Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Interesting. Probably the skier could use more "reference" for the horizon level (the far side has no indicator for that on it). He keeps looking over his shoulder. They may want some way to control the speed of the thing - again he's easily quicker than the rotation in some cases. Looks more of a simulator than the simple "belt" machines..

That looks really awkward tbh.

And who wants to be a mouse on a treadwheel?

Vertigo, here I come. Would be interesting to see a good skier on it.

All the turns were on or near the flat - how is that training for slalom?
And what happens to a ski if it comes off & the brakes 'grip'?

@Alastair Pink, If they were using someone who could actually ski to model it, it looks terrible,

I’m a very crap skier and even that looks like a complete waste of time to me.

Not sure he's gash, just the physics/ environment may only permit kinda jump turns. I recall some promotional video of Chemmy Alcott at that Chelski rolling carpet where she looked pretty gash.

There's 2 questions with these things

1) Is it fun in its own right? or
2) Is it close enough to the real thing to be valid training?

Snowdomes and dryslopes tick 2. Wave pools may tick both. This may tick neither.

She has to almost stop after each turn to let the slope catch up.

I can see a Skier would soon get drenched with water falling from top of cylinder....?

I took my kids to one of that Basingstoke type in Dubai last summer. Totally bizarre to be in a badly insulated warehouse during the middle of summer whilst strapping ski boots on in shorts and tee shirts. Obviously we have the ski slope at the mall too; but that is too much hard work carting kids stuff through the mall. Actually seems like quite a useful machine as they can vary the pitch as well as the speed of the carpet.
