What exactly should dry skiing simulate? Stop staring at "real snow"!

Can dry skiing be made exactly like real snow, fast and slippery? I have to be honest - this idea is a bit hallucinatory. Why is real snow slippery? Ice and snow are not solid, and are essentially liquid (water). The moment the snowboard is pressed up, the pressure and friction cause an extremely thin layer of water film to form on the surface of the ice crystals. The board slides on this layer of water; as soon as the pressure passes, the water immediately freezes back. Melting, slipping, freezing, the cycle repeats. This is the characteristic of water that can freely switch between the three states of solid, liquid and gas. The plastic used in dry skiing is always solid and does not have this ability - it will not produce water on its own, let alone freeze on its own. Therefore, wanting a piece of plastic to be "moistened like real snow" is a physical barrier that is difficult to overcome. But the question is, does skiing really just need to be “fast”? Not really. Real skiing is a comprehensive experience of sliding, accelerating, decelerating, turning, and emergency stopping - if you can only slide fast, but cannot stop or turn, it is not called skiing, it is called falling fast. "Snow" is a form, relative to ice and water. Skiing is a process of exercise: there are many forms of snow that are suitable for skiing, also called "snow quality", and some snow qualities are also very slow to slide! Uncomfortable! There are more than 60 kinds of snow quality, including foam snow, powder snow, press snow, ice snow...the feeling on your feet is very different. So I have figured out one thing over the years: What dry skiing wants to simulate is not the "fast" form of real snow, but the comprehensive foot feel of real snow that can slide, stop, and turn. I set the benchmark for imitation on the snow quality of "machine-compacted snow" - that is, the noodle snow and half-ice and half-snow snow trails pressed out by snow compactors in the ski resort. It feels silky smooth, stable and compact, and retains the bite of the snow. It can slide, turn and stop smoothly. It is recognized as the most suitable snow surface for sliding. The structure of Enoki dry ski mat is based on this goal: not to pursue speed blindly, but to restore the proper balance of sliding, stopping and turning. After thinking about this, the value of dry skiing becomes clearer. It doesn't have to, and shouldn't, pretend to be real snow - it's another good thing: First, it's a good place to learn and practice. It is built next to a community or school and can be practiced all year round. Novices can hone their movements here and will not feel intimidated when they go on the alpine ski trails with real snow. Freestyle jumping platforms and air cushion bags can also be used on the dry skiing field. It is a rare training ground outside the snow season. It has slowly made people develop a understanding that they can start skiing from dry skiing. The second is a more sustainable choice. Indoor ski resorts can be used for skiing in the summer, but they require building houses and cooling all year round. The cost and energy consumption are high, so they cannot be rolled out. The dry skiing field does not require a roof or refrigeration, and its cost and operation are much lower. As the snow surface materials are getting closer and closer to the comprehensive foot feel of real snow, dry skiing can fully afford a safe, easy-to-use, and long-term training venue - especially for novices, it is the ideal entry-level tool. In the final analysis, dry skiing is not the "replacement" of Zhenxue, it is another way. It is much more important to walk this path solidly than to classify it into the real snow family and be more like "snow".
