We are ski people, outdoor lovers, travelers and tough to find behind a desk!!

We live and breathe for skiing. We pray for snow. Much like yourself we love our sport.

We work hard and play hard.

Our passion has turned into an innovative business concept that aims to bring the ski community together. Our goal is to offer a valuable tool for all skiers to improve their ski conditioning and stamina. A high tech path to become stronger skiers and improve the ski technique.

Our state of the art simulators allow SKICOSMOS crew to teach off slope, generate excitement for the sport and get some great fitness-cross training exercise, at the same time. Getting on the simulator is going to prepare you physically to ski more volume improving your skiing significantly.

It is by far the closest thing to on snow skiing! 

SKICOSMOS method was born in our ski lab in North Vancouver and

has been focused on making ski simulation totally transferable on snow.
