If you’re in the mood for a spot of skiing but can’t actually ski, you can always do what we did.
Fit your Brabus G-Wagen with some Continental snow tires and drive up the ski slope.
That’s what our very own Nathan Bain and Alex Hirschi did.
Check it out here!

The location we picked for the world’s most epic ski lift was Ski Dubai, an indoor ski resort with over 22,500 square meters of snow-covered slopes.
Inside the Mall of the Emirates, one of the largest malls in the world, Ski Dubai was the perfect spot.
Why? Two reasons.
First, it’s cold in there, with temperatures ranging between -1°C (30°F) and 2°C.
And second, it uses real snow.
Our test starts with 5-star service for Alex courtesy of Nathan and the Brabus.
We’re just going to gloss over the fact that he’s wearing a tuxedo and ski boots, which is a fashion crime.
Anyway, Nathan offers Alex a sledge / sofa to sit down and relax on.
As Alex is enjoying a cup of tea, Nathan proceeds to hook the sledge up to the car.
Running on Continental tires and powered by the 800-horsepower Brabus G-Wagen, Alex’s sledge makes it to the top.
Well, nearly.
The sledge barely held together and she had to get off and jump behind the wheel of the car to get to the top of the slope.
Once they make it to the top, she gets out and, unfortunately for her, she actually needs to start skiing.
So you’ve heard it here first: if you want to go on a ski holiday all you need is the following.
An 800-horsepower G-Wagen, some Continental winter tires and your personal, badly-dressed, Nathan-butler.
