Préski's Benefits
Precision
All Préski skiers will tell you: the carpets don’t forgive! The simulator gives no room for error and provides instant feedback. The same flaws you have on snow will show up on the carpet.
Technic
In a controlled environment, the athlete can focus solely on what they feel. A mirror also allows for immediate self-observation and technique correction. At Préski, feedback is instant!
Expertise
We have experienced coaches with an unparalleled wealth of knowledge in Quebec. They specialize in ski biomechanics, kinesiology, annual training planning, and race tactics.
Repetition
At Préski, we do nearly 1,000 supervised turns in just 30 minutes of skiing! A high volume in a short time, leading to rapid progression.
They came to train
Carving
Edging is primarily activated through ankle and knee engagement.
Outside ski
Simulators help strengthen the fundamentals of alpine skiing. Skiers are required to be on the outside ski and must transfer their weight from one ski to the other early in the turn, or risk falling.
General skills
It is possible to do exercises very similar to those on the mountain (lifting the inside ski, skiing backward, 180/360 spins). Most turns are done without poles.
Symmetry
Since the environment remains stable, the skier can focus solely on their technique. The stronger turn is amplified on the simulator, allowing for more precise work on the weaker turn.
Gym area for physical preparation
The club has access to the gym area of approximately 1'400 square feet for dryland training. On-site equipement includes balance balls, bosu, cones, agility ladders, weights, dancing ropes, and balance boards. You can also bring your own stuff. The club is responsible for supervising athletes in training.
The results on the snow
The athlete will need a few adjustment runs to find their bearings on snow following ski sessions on the simulator. Once comfortable, he will feel strong and confident. The benefits will be greater if the athlete is focused on his task and supervised by his trainer in order to regain the sensations developed on the simulator. The effect of the simulator should be felt more in carving turns than in slipped turns.
