Competitors can put their physical and mental skills to the test in the gruelling Ice Warrior Challenge at Ski Dubai on November 1.

This will be the fifth edition of the event and is expected be the toughest yet, with entrants required to climb over ice walls, ascend tangled ropes, drag and push lorry tyres and shovel snow – all while coping with the freezing conditions.

Now it's fourth edition, the organisers are continuing to come up with fiendish ideas to test the competitiors; new additions for this year include the car challenge, which will se competitors needing to dig a hole in the snow that’s big enough for them to crawl under a 1982 Chevy automobile.

The Ice Warrior Challenge is held in aid of chairty and the money raised by those competing will go to the Dubai Centre for Special Needs.

For the top male and female who not only endure Ice Warrior but emerge as its winner, there is a prize worthy of their efforts. A flight to Amsterdam and a two-night stay at the largest ski dome in the world – Snow World Landgraaf – awaits. 

Even those who aren’t victorious will receive vouchers and giveaways from Ski Dubai and will have an opportunity to win a flight to a destination in Europe, courtesy of Air France and KLM.

Possible participants can compete as individuals or in teams of five and registration is now open at www.premieronline.com.
