Aiming at solving the problem of poor performance of airborne freestyle skiing balance, this paper presents the research of airborne freestyle skiing balance control based on ant colony algorithm. On the basis of defining the trajectory division of the airborne balance of freestyle skiing and the track of the center of gravity of the human body, a sensor is used to collect the data of the airborne balance of freestyle skiing, and the moving average, denoising, and normalizing processes are done. *e training label of the ant colony algorithm is made by the analog signal matrix, the implementation foreground of the key posture frame of freestyle skiing is extracted, the disturbed area in the key posture frame is removed by the clustering algorithm, and the key posture area of freestyle skiing is obtained. *e incremental clustering of the data of the key posture area of freestyle skiing is conducted, the incremental posture data mining model of freestyle skiing is established, the mining parameters are input into the mining model, and the incremental data mining is realized by the ant colony algorithm to complete the research on the control of the airborne balance of freestyle skiing. *e results show that the proposed method has good reliability, good convergence, and strong response ability. 1.

  • 2021-22 NYSEF Freeride Program Info
    2021 - 2022 NYSEF Freeride Program We use the term Freeride to define the many disciplines within the sports of skiing and snowboarding not related to traditional nordic or alpine ski racing. Below are descriptions of each of the disciplines and some of the terminology used to describe each. Freestyle skiing – The foundation for what we call Freestyle skiing are the traditional sports of Moguls(M) and Aerials(A). The word “freestyle '' can also be used as a general term to describe snowboarding & skiing disciplines such as Halfpipe, Slopestyle, & Railjam which involves tricks, jumps, and terrain park features, such as rails, boxes, jibs, or other obstacles. Slopestyle (SS) – a judged skiing/snowboarding event held on a terrain-park course consisting of a variety of jumps, boxes, and rails. Skiercross (SX) – Also called Ski Cross. Downhill race with as many as six athletes in a heat on a course consisting of a variety of jumps, banked turns, and rollers. Athletes are normally seeded by way of an individual time trial prior to heat racing. The top athletes in each heat advance to the next round while the others are eliminated. Boardercross (BX) – Also called Snowboard Cross (SBX). Same as above with snowboarders. Railjam(RJ)(R) – Railjams are ski and/or snowboard events held solely on rails or box features in a jam-style format. In this format athletes take as many runs as possible in a predetermined time period and may or may not proceed to a final round. Can be judged by a panel of judges or by the competitors themselves.

  • Development of a Speed Model for Terrain Park Jumps
    Project Number: CAB-001 ` THE DEVELOPMENT & SOCIETAL IMPACTS OF A SPEED MODEL FOR TERRAIN PARK JUMPS An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Heather M. La Hart Date: Professor Chris A. Brown, IQP Advisor 1. Safety Analysis & Liability Project Number: CAB-001 ABSTRACT The objective of this project was to develop ways to design safer terrain parks. Two separate models, The Geometrical Jump Design Model and The Speed Model, were developed and produced criteria for the initial design and predicted the speed for any jump. To understand the opinions of society on terrain park safety and this research, questionnaires were distributed within the skiing culture. Through field data and surveys it was found that utilizing terrain park design models and integrating them into society and terrain would mostly be welcomed and used. ii Project Number: CAB-001 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to acknowledge Dan Delfino a fellow friend and student at WPI for his ongoing and continuous help, additions, and support of this project over the past two years. I would also like to thank my advisor Professor Chris Brown for the inspiration of this project, his continuous hard but helpful criticism, advice, guidance, and support throughout the entirety of this research. I would like to thank Hanna St.John for providing me a place to stay while conducting my research and support in Colorado. I would also like to thank the resorts of Copper Mountain and Breckenridge Mountain which made collecting data for this research possible.

  • Ski Orienteering Now in the Winter Universiade 2021 Programme
    Media Release Lucerne, 2nd July 2019 Ski orienteering now in the Winter Universiade 2021 programme Even more sport at the Winter Universiade 2021: ski orienteering will be included in the competition programme as the 10th discipline. This was decided today by the International University Sports Federation at the request of the Swiss organisers. The competitions will be held in the Biathlon Arena Lenzerheide. Ski orienteering will complete the competition programme of the 30th Winter Universiade in Switzerland from 21 to 31 January 2021: this was decided today by the Executive Committee of the International University Sports Federation FISU at the request of the Swiss organisers. Urs Hunkeler, Managing Director of the Winter Universiade 2021, is delighted with the decision: «Under the leadership of Swiss Orienteering, the international orienteering community has worked very hard to achieve a successful outcome and to secure funding. This is a strong commitment to the Winter Universiade.» «An important milestone in the long-term strategy» After several student world championships, this year ski orienteering was included for the first time in the programme of the world's largest student winter sports event in Krasnoyarsk (Russia). For the international orienteering community, the inclusion in the programme of the 30th Winter Universiade in 2021 is an important milestone in the long-term strategy, as Swiss Orienteering President Jürg Hellmüller explains: «Our goal is to be part of the Winter Universiade mandatory programme. It is therefore of central importance to participate again in two years' time after our first appearance in Krasnoyarsk.» High proportion of students in ski orienteering Ski orienteering, abbreviated to Ski-O, combines the sports of orienteering and cross-country skiing.
