The Impact of CO2 – Induced Warming on Downhill Skiing in the Laurentians [PDF]
, 1987 À l'aide des deux scénarios de variation climatique retenus par le Centre d'étude canadien sur le climat, les auteurs tentent de cerner quel serait l'effet, sur la pratique du ski alpin dans les basses Laurentides, des changements de température et de ...

Examining ski area padding for head and neck injury mitigation
Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2021 The injury mitigation capabilities of foam, ski-area padding was examined for headfirst impacts.A custom-made pendulum impactor system was constructed using an instrumented, partial 50th-percentile-male Hybrid-III anthropomorphic testing device (ATD). For each test, the ATD was raised 1.0m, released, and swung into a 20-cm diameter wooden pole.

Snow Temperature Behind Sliding Skis as an Indicator for Frictional Meltwater
Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2021 For many years, a frictional meltwater film has been assumed to be the reason for the low friction between skis and snow, but experimental studies have been inconclusive.

Environmental effects of the Manganui ski field, Mt Taranaki/Egmont [PDF]
, 2012 During May 2012, the environmental effects of the Manganui ski field were examined. Permanent quadrats first established in 1974 to monitor vegetation changes were re-measured, vegetation mapping was conducted, modifications to ground form and drainage ...

Simulation of Downhill Skiing Areas
Collective DynamicsBased on video analysis of downhill skiing areas a model for ski traffic is developed. The video analysis uses PeTrack to determine the trajectories of individual skiers which are then statistically analysed. A stochastic cellular automaton model is proposed that can reproduce the basic observed features.
