After realizing I was getting old on my ski trip with the grand kids I
bought a "Skiers Edge" ski machine. I dabbled with something similar
about 50 years ago but this is a little more improved. The curved
track and trolley is the same type of thing but it uses a rubber band
type resistance (2" wide and 1/4" thick) that is adjustable in 2
stages and the foot pads tilt so you can "edge" while you are working
out. I am not sure how much actual ski training it does but I will be
working on the muscles that were barking at me on the slopes.
I have had it for a few days and I am already feeling the improvement.
I have added a counter so I can keep track of my use. I am up to 200
and I am going for 400 or 500 without stopping. That should be a whole
day of skiing.
With this and the bowflex I should be a spry old geezer. Still waiting
for Henc to bring me my other slotted wheel so I can interface that
with my PC.

Do you use poles with that thing?

No, it came with a couple but I don't know why I would want to use
them. The whole point is balance and building quadriceps
