Science and Engineering of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games: Stability & Vibration Damping in Alpine Skiing

For alpine skiers Heath Calhoun and Julia Mancuso the engineering and design of their skis will be critical to success at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, especially when it comes to hard packed snow surfaces where vibrations on the slope impact speed and performance. “Science and Engineering of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games” is produced in partnership with the National Science Foundation.
