Thanks jbskibba.I appreciate you taking the time. I myself have done the training program twice through now. The first time for the North Ridge on Mt Baker, and the second for some climbing in the Tetons. The first time around I did not use a stair mill, and I did all of my training running with skate skiing mixed in. The second go around I used the a used stair mill I bought for my garage. The issue I am having is my garage is not heated, so my stairmil will not operate correctly, and I cant put it in my house. With that being said, I am hoping to still get some insight if the Nordic treadmill or xc ski machine with suffice.

I myself felt great both trip!!!

Since you are on the topic of treadmills, I have been wondering in a couple of
Machines for us flat landers.

Nordic makes a incline trainer that goes to 40% I’m curious if it would be a good substitute, compared to a stairmil. Just trying to think of a more affordable option to have at home.

There is also a Nordic cross country ski machine, that is even a fraction of the price of the incline trainer. It doesn’t elevate as much, but I think you could make something safe to compensate.
