Your setup
SkyTechSport Olymp · about $121,000 each, installed.
Construction, fitness & recovery area, furniture, permits, opening marketing.
Monthly revenue
Per 30-minute, instructor-led private lesson. Typical market range $80–$150.
At 30-min lessons + ~10-min changeover over ~10 open hours, 2 simulators can handle ~30/day. Enter how many you'll actually book.
A membership is a recurring monthly plan (ongoing access + training) — recurring revenue on top of one-off lessons.
Retail, ski tuning, fitness classes, recovery services, events, camps.

Three ways a studio earns
More than lessons — a year-round revenue stack.
18 instructor-led lessons a day at $100, across a 26-day month.
40 members on a $300 recurring plan — income that holds through the off-season.
Ski tuning, fitness classes, recovery services, camps and private events.
≈ $63,800 in a peak month at the default settings — every figure here is driven by the calculator above.
Built for all twelve months
Peak season fills the slopes. The off-season fills with members.
October–March drives simulator demand; April–September leans on memberships, ski-fitness, and recovery — so the studio earns year-round, not just in winter.
What it takes to open
~$400K and about six months, start to grand opening.
2,500–3,000 sq ft, an 8-ft minimum ceiling, and 3-phase power. SkyTechSport handles install and staff training; financing is available through our partners for operators with 2+ years of history.
