Good all-round cardiovascular exercise, with short anaerobic interval training possible on high resistance settings as well. Graham Bell - who distributes it in the UK - put it together in front of me, took about 5 minutes. Then he demo'd, it really did look like the 'true' skiing action. By no means replaces everything in the gym (core strength, flexibility etc) but for skiers it does the job. Good for balance, works all the right muscles. After six months, very impressed. There was a discussion on www.MySnowSports.com he http://tinyurl.com/dhsxq Also if you do a search on the US forum Epicski http://forums.epicski.com/ there are numerous threads on the subject. Pete |

It retailed at around £1,000 then. Clubs, ski racers etc might be entitled to a discount. Pete |

Graham Bell Was demonstrating / letting the kids play on two machines at the Norfolk Grand Prix I had a go and thought they wer quite good exercise but when I asked what the prices where I lost interest! For the current versions They started at over £1000 (I think that included Racers discounts), he did have some older models but they didn't seem much cheaper, he was quoting about £950 -- Chris *:-) Downhill Good, Uphill BAD! www.suffolkvikings.org.uk |
