Abstract

A relocatable ski camber sensor provides active sports training for skiing and the like including levers extending from a planar surface to be sensed for camber, a force sensitive resistor affixed to one of the levers, a resilient compressible element for applying varying amounts of compressive force to the sensitive resistor, and a device for indicating a predetermined amount of sensed camber.
