Intermediate Ski Curriculum ------Which Group Should I Join? (Skills and Fitness)
New Mexico Cross Country Ski Club Intermediate Ski Curriculum ----------------------------------- Which group should I join? (skills and fitness) Ask yourself: “Am I comfortable snow plow turning on a slope and doing step turns?” If the answer is “no,” stick with the beginners. That's just what the beginner group will practice. If the answer is “yes” and you think you are an intermediate student, “Have I skied for most of a day, 5 miles or more?” You should be fit enough to be out all-day, ski six miles & do some work up and down hills. Why Learn Intermediate Skills?: When people learn downhill (alpine) skiing, they usually learn that only beginners snowplow, and once you move beyond beginner level, you parallel ski and no longer snow plow. This is NOT true for cross-country and back- country skiing. Please check this attitude at the door. Cross-country & back-country means having options & making choices, depending on conditions & terrain. Just because someone can parallel or telemark turn doesn't mean they don't snow plow when necessary. A skilled cross-country or back-country skier has a repertoire of turns and skills. For example, on a mountainous back-country tour or hut trip when a trail is narrow or icy or steep or trees are close and skiers carry heavy packs, to descend treacherous places they may snowplow, use kick-turns, or make a wide traverse instead of going down the fall line. When the legs are tired or the snow very deep, skiers may use techniques such as parallel or use step turns. -

Since that time, Utah has won nine national titles, was the runner-up six times and finished third twice. 2003 ACCOMPLISHMENTS -Kevin Sweeney, in just his fourth year as Utah’s head ski coach, led the co-ed team to the 2003 NCAA Ski Championship Title -It was the 11th national title in Utah’s ski history and its first since 1997 -Utah’s 131-point victory over runner-up Vermont marked the biggest margin of victory at an NCAA Ski Championship -In her first year of NCAA skiing, Katrin Smigun went undefeated and was the only dual winner at -
Alpine Skiing Drill Book Updated August 2008 Coaching Principles STEPS in TEACHING a DRILL 1
Alpine Skiing Drill Book Updated August 2008 Coaching Principles STEPS IN TEACHING A DRILL 1. Introduce 2. Demonstrate 3. Explain 4. Organize 5. Execute 6. Correct 7. Practice GENERAL PRINCIPLES Drills should relate specifically to what you are teaching. Athletes should be made aware of how drills relate to the sport. Drills should only be a part of your practice. Drills should be introduced at a slow pace and then gradually increased Drills should be accommodated for fitness, age and abilities. Drills should move from simple to complex. First perform drills that will help keep the interest of athletes. Drills should relate to the system of play that the athletes will use. Perform a variety of drills to prevent monotony. As fatigue sets in, technique deteriorates so provide frequent rest periods. EXECUTION PRINCIPLES Review the drill procedure before practice so you know how it works. When introducing a new drill, walk a group of athletes through it so others can see how it is performed. Avoid talking too much, get the athletes performing, they will learn by doing. When errors occur, the drill should be stopped momentarily to correct errors. Praise those athletes doing the drill well and encourage those having difficulty. If equipment is necessary, ensure it is set up before so that progression from one drill to the next can progress smoothly. Warming up for alpine is about becoming comfortable on the skis. Proper stretching of the lower body is also very important. As a group, work through a series of exercises on the skis. Follow these exercises with 5 minutes of stretching. -
Verification and Validation in Computational Fluid Dynamics1
SAND2002 - 0529 Unlimited Release Printed March 2002 Verification and Validation in Computational Fluid Dynamics1 William L. Oberkampf Validation and Uncertainty Estimation Department Timothy G. Trucano Optimization and Uncertainty Estimation Department Sandia National Laboratories P. O. Box 5800 Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185 Abstract Verification and validation (V&V) are the primary means to assess accuracy and reliability in computational simulations. This paper presents an extensive review of the literature in V&V in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), discusses methods and procedures for assessing V&V, and develops a number of extensions to existing ideas. The review of the development of V&V terminology and methodology points out the contributions from members of the operations research, statistics, and CFD communities. Fundamental issues in V&V are addressed, such as code verification versus solution verification, model validation versus solution validation, the distinction between error and uncertainty, conceptual sources of error and uncertainty, and the relationship between validation and prediction. The fundamental strategy of verification is the identification and quantification of errors in the computational model and its solution. In verification activities, the accuracy of a computational solution is primarily measured relative to two types of highly accurate solutions: analytical solutions and highly accurate numerical solutions. Methods for determining the accuracy of numerical solutions are presented and the importance of software testing during verification activities is emphasized. The fundamental strategy of 1Accepted for publication in the review journal Progress in Aerospace Sciences. 3 validation is to assess how accurately the computational results compare with the experimental data, with quantified error and uncertainty estimates for both. -

Biomechanical Aspects of New Techniques in Alpine Skiing and Ski-Jumping
Journal of Sports Sciences, 2003, 21, 679–692 Biomechanical aspects of new techniques in alpine skiing and ski-jumping ERICH MU¨ LLER* and HERMANN SCHWAMEDER Institute of Sport Science, University of Salzburg, Akademiestr. 26, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria Accepted 10 May 2003 There have been considerable changes in equipment design and movement patterns in the past few years both in alpine skiing and ski-jumping. These developments have been matched by methods of analysing movements in field conditions. They have yielded new insights into the skills of these specific winter sports. Analytical techniques have included electromyography, kinetic and kinematic methods and computer simulations. Our aim here is to review biomechanical research in alpine skiing and ski-jumping. We present in detail the techniques currently used in alpine skiing (carving technique) and ski-jumping (V-technique), primarily using data from the authors’ own research. Finally, we present a summary of the most important results in biomechanical research both in alpine skiing and ski-jumping. This includes an analysis of specific conditions in alpine skiing (type of turn, terrain, snow, speed, etc.) and the effects of equipment, materials and individual- specific abilities on performance, safety and joint loading in ski-jumping. Keywords: electromyography, equipment, hills, simulation, turns. Introduction during data acquisition and often compromises had to be made to arrive at the best possible solution. Within Over the past few years, dramatic changes have taken the last few years, changes in measurement methods place in alpine skiing and ski-jumping.
