Alpine skiing is an essentially dynamic bipedal gliding activity, the learning of which cannot really be facilitated without knowing precisely why it is better to go about it in such a way to pilot oneself efficiently with current skis, rather than otherwise. In other words, without knowing a limited number of fundamental laws of mechanics and physiological knowledge about humans‧e‧s, which explain the evolution of the body techniques used by today’s champions. Those who, together with the manufacturers of their skis and other equipment, are driving the evolution of recreational and competitive alpine skiing. Our work on the technological modelling of this scientifically-approved physical activity has enabled us to describe and transmit this knowledge, using a Power Point to illustrate precisely what needs to be observed to accurately assess a skier’s technical ability, in order to develop the relevant advice likely to help him or her overcome the technical obstacle currently limiting his or her performance, and to original instruments that materialise the biomechanical consequences (forces and moments of forces) generated by the deformations of their bodies made by those who regularly climb to the top of the podiums in international events by efficiently traversing the competition courses, or by recreational skiers to cross reliefs and/or coasts.
