This asymmetric pressure distribution would exert a large torque on the skier's ankles and the skier would adjust to a smaller angle of attack.
In contrast, a skier is very stable in the sagittal plane, where he has enough support due to the ski length.
The ski turns are performed in such a way, that skier stability is maximized.
Information for the ski group study was collected by a questionnaire mailed to all 107 skiers.
A third cohort study was performed with the 107 skiers belonging to the above-mentioned ski group.
An experienced skier will perform the ski turn closer to the race gates.
Nearly every experienced skier will tell you that skiing on dry powder is like riding on air.
Expert skiers achieve velocities in excess of ten times their body height per second due to gravitational forcing.
