Treadmill simulators
On a treadmill simulator, you use real skis on a large, inclined, and moving synthetic surface. A small amount of water facilitates gliding, while the speed and incline can be adjusted.
Because the surface is constantly moving, you can link several turns without taking a lift. Your coach remains nearby to advise you and modify the exercises.
Treadmill simulators are particularly useful for:

-
develop one's balance;
-
work on speed control;
