In addition to the equipment, travel and retail
exhibitors, the Toronto Ski + Snowboard Show has a number of interactive
elements that the entire family can enjoy, including:
The Ski Simulator: This simulator allows you
to sample what skiing is like before hitting the slopes. For the ‘rippers’, you
can tune yourself up for the season ahead. The ski simulator offers an endless
ski slope on a revolving surface for experiencing skiing indoors. This unique
indoor facility provides a controlled and safe environment for first timers and
seasoned pros alike. Ski equipment (skis, boots and poles) will be available on
site for those interested in trying it out.
Roller Ski Demos: Cross
country skiing is an exhilarating winter activity but the experience is
possible in any season on cross country roller skis! This great activity
prepares people for the cross country ski season ahead while developing balance
and endurance. Demo roller skis will be available on site for those who want to
give it a try.
Axis Freestyle: New to the Toronto Ski + Snowboard
Show is the Axis Freestyle Demo Area.
What stands out the most is the demonstrations using Snowboard Addiction
Training Snowboards/Skis, balance bars and balance boards. These are pieces of
training equipment that are used in their facility which make practice and
repetition so much easier to attain. Which in turn reduces the chances of
injuries and increasing the success rate when trying the skills on the slopes.
VR 360 Cylinder: New this year at the Toronto Ski + Snowboard
Show and building on the popularity of last year's VR experience, we will be bringing
in an all new VR 360 projection cylinder, putting you at the centre of the
action! Featuring content from the Olympic channel, you will enter the
world of Olympic athletes and experience their stories from their point of
view, placing you on their field of play.
Snow Valley Tube Rides: A mobile
tubing experience where families can try out the remote tube station that
replicates tubing down a mountain.
Canada's Largest Ski & Board Swap 2018: The
Canadian Ski Patrol will once again hold their largest ski and snowboard swap
at the 2018 show. Over 2,000 brand new non-current & pre-owned skis,
boards, boots & accessories will be available for purchase.
