We all know that it is difficult to keep our weight forward. Changes in terrain, fatigue, or lack of focus can quickly take us from full control to out of control. These mistakes can cause us to fall and risk injury. The Slope Simulator is for the skier who desires a way to train in an aggressive forward position and develop total balance control that can be transferred to the mountain.
The new Slope Simulator is an accessory attachment for the RPM platform which provides variable/adjustable slope pitch producing the most realistic ski simulation available. The Slope Simulator is an invaluable training tool for honing dynamic balance. Not only does the Slope Simulator enable you to practice correct forward lean, but it teaches you the needed recovery techniques for those occasional slips into the back seat.
The Slope Simulator is the result of a joint development between the Skier’s Edge Company, World Champion Michael von Grünigen, the Technical University of Munich, and the Swiss, German and Austrian National Ski Teams.
The Slope Simulator can only be added to the RPM platform and offers the ability to simulate changes in forward/backward lean. It features: 1 level locked (neutral) position, 3 forward and 3 backward lean positions ranging from 3° to 13°; for a total of 16 possible configurations.
The Slope Simulator develops dynamic balance skills so you can ski every run with more confidence and control.
