A young member of "Ski Club de Carcassonne", from southern France, trains at Xanadu Snozone, the only indoor ski slope in Spain, located in Arroyomolinos, south of Madrid on August 19, 2024. Outside this Madrid mall, it's scorching but at Snozone, Spain's only indoor snow slope, customers are happy to ignore the summer heat and environmental issues. Opened in 2003, Snozone has a 250-metre long ski slope covered in artificial snow and opens 365 days a year. (Photo by Pierre-Philippe MARCOU / AFP)
