“With this simulator, skiers can improve upper and lower body separation, hip angulation, rolling your knee and ankle... You get the sensation that you’re actually skiing... And it’s fun !Athletes can progressively step in a little bit at a time every couple of days and do the return to ski progression before they get on snow. Because we’re putting the athletes in forces that are very similar to snow, we can let the body adapt step-by-step.”
“It’s actually perfect for beginners and kids because they can learn and feel real parallel and carving skills and easily get out of habit of snow-plowing [aka “pizza turns”]”
“Now, we think of it like it’s not just a simulator, it’s essentially a slope that you can control. And, you can put a small child on it or you can put an Olympic athlete on it.”
