Does anyone have an opinion on what is the best ski machine for simulating skiing? Pro-fitter, Skiers Edge or something else.

I've got a Skier's Edge and would rate it very highly - it's the first exercise machine that I haven't got bored of very quickly.

The Edge works all the right muscles and gives you a serious workout.

I've not tried the Pro-fitter but, purely from the pictures, the range of "ski-like" movement looks limited compared to the Edge. With the Edge you can get down into a very natural skiing position and really push the legs right out for a full extension to each side.

On the other hand, the Pro-fitter looks to support a more varied set of exercises but I'm not sure how many of them are really that effective... 8)
