Après Skier
Ski Diva Extraordinaire
I am curious about snowless and indoor ski centers. This seems to be a growing trend in places where the ski culture overshadows the topography. Indoor ski centers seem particularly popular in the Netherlands and Germany but also the far edges of the flat earth such as Brazil, Egypt, China, Moscow, the UAE, and New Jersey.
Another technology which seems interesting is the ski simulator using mechanisms such as rails or carpeted treadmills to mimic the skiing experience. These seem to be popular not only on flatland but also in places which are mountain adjacent such as Denver and San Francisco.
If anyone has experience with indoor ski centers, snowless ski centers, or ski simulators I would very much like to hear about it. Last year I was tempted to try a ski simulator as a pre-season warm-up but instead did it the old fashioned way... skied poorly for 2-days until I found my ski legs.
In case you missed the video, the world’s greatest ski simulator was constructed earlier this year in the UK...
