The Roam Elevate Ski Exoskeleton is a revolutionary creation from San Francisco-based Roam Robotics that will enable skiers to enjoy extended periods of time on the slopes without having to worry about fatigue or pain.
The system works by being affixed onto the legs and will take about half of the stress that's commonly experienced by the skier when on the slopes off of the joints. A series of onboard sensors will continuously adjust to the movements and needs of the skier, while five power level choices will keep winter sports enthusiasts in total control of their experience.
The Roam Elevate Ski Exoskeleton will be available for rental this season at premium resorts located in Colorado, Montana Utah, Idaho and California for curious skiers to try out.
