If you're rich enough to go to Dubai to ski, why aren't you rich enough to go to Iran, which has actual mountains and ski hills. That's assuming that you're local to the Middle East. The Iranians also have different rules for men and women mingling on the ski slopes than they do in the rest of society, so the fact that the UAE is pretty liberal by local standards shouldn't cause a big rush of tourists.
Having been to Pigeon Forge, TN more times than I can possibly count, I just see this as another elaborate tourist trap albeit a very neat one. It's sort of like the World's Largest Maze or Dollywood or Archie Campbell Land - just another way to separate you from your money.
