Abstract
A ski simulation device for providing training and/or exercise includes a support frame, a track mounted on the support frame, and a pair of foot platforms supported on the track. The foot platforms are each independently slidably supported on track cars which slide along the track. The foot platforms are also independently rotatable around a generally vertical axis on the track and are each independently rotatable around a horizontal axis to enable edging, etc. The track is rotatably supported on the support frame in a pivot bushing at an inclined angle for rotation about the inclined angle. This enables the track to rotate when one's weight is at one side thereof. In addition, the support frame is flexibly mounted on a floor frame via flexible mounts which enable tilting, flexibility, etc., so as to greater simulate actual skiing.
