Details

Based on a study originally described at http://www.montana.edu/wwwhhd/movementscilab/ and mentioned on http://www.xcskiworld.com/. The study investigated the effect of grip type on upper body power. As this influences performance in races, presumably a skier would prefer the grip that provides the best power output.
