SAN FRANCISCO (Jan. 13, 2020) –  Roam Robotics’ award-winning Elevate ski exoskeleton that is giving new life to tired skier legs is now available for demo at 10 premier resorts nationwide. The intuitive, easy-to-use system can be fitted and powered-up in just a few minutes and found at convenient slope side rental locations.

Elevate is a smart ski exoskeleton that enhances a skier’s natural movements without sacrificing technique or range of motion. Elevate supports up to 30% of a skier’s body weight using pneumatic actuators that turn compressed air into upward force, significantly reducing the load on muscles and minimizing painful knee joint compression. By combining on-board sensors with smart software, Elevate anticipates a skier’s turns and automatically adjusts knee and quad support to aid natural motion. Elevate supports skiers as they enter and exit a turn, while acting as a shock absorber on variable terrain.

Elevate is now available for demo at the following U.S. resorts:

• Northstar, Calif.
• Squaw Valley, Calif.
• Breckenridge, Colo.
• Keystone, Colo.
• Snowmass, Colo.
• Sun Valley, Idaho
• Big Sky, Mont.
• Park City, Utah
• Deer Valley, Utah
• Canyons, Utah

Roam Robotics is offering three rental options at each of the 10 resorts:

• 2-hour test drive for $25
• Daily rentals, starting at $109
• Elevate Open Pass, starting at $129. Elevate Open Pass gives access to any location with no restrictions or blackout dates, subject to inventory available.
