Fiberglass and polymers are the main materials used to make skiis. Engineers design these skiis to create the right flexibility and rigidity required to ski according to regulation but also safely and as fast as possible.

Alpine skiiers face the forces of gravity, friction, wind and air resistance as they travel fast down hill on their skiis.

This clip discusses the math of the Winter Olympics like how they score figure skaters and how we find the rate of a speed skater.

Arial skiing requires skiiers to perform jumps and twists in the air on their skiis. Rotating objects have angular momentum and moment of inertia. The skiiers must understand the physics of how they move to perform better

Snow is an essential part of the Winter Olympic Games. Scientists study snow through how it is formed in the atmosphere and how it reacts.
