skiers edge exercise equipment

I was wondering if anyone has used a skier's edge machine ?

I am interested in hearing people's experiences using one of these devices (both pros and cons) and if it improved your skiing?

Thanks for any input!

WHAAAA??? ???
How could this improve your skiing?
Their heels don't come up?

Sounds like an untapped market...maybe you could come up with a tele-version...

Looks like a really good machine for "double pole plant" practice.

rusty, I hope you are not poking fun of the double pole plant, it gets such a bad name, but is actually an indispensable tool. The king of the art of pole planting, Doug Coombs, used it often on the steeps.

In a pinch the DP is handy, but as an all around technique, not sure that your going to win many powder 8 contests with it.
I doubt Doug Coombs would want to be remembered as the King of the art of Double Pole planting.
