  2. Ski geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_geometry

    Ski geometry is the shape of the ski. Described in the direction of travel, the front of the ski, typically pointed or rounded, is the tip, the middle is the waist and the rear is the tail. Skis have four aspects that define their basic performance: length, width, sidecut and camber. Skis also differ in more minor ways to address certain niche ...

    The concrete effect of strong vs. weak copyleft has yet to be tested in court.

  4. Ski binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_binding

    A ski binding is a device that connects a ski boot to the ski. Before the 1933 invention of ski lifts, skiers went uphill and down and cross-country on the same gear. As ski lifts became more prevalent, skis—and their bindings—became increasingly specialized, differentiated between alpine (downhill) and Nordic (cross-country, Telemark, and ...

    Bindings: Should be reliable, light, and durable. [11] Boots: Should be light and flexible. [11] Skis: Width: 60-90 mm to balance performance and weight. Skinnier skis lack performance in softer snow but are lighter while wider skis lack performance in firmer snow and are heavier. Lightweight skis make ascent easier.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marker_(ski_bindings)

    Marker ski bindings from the 1990s to 2000s. In 2007, Marker unveiled a new freeski binding system called the Duke. Complemented by the Jester, the new system redefined the performance parameters for freeride bindings. In 2008, the company released two new bindings, the Baron and the Griffon, that are also based on the Duke system.

  7. Alpine skiing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_skiing

    The binding is a device used to connect the skier's boot to the ski. The purpose of the binding is to allow the skier to stay connected to the ski, but if the skier falls the binding can safely release them from the ski to prevent injury. There are two types of bindings: the heel and toe system (step-in) and the plate system binding. [15]

  8. Telemark skiing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemark_skiing

    Generally, Telemark skiers use flexible Alpine skis with specially designed bindings that fix only the toe of the ski boot to the ski, thereby creating the "free heel". Oftentimes the heel is attached to the front of the binding by a hinged cable, which holds the ski boot firmly in the binding. These bindings are often non-releasable. [5]

  9. Ski boot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_boot

    A typical "universal" ski boot of the leather era. This example, by G. H. Bass, includes an indentation around the heel where the cable binding would fit, and a metal plate at the toe for a Saf-Ski release binding. The leather strap is a "long thong", used by downhill skiers to offer some level of lateral control.
