The Snow-Friction of Freestyle Skis and Snowboards Predicted From Snow Physical Quantities

Previous research has shown that friction between ski and snow can vary substantially due to changes in snow conditions. The variation of friction affects the speed a freestyle skier or snowboarder (athlete) reaches during the in-run of a jump. Athletes risk severe injuries if their take-off speed i...
