Indoor Skiing - How to Best Use the Time

[marzNC]

The buzz is growing. A local TV station did a story about Inside Ski. The video is of a 50+ skier who'd had a little training before filming for the story. Also includes a 17yo boarder at the same time.

They have a separate website just for Inside Ski. It looks a lot like the website for the FL facility that uses the same technology.

There's one not horribly far from the San Diego area called Adventure Ski and Snowboard School.

Fascinating that Adventure Ski has been around for so long. Wonder who invented their "revolving carpet"? I'm pretty sure the system being used at Inside Ski is from a European company.

Pretty sure the system that Inside Ski at Pro-Fit is using is Maxxtracks. Same system being used in Colorado. The company is based in The Netherlands. It comes in two sizes. Big Maxx for 5-8 people and Midi Maxx for 4-6 people. Sounds like Inside Ski got all the bells and whistles, including the one-way mirror.

This local news article includes a video that shows the start of a lesson. Get a good view of the mirror. Plus a little clip at the end of the female instructor doing parallel turns with poles. The woman reporter had skied a long time ago.

At WinterClub in Winter Park, FL, here is what they do for a 60-min lesson. Seems to apply to any lesson, whether private or group. I remember WinterClub started up a few years ago. They have two Big Maxx. Very similar pricing structure as Pro-Fit. But a bigger facility. Also includes an interactive ski/board activity and what looks like Skier's Edge for a ski-oriented work out.

• 60 Minutes Session: Over the course of a 60 minute session, each participant will typically spend 30 minutes on the ski slope with the Trainer. Due the intensity, we use the proven “10 & 10 x 3” method – 10 minutes spent on the indoor ski slope followed by 10 minutes rest and recovery x 3 .

Anyone scheduled a lesson time yet? @W8N2SKI ?

@Obrules15 : are you going to use your lessons now that you moved?
