The freestyle ski slope obstacle course competition held at the Genting Ski Park in the Zhangjiakou Area of the Beijing Winter Olympics was cancelled today due to weather conditions. Why are ski races afraid of snow? First of all, snow will have an impact on the track.
First, the accompanying heating when it snows will affect the snow temperature and snow quality of the track, so the type and amount of waxing of the athlete's snowboard needs to be adjusted accordingly. Second, the new snow brought about by snowfall will make the surface of the track soft and the friction increase, which is not conducive to the players.
And the low visibility in snowy weather will affect the vision of athletes and referees. Especially for athletes who are sliding at high speeds, it is very dangerous.
