Non-nerds take warning: this article is high in technical content.   Over the years, there has been much discussion about the exact path that ski take. Questions have been raised as to things like the desirability and/or the inevitability of shins that don't deviate from parallelism by more than 0.001 degree, track widths that should (or shouldn't) stay of constant width, when... read more
