So on Friday I took a trip to Castleford Xscape to have a go on "The Orbit" in the Snowzone there. If you don't know what The Orbit is... Well it's basically a treadmill for skiing. It's pretty awesome and so much fun! Admittedly it is slightly different to skiing itself, however that makes it more exciting because you have to adapt to stay on your feet! It's really hard work too, it doesn't stop until you fall or are so tired you have to ask the instructor to stop the machine so you can take a break, so its just like a more entertaining and skilful gym session really! Technically I think that it helped my skiing technique too because it makes you have to commit to your outside ski at the top of the turn, a crucial element in being able to being a fast ski racer.
