Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0130464A1] A ski slope simulator has a ski deck (12) with a surface defined by a continuous belt of material formed in a closed loop around rollers at the front and back of the ski deck. The belt is driven so that the surface of the ski deck rides up the slope. The angle of inclination of the deck and the drive speed are controllable. A handrail (24) is provided towards the front of the deck, and the angles of inclination of the handrail (24) with respect to the base (18) (i.e. the floor) and with respect to the surface (12) vary as the angle of inclination of the deck is varied. This arrangement of the handrail can be configured such that the natural position of the skier on the ski deck when holding the handrail remains substantially fixed as the angle of inclination of the ski deck is varied. In this way, the area of the ski deck can be minimised because the user remains substantially static with respect to the ski deck.
