A method of deriving operation-specific ski run classes for avalanche risk management decisions in mechanized skiing [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 An in-depth understanding of the nature of the available terrain and its exposure to avalanche hazard is crucial for making informed risk management decisions when travelling in the backcountry.

Revegetation of ski runs in Serbia: Case studies of Mts. Stara Planina and Divčibare [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2011 Revegetation is the most sustainable method of soil stabilization at ski runs. In order to establish a stable plant community, it is recommended to use native species. However, non-native species are most often used.

Exercise economy in skiing and running [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 Substantial inter-individual variations in exercise economy exist even in highly trained endurance athletes. The variation is believed to be determined partly by intrinsic factors. Therefore, in the present study, we compared exercise economy in V2-skating, double poling, and uphill running.

On the Influence of Microtopography on the Sliding Performance of Cross Country Skis
Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2021 The sliding performance of cross country skis is mainly influenced by the ability of the ski base to minimize capillary forces and contact area. Whereas, the first condition depends on hydrophobicity, the second one is controlled by the ski grinding ...

Dynamics of the In-Run in Ski Jumping: A Simulation Study [PDF]
Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 2005 A ski jumper tries to maintain an aerodynamic position in the in-run during changing environmental forces. The purpose of this study was to analyze the mechanical demands on a ski jumper taking the in-run in a static position. We simulated the in-run in ski jumping with a 4-segment forward dynamic model (foot, leg, thigh, and upper body).
