ABSTRACT:
A ski-deck adapted to be easily knocked down for storage or transport is provided by having telescoping side frames that secure rollers on bearings for a looped carpet over a ski deck and adjustable fitting on vertical support rails secured to horizontal support rails in order to adjust the height and slope of the ski deck. Horizontal safety rails are secured to vertical support rails for a waist belt and ski-grips with a safety switch that will stop the motor drive for the looped carpet. A motor speed control potentiometer is provided on top of a vertical support rail for the ski student's use in adjusting the simulated downhill skiing speed desired.
