While downhill snow skiing, recreational alpine skiers enjoy making turning motions with
their skis. These motions are mainly induced by skidding, while turning by alpine ski racers …

Centripetal forces acting on a ski–skier system allow turning motions while alpine skiing, ie
when the skier places the skis' longitudinal axes at an angle inclined away from the velocity …

Modelling the turning motion of snow skis is simulated via a single-ski representation
followed by numerically solving the associated differential equations of motion. The forces …

Abstract Carved turns with Alpine Skis were investigated using a computer simulation
model. Varied input data to the model were the bending stiffness of the skis, the edging …

A program for numerical simulation of a whole ski race, from start to finish, is developed in
MATLAB. The track is modelled by a set of cubical splines in two dimensions and can be …

Resistance forces from the surface of snow acting on an alpine ski–skier system make the
turning motion of the system possible. When the system has high velocity, the snow …

Side-slipping (or skidding) is a feature of several manoeuvres in alpine skiing, including a
few types of skiing turns. On hard snow, side-slipping involves removal of a thin top layer of …

A model was developed to calculate the turning characteristics of alpine skis. The skis
considered are constructed of layers of materials which may include wood, foam, metal …

This invention relates generally to a training and recreation device for enabling the
simulation of ski turns on a" dry-land'slope devoid of snow or ice. The art of skiing on snow …

Cross-country skiing, and especially its skating techniques, have received some attention in
biomechanical research during the past few years. In some studies (1)(2)(3) the effects of …
