This square-cube law seems to possibly be an urban legend (or not, I don't know). Does anyone know what basis in fact there is for it? I thought maybe the author could possibly be referring to the fact that air resistance increases with the cube of speed. Spalding 04:10, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Today I changed Newton to Galileo based on the information in reference 1. The actual accuracy and source of this "law" is still unclear to me. Spalding 15:34, May 1, 2005 (UTC)

Equations
I'm pretty sure the equation given for friction Ff=(Fn) should really be Ff=μ(Fn) where μ is the coefficient of friction. Anyone else thinking the same? 71.113.37.132 (talk) 09:54, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Other Sports
Does this article need to be specifically about skiing or would you be able to apply the same theories to snowboarding, ice skating, sledding, bobsled, etc? Perhaps making the article less specific may help to make it more applicable to a wider study.
