Elevate is a lightweight, robotic exoskeleton designed to enhance and prolong a skier’s experience by offloading weight from quads and knees and ultimately minimizing discomfort. Elevate’s innovative technology combines on-board sensors with smart software to anticipate a skier’s turns while simultaneously adjusting knee and quad support. The device will be available this winter for rentals at premier ski resorts in Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, and California. Set-up takes just a few minutes and works with all ski boots.
