Enhancing Ski Design Through Correlation Analysis

Enhancing Ski Design Through Correlation Analysis

Advanced ski performance analysis using real-world data. Our methodology integrates sport monitoring sensors and biomechanical insights to optimize ski design, improve athlete performance, and enhance material testing for high-performance skiing.

Optimizing ski design and selecting the right composite materials requires ensuring that skis adapt to terrain conditions, speed, and rider level. The industry standard relies on test rides and subjective feedback, where adjustments are made based on rider sensations. While valuable, this approach lacks the quantifiable insights needed for truly data-driven refinements.

By applying Pearson correlation analysis, we identified which profile thickness zones have the greatest impact on ski performance. Our findings enable engineers to fine-tune ski designs with confidence, enhancing stability, grip, and energy transfer while optimizing material distribution for maximum efficiency.

A Pearson correlation bar chart displays significant correlations between profile thickness and key performance metrics such as rebound height, damping ratio, and stiffness. The analysis highlights how ski shape and material properties influence performance in real-world conditions.

Project Tasks
  • Shape & Dynamic Measurements

    We measured profile thickness, dimensions, and key geometric characteristics across multiple ski models. This allowed us to understand how different constructions and designs influence overall shape and performance.

    Additionally, we conducted custom dynamic tests focused on ski tip behavior, analyzing elasticity, stiffness, damping, and torsion. These structured measurements provided clear performance indicators, offering a precise understanding of each ski’s construction.

  • Statistical Pearson Correlation

    Our statistical analysis identified strong correlations between thickness profiles and dynamic responses, revealing how material distribution affects ski stability and handling. These insights provide engineers with actionable data to optimize ski shape for specific performance goals.

    Furthermore, this data-driven approach allows brands to enhance decision-making, ensuring that design improvements are based on measurable performance gains rather than subjective feedback alone.

Project Details

Developing high-performance skis requires balancing comfort, stability, and control while ensuring materials and shape interact optimally. Understanding how these factors influence real-world behavior is essential for refining ski performance and achieving a superior ride quality.
