Cover Story: A method was developed for determining the macro-scale contact mechanical properties between cross-country skis and snow. To this end, measurements of ski camber profiles were taken for a range of equivalent loading conditions, corresponding to the plantar pressure that an athlete outputs while skiing. An artificial neural network, designed to predict a ski camber profile given a loading condition, was then trained on this set of measurements. The ANN-predicted ski camber profile, elastic properties of (virtual model of) the snow, and loading conditions are inputted into a BEM-based model, which is used to numerically simulate the ski–snow contact mechanical problem in order to predict the apparent contact area and the corresponding contact pressure.
