Several ski companies have recently introduced vibration damping
features in their product lines. These features are designed to improve the
performance of the ski and lessen felt shock. Three brands of vibration damping
systems were tested to determine the effectiveness of the damping features.
Similar skis without damping systems were also tested. The systems were tested
in the lab and on the hill. In the lab the systems were subjected to a variety of
random inputs and their responses recorded. On the hill the data was collected
from the ski and binding as the ski was being used. A portable data collection
system carried by the skier was employed to gather information. It was found that
two of the systems did reduce vibrations and transmitted shock over ranges of the
frequency spectrum. An error in the data collection process prevented a
determination of the effectiveness of the third damping system.
