Snow Skiing for the Physically Disabled
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1991The sport of snow skiing by the physically disabled, which originated in Europe in 1935 and first received attention in the United States in the 1940s, is reviewed in terms of opportunities available, instructions, adaptive equipment necessary, and benefits provided.

Vestnik of geosciences, 2022
The results of vertical variability comparative studies of the chemical snow layers composition, chronologically linked to the stratigraphically significant snowfall periods, have been presented. The features of the impurity elements concentration on geochemical barriers in the snow mass have been shown.

Snow skiing injuries in physically disabled skiers
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1992This study, through retrospective review, examines the injury rate of selected disable skiing populations in general and as compared to able-bodied skiers in areas where comparison was possible. Data on disabled skiers gathered from instructional programs at multiple sites indicate that the disabled skier had a very low rate of injury occurrence. Where

A physical theory of snow gliding
Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1981Snow glide, slip of the entire snowpack over the ground, is not observed unless water reaches the ground interface. In this paper, snow gliding is approached from the point of view that a perfect slip condition is attained at the glide interface whereby a thin continuous water film is envisioned to exist between the snowpack and the ground.

Avalanche Forecasting and Snow Physics
1987Avalanche forecasting is both an operational task in alpine countries and a matter of research for snow physicists, A description is given of the main processes involved in seasonal snowcover evolution, and some critical factors for avalanche release are pointed out.

Dust and Black Carbon size distributions in snow and some links to snow physics.
2020<p><span>Snow contain many insoluble particles, some of which can absorb light (such as mineral dust and black carbon) and are responsible for a large climate forcing, both directly through their influence on snow albedo and indirectly by inducing snow metamorphism &#8211; albedo feedbacks.</span& ...

1991
This chapter is a review of current physics-based techniques for modeling snowmelt. Mixture theory is used to develop the equations of conservation of mass, momentum and energy for snow treated as a two-component, three-phase mixture of ice, water, water vapor, and air.

Traditional Sámi snow terminology and physical snow classification—Two ways of knowing
Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2013Abstract Humans describe the natural environment on the basis of their local experience and their interactions with nature in terms of its relevance to their daily lives. These descriptions are incorporated into local languages and form a specialized terminology that is unique and specifically applicable to needs and practices.

Using of snow in physics laboratory work
Pedagogy, Psychology, Society: from theory to practiceThis article discusses the organization of physics laboratory work using snow masses. Snow plays two roles in educational experiments: as an object of study and as an auxiliary tool (cooler or support surface). The content of five laboratory exercises with snow, tested at the Tynda branch of the Far Eastern State Transport University, has been ...
