What the experts say
"The US Ski Team has been using the Skier's Edge World Cup Plyometric Power year round as part of our race program. We have learned that the athletes are able to develop the anaerobic system in a very progressive way while using these sport specific components. The high intensity that the athletes are able to produce on the Skier's Edge World Cup Plyometric Power develops the anaerobic system very effectively. Overall, we see the Skier's Edge as a great tool for preparing our athletes for the intense load involved in ski racing."

"An excellent substitute to skiing. Great for my rehabilitation, mental imagery, and keeping the skiing spirit. I am a member of the Canadian National Ski Team (Espoir) and I find the Skier's Edge to be a great training aid during off season periods. Recently I fractured my pelvis and the Skier's Edge helps a lot in rehab, and I never feel as if I've missed a day of skiing."
Lindsey R. - Rossland, BC CANADIAN NATIONAL SKI TEAM
"...My business is rehabilitating and training elite athletes. The Skier's Edge Black Diamond is not only an invaluable tool in helping my athletes and clients reset their proprioceptive clocks and improve balance reactions, but is as well an excellent tool to optimize sport specific energy system training."
Carl Petersen - BPE, BSc (PT), Dir. of Sport Science & Medicine, CANADIAN NATIONAL SKI TEAM
"This year I have been really working on getting over my outside ski. The Skier's Edge is a great tool for helping you achieve this."
Allison Forsyth - CANADIAN NATIONAL SKI TEAM
"...We have found the Skier's Edge to be extremely effective in the training and conditioning of our athletes. We use it as a serious and most efficient tool in the process of setting the athlete's balance clock. It is an important piece of equipment for us."
Werner Margreiter - Head Coach, AUSTRIAN NATIONAL SKI TEAM
"...with its different levels of difficulty you can build up your body strength to handle all kinds of slopes. Skier's Edge is the closest you get to the mountain, and is the perfect workout machine for all skiers including the very top World Cup and Olympic athletes."
Jan Ove Nystuen - Head Coach, NORWEGIAN NATIONAL SKI TEAM
"...The German National Ski Team uses the Skier's Edge in all year-round preparation. We get tremendous help in building up certain abilities for our top athletes. The movements on the Skier's Edge are the same as real skiing (open leg position, independent work of both legs, canting) and therefore very important for our training and building up leg power. In addition, we work on balance and coordinative exercise. For these aims we can imagine no better training machine."
Rainer Mutschler Alpine Director - Men's Head Coach, GERMAN NATIONAL SKI TEAM
"The Swiss Team has used the Skier's Edge for 9 years now with great success! It is part of our inventory and goes with us everywhere from training camps to the World Cup circuit. Many skiers remain advanced only on groomed slopes. What is required to be an expert on the whole mountain is power and confidence. If you use the Skier's Edge every day, you will gain the power and confidence to leave the groomed trails and ski the whole mountain. The Skier's Edge is as essential to skiing as skis, boots and poles."
Theo Nadig - Head Coach, SWISS NATIONAL SKI TEAM
"...What brings us more benefit is the movement which you can get with the Skier's Edge, a lot of repetition of strength of movement. ...With the Black Diamond you double up your benefits and for balance it's a super exercise. ...We always have some units in our equipment truck as they replace an entire fitness room."
Francois Sedan - Men's Head Coach, SWISS NATIONAL SKI TEAM
"The All Mountain Master gives me the feeling of the big fast turns I like to do up in the glaciers. The Powder/Mogul Master reminds me of skiing the really deep powder in the trees. We have both models in our gym in Blue River."
Mike Wiegele - THE PIONEER OF DEEP POWDER SKIING
"...What makes the machine so much fun is that it imitates that rebounding, side-to-side feeling that I experience when I'm having a really good run."
John Crews - Featured Ski Instructor Skiing Magazine's, "Top 100 Ski Instructors in America"
