Dry ski slopes are an attempt to mimic the attributes of snow using materials that are stable at room temperature, to enable people to ski on them.

Therefore the term "artificial ski slope" is more commonly used to distinguish man-made slopes from those where snow falls naturally. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dry ski slope"
