EDGESense

Edgesense was developed as part of a multidisciplinary project to bring an indoor ski resort to Texas, making winter sports more accessible year-round. The resort features skiing simulators designed to help newcomers build confidence while providing experienced skiers and snowboarders a space to train and refine their skills when they’re away from the mountains.

Edgesense revolutionizes winter sports training by combining sensor technology, AI-driven feedback, and smart wearables to create a data-driven learning experience. Whether you're a first-timer or a pro looking to refine your technique, Edgesense helps you learn faster, ride safer, and perform better—both in Texas simulators and on real mountain slopes.

Bench Marking

Pro’s of Binding Vs Boot Sensors

Direct Force & Load Measurement

The bindings experience significant forces during turns, jumps, and landings, which could provide insights into pressure distribution, weight shifts, and ski responsiveness.

More Secure & Stable Placement

Unlike boot-mounted sensors, binding sensors wouldn’t be affected by boot flex or foot movement inside the boot.

Better Shock Absorption Data

Could analyze how impact forces from landings are transmitted through the skis, which is valuable for freestyle skiers and racers.

Con’s of Binding Vs Boot Sensors

Limited Foot Pressure Data

Most current market uses underfoot sensors, a binding-mounted sensor wouldn’t capture detailed foot pressure mapping, potentially reducing the accuracy of stance and edge control feedback.

 Movement Interference

Bindings move slightly during skiing (especially with shock absorption features), which could introduce sensor noise or inaccuracies.

 Power & Durability Issues

The binding area is exposed to high-impact forces, snow buildup, and vibrations, requiring robust waterproofing and power management. This could be delt with frequent tune ups which most skis receive.
