http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/tha.../ice-engg.html Interesting. This article http://www.thedartmouth.com/article....=2004030101030 albeit from the campus paper claims the technology will be mass-produced in nordic skis for the 2005-06 season.

What happens when the batteries run out when you're in the middle of nowhere ? Do you get out your kick wax ?

I think this kind of active skis should be banned in races. Only passive skis allowed, waxing or just mechanical solutions. -- Terje Henriksen Kirkenes

My view of it - either, only one brand, no-wax skis should be allowed,
or everyone is free to invent whatever they want. If I invented a super-glide wax and won a race which I othewise wouldn't ever, I wouldn't feel even a bit that I was cheating. The good guys have 10 technicians waxing for them anyway.
