quentin talks to the 'snowman', whose job it is to recoat the slopes overnight with a fresh layer of snow using a snow gun and a tractor. over the last decade the drive to go faster, further and higher than anyone else has increased and ski design has changed radically. peter styring, ex-ski racer and professor of chemical engineering at the university of sheffield, shows quentin his secret formula for making skis go faster. quentin will be donning his salopettes, raising his ski poles and slaloming through the latest technologies in skiing. it's enough to make eddie the eagle proud!  q&a special quentin will be presenting a special edition of material world on thursday 11th january where he'll be attempting to find answers to your burning scientific questions. if there is something you've always wanted to know about the world of science, please send us your question by following this link. related links xscape university of sheffield: dr peter styring bbc science & nature bbc radio 4 science programmes the bbc is not responsible for the content of external websites audio help don't miss science puzzles maths, physics, chemistry, genetics, nature... can you solve our science puzzles?
