ABSTRACT:
A skiing simulator which includes a platform formed by an annular peripheral frame defining an opening in which there is suspended a disc. The disc is suspended by tension springs extending between the edge of the disc and the peripheral frame. A pair of openings having parallel longitudinal axes are defined in the disc, and sole plates are adapted to rotate about the longitudinal axes in respective openings. A parallelogram linkage extends between the sole plates to control the parallel rotational movement therof, and a damper is connected between the disc and the linkage in order to provide resistance to the rotational movement of the sole plates. Ski boot bindings are fixed to each of the sole plates for receiving ski boots. A skier utilizing the skiing simulator can simulate forward and rearward tilting as well as translational lateral body movements of skiing.
