Abstract
Since in modern high-performance sports, the technical component is decisive, an important element of skiing race is the sliding surface of skis. This paper presents a review of papers on sliding mechanics and discusses modern ways to improve it and prospects for the development of this area in modern energy and environmental conditions. A detailed analysis of various factors affecting the sliding mechanics, in particular, snow cover albedo, and microroughness of the sliding surface of skis is given
