Multi-scale insights of cross-country ski-snow tribology: a comprehensive study of ski, snow, and skier interactions

Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)

Ski geometry and base texture strongly influence the interaction between cross-country skis, snow, and skier, impacting both design and performance. This study explores the tribology across scales and the research unifies micro and macro insights for a holistic understanding.
