Re: Skier's Edge. I'd like to get something that mimics A&E in the bumps. They have one called the Powder/Mogul Master which is "tailored specifically for those who ski, or want to learn to ski, long deep powder runs and steep bump runs with confidence and control." Not sure how something can replicate the motion of "long deep powder runs" and "steep bump runs" all in the same machine. Maybe replicating the motion is not the goal? Anyone have this version? Comments?
The powder/mogul master is one platform. It has a really narrow stance. I went with the RPM platform which adjusts to 8 different stance positions. The RPM is a quick change platform that removes the need to have different platforms for steeps, bumps, etc. I'm really interested to see how well this training translates to the real slopes.
