CHARACTERISATION OF SNOW STRUCTURE IN A CROSS-COUNTRY RACE SKI TRACK
Characterization of a sliding surface, such as the snow surface in a cross-country ski track, is necessary in order to understand ski base sliding friction and results from ski base sliding friction tests. It is, therefore, important to register essential snow parameters when performing accurate ski base sliding friction tests in-situ. This paper presents the mean snow grain diameter and the standard deviation of grain diameters calculated for 34 snow surface microscope images of ski tracks. The analysis of snow surface grains in ski tracks has shown that the typical grain size ranges from 0.08 mm to 2.59 mm.
