My experience with snow skiing is limited to just putting on the Skis, going on snow for a min. I just didn’t want to try anything because I have seen enough people with good experience get injured badly. With that said, the simulator experience was good one for me. It helps you mimic the snow conditions and you feel that you are sliding sideways or few inches back and forth, till the time you haven’t found your proper form. It lacks the aspect that makes you experience free movement for both legs as the skis, so you are essentially doing the “fries” movement and can’t do the “pizza”, but having put on skis once on snow, I don’t think I was looking for that kind of basics.
My expectations were set to experience skiing downhill where I can lean to turn, because trust me when I say this, that’s what makes stopping much easier than your “pizza” when you are going downhill at a steep hill, and that’s just my technical view of the sport. Connor, the instructor, was super helpful and tells your where you slacking straight up and that helps a lot. By the end of my session I felt like I could go on a moderate hill, assuming it ends with a flat terrain. But I think could steer through people and all on the hill. Obviously my opinion holds no value without actual ski experience, but I am referring to the confidence that it builds up.
Looking forward to adding more real world conditions in future sessions, like ice, bumps, speed, etc. to imitate the real experience as much as I can. I don’t expect myself to dominate the hill when I go snow skiing, but I am hoping to be in a position to get injured because of having no experience.
One session registered 475 calories burned on the watch, so it’s pretty intense. Of the 45 mins, 30-35 mins was active practice and other 10 was some basic instructions and understanding the posture.
They do price match as well, so if you find a deal on Groupon, you don’t have to go through the hassle of buying it there. They honor that price. The prices listed on website and Groupon are the final prices and no additional hidden fees and taxes, so that was another thing I liked.
For my first experience, it was a solid 10/10. Will only get better as...
Read moreSkyTechSports simulator keeps all the positives of snowboarding while getting rid of the negatives of snowboarding. I specialize in teaching people how to snowboard and more importantly a part of rehabbing people from injuries to snowboard.
I did a few sessions at SkyTechSports and I can accurately say the ski and snowboard simulator is as close to being the real deal as possible and blows any other type of simulator out of the market for realism. The positives of coming here is that you get an amazing coach on the simulator which will teach you how to use it, you will decrease risk of injury compared to the mountain (to me thats very important), and you will have endless fun as if you are actually riding on the mountain. You get rid of the negatives in snowboarding which are long wait times for the ski lifts, uncontrolled weather, and falling/crashing which is how most people get injured while snowboarding.
If you are feeling rusty with your snowboarding/skiing because of summer or any long time off , it will be worthwhile to check out SkyTechSports to ride the simulator to shake off that rust. I would use the simulator as a prophylactic means of taking care of yourself. I highly recommend trying it...
Read moreHad a lesson booked this past weekend. It was 40 minutes away, but we were was excited after seeing the good reviews. We’re pretty busy people, so this was one of the only times that worked for us to take time out of our day to come here.
We show up and nobody is there, we knock, nothing. We didn’t get a message, no call, no email, no anything. No sign posted that they’re closed.
We call customer service a couple of times, no answer. Finally on the 3rd call, someone answers and apologizes because the trainer that was scheduled supposedly had a family emergency. If there was an emergency and you had to close the shop, I’m sure you would’ve had to let a manager or owner know and they could’ve reached out.
Nope. No proactiveness. Then we get offered a free lesson when we come in next to make up for it, but because we have jobs that go until 5:30, we wouldn’t be able to get there until 6 (when they officially close) and they say they cant accommodate to make up for it. Just more excuses
Super disappointing that a small business not only made a huge mistake, but isn’t even going above and beyond to...
