Ski-snow friction determined with a novel ski-snow tribometer
Schindelwig, K.Published in 1. Snowstorm Konferenz (2017)“…This may be attributed to dry friction in the front part, subsequently smaller friction due to lubrication by meltwater and finally increased capillary drag towards the end. …”

Investigations of fundamental processes in ski-snow friction
Lüthi, A., Fauve, M., Rhyner, H., Müller, E.Published in Science and Skiing VII (2018)“…Energy is then released by dry friction, leading to meltwater formation and lubricated friction at the contact spots. As a consequence, friction is reduced as compared to a purely dry friction situation. …”

Biomechanical adaptation in ice hockey skating
Pearsall, D. J., Turcotte, R. A., Levangie, M. C., Forget, S.Published in Routledge handbook of ergonomics in sport and exercise (2016)“…Furthermore, when a sharp blade is moved rapidly across the surface, sufficient frictional energy may be generated to heat then momentarily melt the ice, creating a transient boundary lubrication between blade and ice: that is, the potential to glide. …”

Molecular effects of gliding
Scherge, M., Böttcher, R.Published in 3rd International Congress on Science and Nordic Skiing - ICSNS 2015. 5-8 June 2015, Vuokatti, Finland (2015)“…Of great value is the intensive collaboration of experienced ski technicians with tribologists familiar with surface science techniques and thin film lubrication. --- The hosting University of Jyväskylä is planning to publish conference proceedings "Science and Nordic Skiing III". …”

Friction reduction using self-waxing alpine skis
Styring, P., Routh, A. F., Parkinson, S.Published in Sports Engineering (2012)“…A continuously waxed ski has been developed that releases a thin film of lubricant under the base of a ski. This replicates the melt water layer observed in snow skis which is caused by frictional and solar heating. …”

Towards a methodology for comparing the effectiveness of different alpine ski waxes
Coupe, R. C., Spells, S. J.Published in Sports Engineering (2009)“…A tentative interpretation involves the delay in forming a lubricating meltwater film under waxed skis by comparison with unwaxed skis. …”

Discussion of the friction of snow skis
Kunio, N., Haizuka, S., Tomizawa, I., Kasahara, H., Nakazato, H., Saito, S., Kaneko, K., Ishii, A., Abe, O.Published in 4th International Congress on Science and Skiing (2007)“…INTRODUCTION: The kinetic frictional coefficient (micro k) of skis shows a very small value and typically is explained by the meltwater lubrication theory (Bowden and Hughes). Colbeck and Warren provided experimental evidence for frictional heating by fastening a thermocouple to the bottoms of downhill and skating skis. …”
