The Sub-zero Challenge in Snow World @ Resorts World Genting

Living in Malaysia, our definition of cold would most probably be what our office temperature is which barely scratch the surface of what winter is. To submerge ourselves in what our European friends experience every winter without buying a plane ticket, a visit to Snow World in Resorts World Genting will do!

Just as when I thought I am better prepared in encountering the cold on my second visit to Snow World, the giant ice chamber proved me wrong. Every sense of my being were shocked. It was excitement out of the comfort zone but thrilling. Of course, my mind was already in the Swiss Alps while I posed for photographs in the charming interiors of, what we like to think, where Santa lives.

With gritted teeth and numb fingers, I threw snow, made snow angles and danced in -7 degC 

Welcome to Snow World's European Winter Wonderland

Photo opportunities at every turn

Hello Europe!

Dancing in the cold

Swiss Alps maybe?

When the cold is too much to bear, look at light to 'imagine' some warmth

Tobogan slide that adds more icy cold fun!

The Malaysian's flesh may be used to warmth but we won't relinquish if the prize is a 3D2N vacation!

Some members of the media participated in Genting's Sub-zero challenge. The rules were simple- stay in Snow World for as long as possible with only a single layer of clothing under the standard jacket, boots and gloves provided.

Just when we thought the challenge can filter the champion over time, many contenders were still seen standing after 3 hours! The challenge was then upped by having their jackets and gloves taken off! Before being frozen meat, a champion rose after 3 hours 20 minutes. Congratulations to Ariel Koh!

Eddy and some other 'stubborn' survivors were further challenged by having their jacket and gloves taken off!

Congratulations to the winners

Snow World was first opened in 2003 but closed down in 2011 to undergo a major revamp that cost

chamber per slot, making it the largest snow attraction it Malaysia. The revamped Snow World is a
