You might be right about that the test itself could affect the track 
especially if snow has fallen recently but if the track is well prepared 
I don't think it should affect that much. However, I think the ski 
should really be tested in the real situation to get the most reliable 
result, therefore one cannot test it without the skier himself and not 
on a different medium than the one in the contest.

Will the sonic sensor method be hard to implement? I havent used one 
before and I really was thinking of a more easier method. How about an 
accelerometer like memsic 2125 found on parallax page?
