I'm thinking Ski Dubai and then on Madinat Jumeriah, as Shinny Girl suggested. Always the possibility of the Kempinski after Ski Dubai as it's still in the Mall. Haven't thought about the date yet, but maybe the 10th or 17th of July.

For those who haven't been to the Madinat (next to the Burj Al Arab), be sure to give yourself enough time to look through the entire place. Souks for shopping, although I'm not sure what time they will be open till in the evenings.

Asma, I've lived in Buffalo, New York for a little while so we can talk about sideways blowing snow.
