The Snow Biste and Biste Method

Snowboard Training
Snow Biste can be brought to your location

The Snow Biste platform combined with the Biste Method is the quickest way to get skiers and snowboarders on the mountain and moving like a master.

Its track is soft and simulates the give of snow while providing four times the amount of friction. The result is faster muscle development and accelerated learning.

This patented Snow Biste deck combined with a friendly environment enables you to learn and develop the skills you need to reach your mountain goals.

Safety is a key consideration, because without fear you learn faster.

Our Method takes the fear out of learning.

Our Reno indoor skiing facility is perfect for the busy snow sport athlete because skiing and boarding are no longer limited to ski resort hours.

Lessons can take place after work, in the evening, or on weekdays at lunch when most mountain enthusiasts are busy with work and life.

The foundational skills learned with the Snow Biste method translate completely to the mountain, giving you confidence from your first day out, making that day a positive and rewarding experience.

Sheila’s first runs EVER on snow!

And confidence enables you to learn faster, and ultimately be the star in any additional “on mountain” lessons you may take.

The Snow Biste ski deck isn’t just for never-evers; it’s a process combined with technology that refines the skills of the most experienced athletes like no other process available today.

As a high level competitor in ski racing, Kris has developed techniques for pinpointing and refining the abilities of advanced ski racers.  These techniques are faster and more direct than teaching on the mountain where distance and terrain make it difficult to see exactly what’s going on.

The Snow Biste training environment enables an instructor to quickly pinpoint imbalances in stance, technique and problems with equipment that will ultimately enable the client to reach the next level.

Skiing and boarding requires muscles that are not used in other sports, some of which have the longest potential for firing of any other sport.  The Biste method guides and builds the right muscles to ski and board properly without the delays of developing the wrong muscles and improper techniques. If you want to learn more about muscles used and some fundamentals of skiing click quadriceps, gluteal and proprioception here.

The Snow Biste Deck

We’re not trying to reproduce beautiful nature and the outside world.  The goal of the Snow Biste Deck is to create an environment that teaches skiers and snowboarders how to successfully ride the mountains faster than ever before.

As a competitive athlete, that means moving up to the next level faster.  As someone new to the sport it means you and your family will be able to board safely to the bottom without being scared and cold from falling all the time.

kris and tom mammoth snowbiste.comThe Snow Biste deck is a sturdy construction that allows jumps, hops, spins, turns and winter sports tricks.

For racers we can even do start gate practice drills on it.  The deck can handle both private one on one and group lessons with as many as 8 participants.

Group lessons include the fitness training circuit that not only gets you snow sport ready but can keep the group entertained throughout the learning experience.

Indoor Snowboard Training Deck
The first Snow Biste Deck in action

Snow Biste is very quiet.  It requires no snow, water, ice, or gel to function, so there is no mess from the machine left on your clothes. The deck is also portable and can be brought directly to your location for corporate and private functions.

Contact us directly to schedule your event.

We maintain a safe learning environment, year round access, and a fitness conditioning program at Sierra Strength & Speed.

If you are rehabbing from injury our method will put you back on the mountain faster with better muscle memory and higher endurance than pre-injury.

Our program is supported by Naomi L. Albertson, MD of The Reno Orthopaedic Clinic as the next step after you get repaired.

We’re here to help you get back on the slopes, win the race or just enjoy your mountain adventures.

Conquer the mountains before ever stepping foot on them!

Kris Buttenberg, at Biste Technologies, has invented a truly one-of-a-kind experience in South Reno. It’s as close to skiing as you can get in the heat of a Nevada summer and we are working with him to provide access to SBA athletes over the summer. The machine demands ankle flexion and the activa… Read more

I have been skiing for four years, but have not been very confident. I signed up for lessons with Kris to address skill, control, and safe form. I have only had one lesson so far and I can’t believe the improvement! I already feel like I have a great deal more control on the slopes. Plus, I’m no… Read more

Kris, I truly appreciated having the fastest skier on the hill take time out to assist me with learning how to prepare for the race. I’m very optimistic that we’ll continue to clear up the items we’ve been working on and I’ll be quite a bit faster racing. Best Regards,
Kirk

So so Happy! I’m getting it! Spent time going down Kit Carson yesterday and I could actually feel the skills, and could go back and forth many many times over(not just three!) I was swooshing and it felt natural, secondary! My hubby even said I finally looked relaxed while skiing correctly! Brian is… Read more

The classes helped immensely!! Kellen and the twins were as good as other kids who had been skiing many more days before them this year, so it was fantastic that they could just dive right in and be at the same level. Exactly what I wanted.

We tried out this endless ski slope a few weeks ago and it was fantastic. It was the next best thing to being on snow and in one session I felt like I worked out this weird right leg under edging thing I could not put my finger on all winter. ‘Their’ alpine race watches and instructs, it’s very int… Read more

Working with Kris on the ski desk was by far the best ski learning experience I’ve had. He obviously really knows his stuff and is able to communicate it well. Skiing on the deck gave me much more intense practice and with him right there watching, he could see exactly what I was doing when and coul… Read more
