Received: 17 August 2020; Accepted: 15 December 2020; Published: 18 December 2020 Abstract: Climate change affects snowpack properties indirectly through the greater need for artificial snow production for ski centers. The seasonal snowpacks at five ski centers in Central Slovakia were examined over the course of three winter seasons to identify and compare the seasonal development and inter-seasonal and spatial variability of depth average snow density of ski piste snow and uncompacted natural snow. The spatial variability in the ski piste snow density was analyzed in relation to the snow depth and snow lances at the Košútka ski center using GIS. A special snow tube for high-density snowpack sampling was developed (named the MM snow tube) and tested against the commonly used VS-43 snow tube. Measurements showed that the MM snow tube was constructed appropriately and had comparable precision. Significant differences in mean snow density were identified for the studied snow types.

  • Ski Simulator of Igor Koshutin for Demonstrating and Helping the Novice Skiers/Racers to Learn the Essential Constituent Parts of Skiing
    Ski Simulator of Igor Koshutin For demonstrating and helping the novice skiers/racers to learn the essential constituent parts of skiing The invention relates to the field of sport, in particular to ski training simulators, particularly devices for exercises and slalom skills, as well as devices for entertainment. There are a number of known methods of teaching and training for skiers, snow-boarders and water- skiers out of real tracks, as well as devices that implemented such solutions. As an example, there is a well-known way of teaching and training of skiers implemented in a device (patent US 3524641 A63V 69/18, 1970), where turn movements are simulated by moving the skier’s feet left and right while standing on a platform, and the skier balances using poles planted on the floor or ground. One shortcoming of known method is the inadequacy of the feet and body movements to simulate conditions in terms of changing the direction of skis due to a technical solution with the only translatory/linear motion of the carrying element with the platform. Also, there are ways of teaching and training skiers implemented in devices, where a rotating platform with the supporting surface for feet, skis or snowboard moves plane-parallel left-right, rectilinearly (see US patent 5078389, A63V 69/18, 1992) or along arc on the supporting unit (see. US 69/3511499, A63V 18, 1965; FR 1486082, A63V 69/18, 1967) or along arc on the supporting unit made as a beam (NL 8702665, A63V 69/18, 1989; US 4 A63V 69/846463, 18, 1989).

  • Optimal Preparation of Alpine Ski Runs
    OPTIMAL PREPARATION OF ALPINE SKI RUNS Mathieu Fauve*, Hansueli Rhyner, Martin Schneebeli, Walter Ammann WSL Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, CH-7260 Davos, Switzerland ABSTRACT: The demands on the quality of ski runs have grown with the development of sports equipment. A skiing run must nowadays provide perfect grip, have a certain strength and be durable in order to satisfy the users. The preparation of ski runs involves many snow transformations such as recrystallization, vapor transport, and sintering. These processes strongly depend on the weather conditions that can obviously not be influenced. Therefore, understanding the influences of the various processes involved in grooming is crucial to choose the optimal time and procedure to prepare the runs. Our aim is to optimize the preparation of skiing runs from a technical, economical and ecological point of view. We developed a framework in which the physical and mechanical processes of snow, the weather forecast and type of grooming was taken into account. The influence of snow properties on grooming practice for both, natural and machine-made snow was considered. We propose the best suited grooming method and preparation time for both dry and wet snow in order to obtain high quality and durable runs. Regarding its structural and mechanical properties, machine-made snow constitutes a good snowpack and requires less processing than natural snow for its hardening. By following the proposed scheme the best conditions possible for all skier and riders can be created. Keywords: ski run, snow grooming, weather, snow properties, snow sintering, machine-made snow 1.

  • The Development of Interactive Ski-Simulation System by Physics-Based Analysis
    ( The Development of Interactive Ski-Simulation System By Physics-based Analysis Moonsub Jin, Chunho Choi, Bummo Ahn, Sayub Kim, Kyungryul Chung Wellness Technology R&D Group, Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, Korea [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we have developed a ski-simulation system to obtain more information about the physics-based simulation models using Newton’s second law of motion. We present a real time simulation of ski playing by using the physics-based modeling and verify physics models through field test. We applied these models and parameters by regression analysis to develop interactive ski-simulator. The developed ski-simulator analyzes user’s full body and center of mass using Kinect device in real time and provides feedback about force, velocity and acceleration for user. As a result, through the develop- ment of interactive ski-simulator, we accumulated experience and skills based on physics models for development of sports simulator.

  • Business in Brief
    Business in brief 1. MARKET TENDENCIES The number of people in the world, who are engaged in skiing, is growing rapidly and according to various estimates by 2020 will exceed 500 million of people. During the past 3 years skiing season at European ski resorts has decreased by 30% due to warm and less snow winters. People want to enjoy skiing in the mountains but also tend to train in advance before the visit. This kind of dynamic stimulates the demand for ski services, including the development of indoor ski clubs. Some European countries with the population of 9-10 million have about 40 ski clubs and each has 2-3 «endless slope» ski simulators. We know from our experience, that the population of up to 50 thousand people, who are living within 20-25 minutes away, would be enough to provide the positive financial business of the club. In developing countries with the income level lower than the European one, ski vacations are gaining pace. Therefore, 1 club will open for every 200,000 citizens at first. The next 3-4 years will increase this ratio to 1 ski club for every 100,000 citizens. Indoor ski club guarantees the low level of competition in the niche of active recreations and the annual 100% level of demand. Due to the Proleski unique features, it is possible to get more than 65% of regulars with high and long-term customer loyalty. Ski Club - is a profitable and perspective business: The indoor Ski Club - is one of the fastest growing and profitable businesses with low competition among the outdoor activities (the increase of demand - more than 100% annually).
