Ski A ski trainer

I thought they might be at the ski shows, to be honest I think I'll stick with the cycling and leg strenth training. Can't imagine me and Mr Nelly regularly getting our ski boots on and doing this in the lounge.
I did think initially it would be good for me and my knee, but there's plenty of things to do without spending £40.

That all said, wouldn't it be fun to break these things out at the end of a day after skiing and beers!

They were at the Manchester ski show today. I think they are a bit overpriced at £40, for 20 might be worth a punt. They claim that it teaches your muscles the right movements and stance. I am not convinced enough to spend that kind of ££

I would be very wary of doing exercise in ski boots after a knee injury, as they limit the range of movement in your ankle joint.
Curiously the platform on which the boot sits is flat whereas nearly all alpine ski bindings are ramped. The stand height under the heel is higher than under the toe, the difference can be as much as 9mm. It's well known that even small changes in the binding delta can affect fore/aft balance dramatically.
