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).

The (in)visibility of groomed ski runs [PDF]
i-Perception, 2019 I analyse the visibility of “groomed” ski runs under different lighting conditions. A model of human contrast sensitivity predicts that the spatial period of groomed snow may render it invisible in the shade or on overcast days. I confirm this prediction with visual demonstrations and make a suggestion to improve visibility.
