Hey NS,
I'm writing a paper for college and need help with a topic. We have to choose a topic in our field of interest (My major is Mechanical Engineering), and write a proposal then later a research paper on it.

I need help coming up with a problem in skiing today that you feel has been over looked or needs improving.

It could be:
ski design
lift layouts
safety concerns

Any thing that you would like to see improved. It also doesn't have to be skiing related, but I'd like for it to be along the lines of Engineering, or Physics.

A plastic insert for your boot that prevents shinbang.

A binding as light as a dynafit that doesn't use pins and has a predictable din release.

You must really walk a lot in your boots. How about keeping your shoes on for those 2 mile+ walks.

Not sure how it would be done, but snowmaking that lasted in all temperatures and skied like real snow. Skiing all year round!

Bomb proof bindings. No matter what bindings I've had they've died, even my FKS'.
