How about we cram 1.1 million people into a giant structure in the middle of the desert?

If it was anyone but the same people who built a ski hill in the middle of the desert I'd call bullshit. As it is though... I wonder if they're looking for venture capital.

Scorching hot Tokyo had an indoor ski facility for years, until it closed in 2004.

Okay, sweaty Tokyo. Except in winter when it rarely snows and they forget how to drive.
