As the base of your ski or Snow Board glides over the snow, small
droplets of water form at the points of contact between base and
snow. If the area of contact is too large, friction increases - this
can lead to the creation of a large film of water, which in turn can
produce a strong vacuum effect. Of course, with a small area of
contact and little friction, it can be more difficult to achieve the
desired lubricating effect. Base structures can provide the solution
in these situations. In order to create an optimal area of contact
between ski and snow, a structure is ground into the surface of the
base. In racing sports, these structures are tailored to the texture
of the surface of the snow on a quite individual basis - whereby
they guarantee an optimally gliding ski. The selection criteria:
with low temperatures and fine snow crystals a fine structure is
needed, so as to maximize the contact area and friction strengths.
In warmer temperatures, coarsely grained snow and wet snow demand
coarsely grained structures in order to reduce the contact area,
thus hindering the unwanted, braking vacuum effect.

With the new 50 mm
broadened Structurite Nordic, structures can be simply grooved even
in shaped cross-country skis. With 2 interchangeable structure
rollers: broken linear, coarse structure for coarse, icy. Broken
linear, fine structure for dry, fine powder.
This is a great structure
tool because the rill is pressed, not cut. This means that
structuring your ski is almost risk free. Use this as a final
application as to not scrape it out while waxing.
With 2 interchangeable structure rollers: broken linear, coarse
structure for coarse, icy. Broken linear, fine structure for dry,
fine powder snow or cold, fine old snow. |
