. Ski Dubai at group rate, with the slope session, the penguins and a reserved lunch — the strangest half-day in the catalog and the easiest summer sell.

Package G-03 from Offsyte, corporate recreation in the UAE · [Indoor & Summer-safe](https://offsyte.ae/catalog/indoor-and-summer-team-building/) · Web page: https://offsyte.ae/packages/snow-day/

## Price per person, excluding 5% VAT

| Group size | Per person | Billed for at least |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| 15–29 people | AED 560 | 20 people |
| 30–59 people | AED 490 | 33 people |
| 60+ people | AED 450 | — |

A group smaller than a band's "billed for at least" figure is still served, and is invoiced for that many people.
Where a larger band costs less in total, it is quoted instead: a group of 29 is billed as 33 people at the rate for 30–59 people; groups of 56–59 are billed as 60 people at the rate for 60+ people.

Payment: 50% advance on signature. 100% cleared 3 working days before the event. Numbers lock 7 days prior.

## Why this is not the retail version

A Snow Classic ticket is **AED 230–265** and the client will look it up, so this is a commodity-tier package and it is priced honestly as one. What the other AED 225 buys is the difference between forty people going to Ski Dubai and a company having a day out.

**The coach, so nobody parks at Mall of the Emirates on a Thursday.** The **group entry at a scheduled slot**, so there is no queue at the kit counter. The **penguin encounter booked as a group**, which cannot be done by walking up. The **toboggan relay** with actual timing, which is the part people talk about. The **reserved lunch**, so forty people do not disperse into a food court and lose an hour. And **gloves and socks that people keep**, because the venue provides neither and cold hands end the session forty minutes early.

**The real argument is the calendar.** Between May and September this catalog gets thin, and the honest options are indoor rooms and shopping-mall attractions. This is the only package that puts a UAE workforce in the snow in August, and the novelty does most of the selling. When a client calls in July with three weeks and no plan, the two answers are H-01 and this.
