| Abstract | A large number of measurements of adhesion and sliding resistance were made on approximately half scale model skis of various shapes and surfaced with various materials. The tests Were carried out over a large range of temperature and snow conditions and over a large range of unit loading. Highly loaded skis, surfaced with bakelite and having comparatively high aspect ratio and small bow angle are shown to be much superior to present day skis. A theory is proposed which agrees very well with the results of the tests. |
