Benefits of technology
The present invention provides a modular synthetic ski slope system that can be adapted to create a large number of topographical features with minimal custom materials. The system has parallel riser modules and angle modules that can be quickly and easily installed and removed, and minimize waste and maximize reuse of materials. The topography of the ski slope system changes periodically, keeping the skiing experience fresh and interesting, and allowing a small facility to be changed to suit different techniques. The ski slope system provides a varying experience for the participants.
Problems solved by technology
One of the problems with synthetic ski slopes is the lack of varied terrain.
Skiers will experience the same topography on every single run, which can be boring.
This is particularly true for indoor slopes, which tend to be small and thus offer even less variety.

A modular synthetic ski slope system having an underlying topography that changes periodically to provide fresh and interesting skiing experience to user. The ski slope system includes a plurality of angle modules and a plurality of riser modules those elevate and orient tiles of the synthetic snow surface above an underlying ground. The riser and angle modules have different characteristics to elevate the tiles by different amounts and tilt the tiles at different angles relative to the ground. By stacking the riser modules and the angle modules and by placing modules with similar elevations and angles next to one another the modules combine to create a continuous topographical feature above the underlying ground.
Description
[0001]This application claims the benefit of provisional application number 62 / 523,987 filed on Jun. 23, 2017.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURETechnical Field of the Disclosure[0002]The present disclosure relates generally to ski slope systems, and more particularly to a ski slope system having a plurality of angle and riser modules designed to create different topographical features of a snow surface above an underlying ground.Description of the Related Art[0003]Synthetic ski slopes have been widely utilized in places that are not cold enough or do not receive enough natural snow for skiing and other snow sports. These ski slopes enables skiers, snowboarders, sledders, tubers and practitioners of related sports and activities to practice and partake in places where it would not otherwise be possible. Synthetic ski slopes are used as training facilities for athletes, as centers for recreational snow sports, and as places for beginning practitioners to learn.[0004]A synthetic ski slope co...
