Revolving Ski Deck

Postby willwingpang » Fri Sep 09, 2016 12:56 pm

Hi guys

Is there anyone is able to give advice on skiing on an revolving artificial ski deck.

I'm trying to use PMTS on the ski deck but it is very forgiving and I've only learnt to ski on real snow.

Cheers.

Portes Du Ski in Ridderkerk, the Netherlands, teaches PMTS on a ski deck. The owner, Jasper, is a blue level accredited PMTS instructor.

There's some info in this thread http://www.pmts.org/pmtsforum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2442

This video contains scenes of Jasper, Guus, and Jay skiing on the Portes Du Ski deck. Jay was a blue instructor in 2009 when this was filmed. (later became black level cert.) http://skiersynergy.com/index.php/video ... ory_id=117 (It's the same video mentioned in the thread but with a new URL since the old one is no longer valid.)

Jasper's websites are http://www.portesduski.nl and http://pmts.nl

Hi ToddW

Thanks for the link, I knew I had read the post from somewhere in the forum before but my brain didn't click to search for that particular article.

Now that I am armed with new and critical information, I am ready to tackle the ski deck with my guts and spirit!

If you are doing this without a PMTS coach I'd suggest taking video to confirm that you aren't stemming.

Hi Max

Ooooh I didnt think about that! Ok, once I can get pass the snowplough and start doing parallel turns, I'll find some to record me and then post it on the forum!
