The slide surface consists of a material developed by a British company for use on synthetic slalom slopes. It is similar to artificial turf but with a different structure. Friction is minimised by keeping the material damp.

The synthetic slide is mounted on a track base of aluminium extrusions. The main extrusion is all of 468 mm wide, a solid extrusion that forms the two parallel ski tracks

The synthetic slide is mounted on a track base of aluminium extrusions. The main extrusion is all of 468 mm wide, a solid extrusion that forms the two parallel ski tracks. Side extrusions are fitted with cavities that contain PVC pipes for wetting the tracks. Both the PVC pipes and side extrusions are perforated and are fitted with covers made from extrusions. Locking and cover extrusions are fitted to the middle of the main extrusion which together with the side extrusions lock the slide track to the track base.

The result is a flexible and durable system with an elegant appearance and carefully designed joints for ease of assembly and simple installation.DryTrack’s built-in stability also increases the number of applications as it can be used for training the partially sighted and other handicapped people to ski.
