Inter-organizational network configurations for ski areas innovations
European Journal of Innovation Management, 2016 Purpose– Unlike industrial innovations, service innovations cannot be protected by patents or designs. Thus, the implementation of innovation networks is often crucial to generate a sustainable competitive advantage. The focus in this paper is the main forms of inter-organizational networks that have led to service innovations.

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.

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.

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.

Features of the Ski Area from the Romanian Banat
Forum geografic, 2011 The Romanian Banat is endowed with an important mountain area composed of the Banatului Mountains and the north-western part of the Retezeat-Godeanu Range, i.e. Ţarcu – Muntele Mic. The purpose of our paper is to make an account of the features of the two important ski areas within this mountain area: Ţarcu - Muntele Mic and Semenic.
