The steeper the terrain on a turn, the lon- ger the effective edge length, which means greater stability. In ge- neral, modern rocker skis with a properly harmonized flex cover a broader spectrum than cambered models. When a skier puts weight on a traditional cambered ski, the entire length of the ski contacts the slope. On a rocker ski only the middle section makes contact when the ski is flat. The term rocker refers solely to the curve of the ski and the reverse camber that results from it. Unlike a traditionally cambered ski, the rocker ski is not ‘tensioned’ at all. From a technical point of view, the ro- cker is in fact really a reverse camber. But that’s only half the sto- ry. For top performance a reverse camber ski needs adjustments to the construction, sidecut and binding position. The extent of the rocker and type also play a major role in per- formance and skier experience. As you can imagine a tip rocker ski with 2-3 mm of early rise tip will have very different charac- teristics compared to a full rocker model with 20 mm of tip and tail rise. A cambered ski is bent “into shape” by the weight of the skier, forming an arc that dictates the ski’s ideal turning radius. The rockered ski is already formed in the curved shape, making ROCKER VS. CAMBER turns easier to initiate as there is no need to first flex-load the ski into shape. This is a decisive benefit for less experienced skiers, as it makes the transition into the edged position significantly smoother. A skilled skier, more used to the counter pressure of a traditional camber ski, may be intrigued at how much easier it is to initiate ROCKER turns.

With such skis, the contact point of the ground reaction force during ski turns is displaced more medially from beneath the sole of the outer ski, which may present an increased risk of injury. The aim of this study was to investigate knee joint kinetics, kinematics, and lower limb muscle activation as a function of changes of the ski waist width in a laboratory setting. A custom skiing simulator was constructed to enable simulation of different ski waist widths in a quasi-static ski turn position. An optical system was used for capturing knee joint kinematics of the outer leg, whereas a force plate was used to determine the ground reaction force vector. The combination of both systems enabled values for Edited by: external torques acting on the knee joint to be calculated, whereas electromyographic Josef Kroell, measurements enabled an analysis of knee flexor muscle activation.

  • THE DETERMINANTS of SKI RESORT SUCCESS the Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business
    THE DETERMINANTS OF SKI RESORT SUCCESS A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Ezekiel Anouna May/2010 THE DETERMINANTS OF SKI RESORT SUCCESS Ezekiel Anouna May, 2010 Economics Abstract As the economy is in a decline, fewer people are willing to pay for luxuries such as vacations. Thus, the ski resort industry is suffering. This thesis reveals an opportunity m the growth of free skiing and a demand for more difficult terrain. In this paper, data is collected from nearly all Colorado ski resorts to form a regression model explaining resort success. Regression analysis is conducted to discover what aspects of a ski resort contribute to success. Primarily, skier visits from the 2008-2009 ski season are_useclas the dependant variable in the regression model to measure resort success. Additionally, hedonic pricing theory is applied to test lift ticket price as a dependant variable. The paper finds that resort size, and possibly terrain park features are related to resort success. The hedonic pricing regression finds that bowl skiing, and lack of crowds, increase consumer willingness to pay for expensive lift tickets. KEYWORDS: (ski resort, terrain park, hedonic pricing) ON MY HONOR, I HAVE NEITHER GIVEN NOR RECEIVED UNAUTHORIZED AID ON THIS THESIS Signature I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Esther Redmount, for her support and consistent efforts to make sure I was on track. I would like to thank my family for supporting me in so many ways throughout my college career.

    2018-2019 ASC Freeskiing - Program Guide Program Options: Full-Time (Saturday and Sunday) U14 - U19 (12-18 years old) ASC’s Freeskiing program is designed for skiers interested in becoming competitive freeride and freeskiing atHletes. THe program is primarily formatted around tHe International Freeskiers and Snowboarders Association (IFSA) Junior Freeride Competition Tour (www.freeskiers.org), but also has experienced Skiercross and Slopestyle coaches on staff for athletes interested in those disciplines. Our athletes train with experienced coaches to hone their skills in all aspects of freeskiing, with a heavy focus on the fundamentals of freeride: Line CHoice, TecHnique, Style, Fluidity, and Control. THe program will be fluid in terms of training on any given day; groups will optimize tHe focus for eacH day based on snow and weatHer conditions at Alyeska. AtHletes can expect to Have coacH directed trick practice, run tecHnique drills, assessments or mini-competitions, video analysis, mentoring witH older atHlete role models, and of course, freeskiing with a group of some of tHe best freeskiers on tHe mountain. THe mission of tHis program is to Help atHletes become strong well rounded freeskiers in a team environment, while providing them witH tHe opportunity to be successful competitors. THe program will staff one local IFSA Regional event and will travel to 1-3 IFSA National events. AtHletes on tHe travel team are motivated to succeed, good role models on our Home mountain, disciplined, and have good attendance at training. Any atHletes deemed to not represent our team’s values, will be removed from tHe travel team regardless of tHeir registration status for events.

  • Download the Handbook
    Skiing is our passion. It’s often hard to put that passion into words. Let alone, create a handbook to outline the values, stepping stones, and purpose found in the incarnations of this sport we love. The Park and Pipe Division of Team Summit will give it our best shot. This handbook represents our core values and the culture we share with other skiers around the world. We intend for this to be a living resource for parents, coaches, athletes and the greater skiing community. We hope this document will help your family grow in the regional contest series, USASA. Over time, and with hard work, our athletes will emerge in FIS competitions. (FIS, of course being the International Ski Federation.) Our program manages different competition formats such as Rail Jams, Half Pipe, Slopestyle, and Ski Cross. We encourage athletes to cross train, and we welcome those from other disciplines. ​ Breakthroughs can happen all over the mountain. We will divide our team on training days by age and competition types. Our coach-to-athlete ratio will be about 1:7, but will fluctuate as other guest coaches join throughout the season. We are lucky to welcome traveling athletes and coaches on our roster, who enrich the training experience. We have an outstanding staff, with frequent guests lined up to ensure each week of training is robust. Dean will focus primarily on FIS and traveling athletes. Brooke will work with established athletes in USASA. Joel will head up our developing athletes, and support myself and Brooke. My job remains focused on ski fundamentals.
