Hey guys, Just found out off my boss that he sold the rights to set up indoor ski centres on MaxxTrack slopes in Uk and that they are going to open 32 centres. If you want to check the videos on Youtube or type MaxxTrack slopes into google search to see what i am on about. Also the guy who is setting them up has some pretty good inovative ideas

They look pretty interesting.
A good resource for learning for sure but not heaps of fun or a real substitute for the pistes.
Skied: Arinsal, La Plagne, Alpe D'huez, Flaine, Les Arcs, Morzine, Les Gets, Avoriaz, Sauze, Courchevel, Val Thorens

You be surprised, Olympic skiiers use them and also very good for training. As you have to have your technique perfect, but yeah it can be boaring if you can already ski perfect. But theres lots of things you can do on the slopes to train, for instance ive been using the slopes for 6 months, i can ski continuesly on the slope for 2 hours without stopping the slope. So very good for keeping up your stamina, they have 15 centres in Amsterdam alone and they are packed all the time. It really depends how creative your instructor is, but theres also a large mirror infront of the slope so you can correct yourself.

This does look like a good training aid. Would like to try one.

This was when she came over to us, they are calling the centers Skiplex. Also chillfactor is getting two of these slopes. But anyway, Chemmy is going to be the face of the Skiplex, and the first one is to open around November i think. Not sure where though
